Spider Web

tricked you into being here
Practiced words that weren’t sincere
Concocted a truly deceitful tale
Carefully crafted not to fail 
tightly woven razor sharp barbwire
Mouth sewn shut keeps you quiet 
Patiently weaved a elaborate web 
when you move stings your skin
Squirm fight this all you want
Resisting just makes this more fun
The belief in goodness of mankind
Consider this a warning sign
Evil consists in a opposite form
The sweetest smile can do you harm

Paper Moon

once a brilliantly lit paper moon
It’s light reflected golden ethereal hues
radiates a supernatural gossamer tone
Its rare luminous angelic halo like glow 
jealous planets measured and conspired
subdued the awe it inspired 
angry and bitter stellar constellations
Muted it’s colors without hesitation 
  cosmic atmospheric thunderstorms 
flare up and begin to swarm
spheres overshadowed it with darkness 
satellites circulate dangerously around it
galaxies orchestrate and compose 
melodic metered harmonic notes
the universe desperate for attention 
fails to outshine or gain affection
the stars with fierce loyalty
persuaded by the moons beauty

The confessions of Four

He introduced himself as Four
Had certain bad deeds to answer for
I have a confession i need to make
To right the wrongs of my mistakes
My sins are numbered by my name 
dark secrets I’ve held and soley claim
One Sunday morning a plot unfolds
Took a life to save her soul
The second occurred at 21
A bar several beers and a gun
Number three a damaging lie
Hurt many close friends of mine
The fourth accused as a thief 
Charged convicted and found guilty
Prayed repented and asked for forgiveness 
Meditated deeply and contemplated
Searched endless for this very moment 
For gods approval and atonement

White Squall

Dragged along my broken shore
Swallowed by their waves once more
Undressed, sedated, restrained to a bed 
"We want to help you" they calmly said

Crimes against my soul I cried!
There is no pill to ease this mind
I stare unaware drugged confused 
My fractured mind had come unglued
Broken shattered was the wall 
That held back my White Squall

And while it came crashing in
In pieces, shards all worn thin 
I couldn't see my tide was high 
Ready to break at a moments time

Years and years of wear and tear
A cracked formed and could not bare
One more assault against my soul
It all caved in, I lost control 

Pretty Cage

Lightning struck her darkened soul
So the story now unfolds
Can I come out of my cage she says
To the voice up there in thread
I swear you are beautiful and mean
But I love the way you look at me
I hold your anger and kiss your rage
You lock me in this pretty cage
A tiny ray of sun casts thin
Come closer and I'll let you in
I dare not blink or cringe my eye
So not to miss a ounce of light 
And in this place I have been so long
A soft voice sings a beautiful lonely song 
I dream of past sun lit days
Then wake up in his black space

Vindictive Vacation

I haven't found the way to heaven
And I don't know who my friends are
So I peeled away my victims 
Just to see them all unravel
These others try to take me over
Use my body for their pleasure 
But I have a plan to get rid of them
I think it's time I start my engine
And kick up some dust and gravel
Just where did all those f@$kers go?
Maybe down to Mexico...
Maybe  a visit to these "friends" of mine
I'll pay them back for their so called time
I'll take a gun and some amunitition
Just in case they fail to listen
Of course poison is another way 
To kill them all and walk away
I'll buy them all a round of drinks
Even wish them happy things
I will smile and wave as they go down 
Then drive away to another town....

The Premeditated Destruction Of It

I tried to kill it 
But if came back to life
I tried to choke it
But it refused to die
I took my car and ran it over
But it just gave  me a smile
I tried to drown it
But it kept on breathing
I left it dying
But it went back to being
I pushed it in front of a moving train
But no luck as of yet, it still remains 
One time I locked it in a room that had no door
But it managed to escape and punish me some more
I left it in the middle of nowhere
But it refused to get lost
I pushed it down a flight of stairs
But that only pissed it off
I poured gasoline on it and lit a match
But it wouldn’t burn and proceeded to laugh
I tired to convince it, it doesn't exist 
It didn’t believe me, then cruely hissed
I tried to bury it deep underground
But it dug a way out thru a hole it found
I tried to shoot it in the chest
But of course it was wearing a bulletproof vest
My list of premeditated plans of the destruction of "it"
Has not gone well, in fact the opposite! 

4 Star Cd Whore

Little four star CD whore
Jesus been divorced before 
She's a jewel cave solar day
In the middle of a tidle wave

She's glaring at the antichrist 
He's using faded pick up lines
She's just another drama queen
Trying to steal another scene

Is it your New Orleans drunken feeling?
Is it crawling up the dirty ceiling?
Are you small in her opinion?
Did she already make her decision?

She will leave you broken hearted
You won't even know she departed
Took off while you were asleep
She was never yours to keep

You wake up in your cheap motel 
Headache, hungover, alone as hell
No money, no car, no credit cards
Just pain and hurt and some deep scars
