Garbage Thoughts

2006-05-14T19:00:00.000-04:00

I’m always wrong
And I don’t know why
But I’ll never fail
If I never try
And when I look around
I’m unsatisfied
I ain’t going nowhere
Except out of my mind

And these are my garbage thoughts
In my mind they infest
Where all hope goes to rot
And where desire is laid to rest
This is what goes on inside
An emotional wasteland
A spiritual landslide
Psychological suicide
I don’t know

I am a bastard
That’s just how I am
And I won’t say I’m sorry
Till I give a damn
I’m so afraid
Of consequence
Yet I’ll dive if I wanna
I’ll only live once

Whole World's Gone

2006-05-14T18:36:00.000-04:00

I see all
I know all
I look down
On everyone
They shame me
I foresee
Your whole world
Come undone
I’m not pleased
You’ve forgotten me
A new disease
Might help restore

Your memories
You are my pawns
I dictate
All that goes on
Snap my fingers
And your whole world’s gone

It hurts me
To say this
No mercy
For the meaningless
The time has come
So be aware
Go fuck yourselves
For all I care

For all I care
You drop that bomb
You dictate
All that goes on
Push that button
And your whole world’s gone

You’ll never see
This cloud that I’m on
And you’ll never be
When bygones are gone
You’ll never know
What’s right and what’s wrong
Cause you’ll never know who
Who’s side that I’m on
Today is the day
Your whole world is gone

Disinter

Rain
Whips against my face
I never thought I would wake
I’ve been struck by a spade
It takes my remains
But I still remain

I found myself twelve stories high
And I thought I’d jump at the
First chance
I found myself falling down
Without a frown nor fear of
Circumstance
And I found myself hit the bottom
It was on the day that I reached
Stardom
And I found myself called a martyr
Unaware of the trend I
Started

Won’t you leave me
Where I lay?

I found myself six feet down
Heard every sound of
Every theory
And I found myself brought back to pain
By droves of those
Who never knew me
And I found myself on the cover
Long past the day they
Put me under
And I found myself back in the rain
Returned to me my fear
Of thunder

I found myself for a moment
Without life and it felt
Just right

Won’t you leave me
Where I lay?

Need

2006-05-14T16:14:00.000-04:00

On a summer day
In my cloudy head
All my healing pills
Make me sick instead
If I could go back
I would change my ways
It’s so easy
To say

I don’t need you today
I don’t need you
It’s so easy to say
I don’t

I’ve been diagnosed
With a fractured soul
I wish there were a cure
For my self control
My integrity
Gets the best of me
It longs to be
Your abductee

Images
Drawn up on the overhead
Yesterday
You seemed like such a worthy kid
Laugh and play
All within my window frame
Unafraid
It used to be that way
It used to be that way

Lie awake
Wrapped in lovely shades of red
Hungry veins
Keep clawing at my cloudy head
Words to say
With every obligated breath
Nothing left
Nothing left to say
I’ve got nothing left to say

I don’t need you
Nothing left to say
I’ve got nothing left to say
I don’t need you
Nothing left to say
I’ve got nothing left to say
It’s so easy
Nothing left to say
I’ve got nothing left to say
I don’t

Olethea

2006-05-14T15:55:00.000-04:00

In her eyes
I see the skies
The sun rises to
And in her hair
I can see freedom
As the wind blows through
And in her face
I see a place
I’d rather be
The things I see
Could’ve only been
Shown to me by you

Honesty
In my dreams
I know you’re for real
Honestly
If we don’t meet
You’ll know how I feel

When she speaks
I hear the leaves
Fall from the trees
And when she sings
Waves crash the beach
And put me at ease
But when she cries
Part of me dies
For I know what's next
Awaken again
My senses will end
Those shown to me by you

Honesty
In my dreams
I know you’re for real
Honestly
If we don’t meet
You’ll know how I feel

Generation Angst

2006-05-14T14:28:00.000-04:00

Would you look at us
We all belong in group homes
Together with our issues
And all of our faulty chromosomes
Not nearly naïve enough
To have never known
Our fathers are the one to blame

Would you look at us
Swarming our convenience stores
We’re over educated
And we’ve all become pro bono whores
Not nearly naïve enough
To have never known
Our fathers are the one to blame

And would you look at us
With all our doctors notes
Proudly choosing all our poisons
Overdosing on our anecdotes
Not nearly naïve enough
To have never known
Our fathers are the one to blame

Thanks
On behalf of generation angst
On behalf of generation angst
On behalf of generation angst

What will come of you?
When in need of our transplanted souls
Have you thought it through?
The torch will pass once the gap is closed
Are you naïve enough
To have never known?
Your sons are what your future holds

Mommy Raped Me

2006-05-13T22:02:00.000-04:00

Daddy raped Mommy
Mommy raped me
Daddy robbed Mommy
Of her virginity
My Mommy robbed me
Of all that I could be
Daddy raped Mommy
My Mommy raped me

Daddy raped Mommy
Mommy raped me
Daddy raped Mommy
Mommy raped me

Daddy did his time
And now he’s off free
Mommy never learned
And now she’s raped three
As I sit in this bucket
Barely a memory
Daddy raped Mommy
My Mommy killed me

Daddy raped Mommy
Mommy killed me
Daddy raped Mommy
Mommy killed me

Just As Natural

2006-05-13T21:33:00.000-04:00

I am the weeds
That lie underneath
Your rose petals
And I’ll never shine
For I’m always standing
In your shadows
And I wouldn’t mind
If someone sniffed me
Once in a while
I won't make you blind
And soon you will see
I am beautiful

For I am just as natural
I am just as natural
I am just as natural
I am just as natural

I am the weeds
That cease to decease
Till I kill your garden
Please don’t hate me
Or my shade of green
I beg your pardon
I won’t make you blind
And soon you will see
I am beautiful
I might not be
As quite as fancy
But I am just as natural

I am just as natural
I am just as natural
I am just as natural
I am just as natural

Shallow End Theory

2006-05-13T20:51:00.000-04:00

I know something you don’t know
You’ve only got one half hour to go
And you may think my heart is cold
You may think I have no soul

You may think I’m shallow
You may think I’m hollow
You may think I’m evil
You may think I am an asshole

Dive in me
Bottom out
Right or wrong
Dive in me
Bottom out

I’ve been asked to watch over you
I don’t know if I am fit to
And when this is all said and done
We’ll wonder where them good times have gone

You may think I’m shallow
You may think I’m hollow
You may think I’m evil
You may think I am an asshole

Doing donuts in the parking lot
Sharing secrets over joints and shit
Picking up girls down at the coconut
We took life and made a point of it

The Matter

2006-05-13T19:07:00.000-04:00

There hasn't been a day
Without a bloody war
There hasn't been a country
Worthy of fighting for
There hasn't been a man
That hasn't hit his son
There hasn't been a kid
That's never dreamt of holding a gun
There hasn't been one woman
Who hasn't been made to bend
Has there been a doubt in your mind
That this has got to end?

Black clouds
Overhead
And it’s raining
Bloodshed
And I fear there is no shelter near
Another year of ‘what’s the matter dear?’

Wouldn’t it be nice if we
Had something to look forward to?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we
Did not have to be like you?
Wouldn’t it be great if we
Could stand out in the sun?
Wouldn’t it be nice if they
All went back to where they came from?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we
Forgave and were forgiven?
Wouldn’t it be nice if we
Had a better hell to live in?

I’m so sick of you
I’m still stuck with you
