Let Me Loose

Take me to Japan, take me away from here
So many problems that I can’t seem to stay clear
Look to the sky where the plan will take me up high
Told my folks that everything will be alright
Don’t bother now cause I can’t see myself
Going further than my own regrets
Learning the words, teaching me again
Hold on to my last breath
Take me further, past the comfort of my town
Look from coast to coast as I’m singing these songs
Motive in my mind and blood in my heart
Proving to everyone that I won’t fall apart
Take me up north, where my Canadian friends are
Hope this bus will take me further than my car
See the plains of corn just like at home
Looks like I haven’t drifted far from my own

Cosmic Eulogy

Up here in space you look so far away
Just wish that I could be there too
I took my oath, put myself though this
Now I’m lost out here in outer space
Computers short out, I had no doubt
That this would be our last day
Blaming came the game
Anger and rage, as we drift out into the unknown
Oh my, oh my, and I don’t even miss you
It hurts so bad I cry, and I don’t even miss you
Oh my, oh my, oh my, and I don’t even miss you
It hurts so bad I cry, and I don’t even miss you
I die
It’s so cold up here, much more that where I’m from
I have a crew that looks for guidance
As we drift away, still in the Milky Way
I plead Huston “can you still hear us”?
As the air depletes, and time runs out
Mind racing a million miles
As we say goodbye, for the last time
I close my eyes, and open them in a hospital

Alice Has Gone Insane

Just because your doctor says it’s okay,
and just because you’ve a prescription with your name
Makes no difference I don’t need excuses,
you’re no better than the rest amongst the abusers
I find it kind of funny, and a little dumb
All those commercials that advertise your drug
Who ask their doctor what brand’s most prefer?
Makes us obsessed, no better than the rest
Drug addicted America
No matter how old, you’re part of the line
Just because you think you have it approved you won’t die
Tell you what’s what, you should’ve read the fine print
So many things can prevent the state that you’re in
I’m running, I’m so blind
Hold on to what’s left of my life
I practice my ritual every night
I give, and I give, and prepare to fight

Young and light hearted, everyone thinks your cool
Getting those free drinks down by the pool
The party’s just getting started, and you know you can’t resist
You had a little too much to drink, too much to drink
Gone to college, learn more than books
Your friends are really rowdy, and you can’t focus on your work
Everybody’s bored, and what do you got to lose?
Bring in the kegs, and bust out that old busty blues
Grandmas got a tramp stamp, that’s alright by me
You thought you were pretty hot when you’re 23
Shaking that tail, sweet talk yourself though life
41 years past and you haven’t lost your fight
You were pretty drunk and ready for the world
Any day could be your last, excuses aren’t for girls
Time to get some art done, your parents said “no”
And now you’ve got a tramp stamp and you’re 64
Here it goes, and I said

Life & Debt

You have so much, and yet you still complain
The family that’s there for you, and someone to love you everyday
I’m so sick of what flows from your mouth
Start looking up and take a look around
Because life is easy to give up
And yet it’s not a game if all you do is stop
I can’t see you die this way
Because it ain’t easy
I wish you’d try
Come over here and hold my hand for the last time
The body of an angel is all others see
Your eyes are broken, and dread is all they perceive
Fasting like a protest is not the only way
Please stop before the anger hides all the little things
Inhale that last cigarette, let the cancer grow
Try to seek pity, instead all you do is gloat
Making your own problems is your downfall
Please keep it up and you won’t see sundown
Seeking Jesus right before the end
Prayers never answered, ignored once again
Going through the steps of denial has only begun
Lips turn blue, and your heart ceases to go on

Lost And Never Found

You told me just to wait here, I’ll see you soon enough
But it’s been hours, even days, since I last had your luck
But the hours that were minutes just seem like yesterday
And the light peers thought the curtain and what’s left is gone today
Don’t let this moment ever leave your mind
I hear your nagging and complaints all the time
Feels almost just like yesterday
Now I must leave here and move on with my day
Leave what’s left, and move on
I’ll be here when you’re dead and gone
What was preposterous then is now normal today
And your presence haunts me ever since you’ve gone away
The music turns to images as I close my eyes
When I do, I see you all the time
When I open them they seem to vanish
I wish these days would stay as it is
The shy heart that lingers inside of me
Gives me the fear to think of you
Don’t want to leave our bond in the gutter
Please don’t let me lecture, or be out of the loop
When I was shut out of your little group
Locked out forever and my hate grew for you
My world is getting smaller as yours grew in size
Hold on to the memories, and lock out the ones after the fight
You told me just to wait here, I’ll see you soon enough
But it’s been hours, even days, since I last had your luck
But the hours that were minutes just seem like yesterday
And the light peers thought the curtain and what’s left is gone today
