The Land Sailors Call of Duty
believe it when you hear the solid calls
shouted from the highest of mountain peaks
echoing beyond the shores of the great sea
across oceans of missed opportunities
forgotten failure that is enough to kill a man
out there
is a ship that sails
with a crew of broken hearted men
mean and strong due to a woman
or whatever else there is
and meanwhile back on the shores
monsters in evil clad leather
stalk the pubs and clubs
searching for prey
it's so easy this way
survival at it's best
drink with the fishes
drink with me
celebrate this distaster (or refrain)
in which we eat horrible meals of flesh
for the honorable dead ones
no longer to be found
languages lost in time
cultures locked in 40 ounce bottles
broken glasses on our feet
as we run from the cops
those fucking pigs
we piss on the rules
so gently written
only to be broken
by trash like me
and my friends
we will dance
and sing
on top of burning piles
of dead officers
in which we've ALL
murdered
for justice
for peace
for something new
for us to do
tonight
I drink for those lives
Lost
Broken
Shattered
Loved
Rejoice
In their loss

Phone Call
That I can argue with
Who argues with me
And share the best of words
In the worst of ways
I've never felt so insecure as I have
With you
And it's only because
I care so much
About what you think
The arguments we still have
Effect me so deeply
And all for what?
When I can't have what I need
From you
So I tell the world
(Or the few who read this)
about my life with you
because I care so much
I never lied to you in my life
I never felt such a weight
As the weight you've put
On my back
I will carry it forever
Or as long as I remember
When years have passed
I will think of what could have been
And what never was
This is for you
As so much of this is
And for anyone else who can
Relate To this
I have nothing
You, the world
You will never see it
Because I can no longer
Feel a thing
And you obviously can
I wish I could see you every day
But I guess I do
In the sunrises
In the crowds
In the scents
In the words
In the paintings
In my mind
You are always with me
Like my lazy angel
Who never shows up
When I need her the most
I wanted to give you the world
Now I can only give it to
the rest
enjoy it
this is my pain
for you
-------------------------------------------------
Everyday Life
I completely fall into myself
Oceans deep and galaxies wide
Floating free in this void
Weightless and thoughtless
Tonight I walk around useless
My mind floats above me
like it's attached to a balloon on a string
is everything really just nothing?
and it's complete antithesis
fully aware I don't know shit
but I know what I see
burning inside of me
when nobody listens
I know they couldn't understand
Anyways, through the days
Tomorrow is the same
Next week I'll feel some worth
As I trade my time
Doing some work
Screaming these feelings
Without saying a word
We are not free
As we struggle on and on and
on and on and on
Listen to what's been written
And forget what's been told
-----------------------------------------------------
Sunshine Hearts
Oh dearest Sunshine,
You will always have my heart
Melt this freezing man
With just one glance
from those fiery eyes
When I nearly died
You saved this poor soul
Breaking through the blinds
Shower me with light
Awake me to the days passed
That live in such a dark place
Deep inside my cloudy mind
Always looking down from the skies
Too bright see with eyes
Too much to embrace
Lost in the nights
You are so close
Yet still so far gone
I will never see your light
Illuminating my life so bright
Again
Can
Not
Escape
The rise and the fall
Of the inevitable
At the day’s end
I will face the East
I cry alone
Tears fall
As the sunsets
Towards the West
------------------------------------------------------
Ghetto Head
A thousand jigsaw pieces
on the street
Scattered, broken
never to be seen
full or complete
Lost in purpose
Found in reason
With these words
The puzzle is complete
The image is blurry
The eye can not see
Without the mind
To ruin it's beauty
To make it seem less
Then some archaic masterpiece
Lying on the dirty street
--------------------------------------------
A little more on Angel and Devils
Across from a devil
Surrounded by
Soft atmosphere
I make her
what she is
Innocent and true
While I have my
Evil
Intentions
Drunken fool
Sober sweet heart
Thieves and detectives
Incomplete without the other
Crime and justice
Obsolete without each other
Let's make this complete
He suggests
Let's find some trouble
So we can solve this crime
She simply nods
Without agreement
Or disagreement
Nothing else happens
And devil boy
Walks home
drunk and alone
and angel girl leaves
after one drink
with her man
while demons sleep
on the couch
while angels cuddle
enough to Love
and close in warmth
we rest so cold
under filthy robes
dying & living
trying & giving
tonight we sleep
cold & alone
-------------------------------------------------
one trick pony
one trick pony
two bit phony
always so lame
always, always the same
tell them when to dance
tell them when to sing
you never had the chance
with the confidence you never bring
----------------------------------------------------
This Time
Calendar
Clock
Watch
Watching
Time goes by
Without remorse
For you or me
Boring
Reading
Waiting
Confining
For you or me
Without remorse
Time goes by
Relief
Escape
Nothing
Inside
Without remorse
Time goes by
For you and me
WAKE THE FUCK UP!
--------------------------------------------------------
Cheap Talkers
You're talkin all shit about sucide
But you've got so much to offer
While you're still alive
Are you still alive?
Are you still alive?
Are you gonna let them tell you that you've
Gotta to go
When you're not even ready
To see the world
You got so much to give
Copout lies seek alternative
How much have you lived?
How much have you lived?
I'd rather fail in the streets
Then struggle in their heat
In the white collar, blue collar
Bullshit heap
They'll tell you not to try
But what else will fly?
In the real world there's so much competition
But the test is in the work that's your creation
Ideas are great
Unless written in vein
But you've gotta live it through
There's so much to do
In so little time
So why not stay alive?
And prove them wrong
With your own fuckin song
Or whatever you can make
In the spirit of awake
It's up to you
To show the world
You're true
Put your words where your mouth spews
And remember that change is part of growing
Follow truth and the current news
Seek truth in the lies showing
Philosophies
Have degrees
Of validity
With common standards
Of living sanity
But unless applied
Those ideals will die
And so will YOU
