Cry down our eyes America - cry down our eyes

Honor has drowned upon our shores

So many political lies

Cry down our eyes

Look past your gaze of love

Past the pretty eyes and those pretty thighs

Standing like twin towers meeting at heated ends

Melting into her jet steam

'Unwanted' Ramblings (Disconnection).

Here I am stood and here I stand
In an empty room a bottle drunk dry hangs loose in my hand
The one I used to wash away the pieces of these broken plans.
And the cigarettes
Well they litter the wooden floor
The packet lies

The hot urine stench in the hall burns my nostrils harsher than the day before.

I press down and step back into the fresh air away from the hobo corner.

I wait for a year while I watch the wind blow the clouds above me.

 

Bing!

The rain woke me up today...

Pounding at my window slanted sideways trying to get in through the seal.

The deep swelling of my anger building repulsed that I could not shut off this alarm clock.

This fucking wake

Dreams

Liquid living dreams black matte broke sky

Dead alive sleeping dreaming falling down

Heartless and cold soulless and lost

Wandering in liquid rain cold

Empty cracked broken shattered

Fifteen percent
thats what they say
is the energy you have 
to live the day
when someone has ripped your heart away-

I wonder how they came upon that math?

How did they calculate what you'd have left?

Did they use graphs to devise that sum

or just counted their fingers and thumbs?

A dark smoky rain cloud caught fire under the sky burning down into your eyes

Searing steam rose from my stranded earth as you lifted me up from my lies

I remember well that

I had yet another psychotic slip.

My mind has swollen shut.

As the climate collapses

My existence expands.

I gnaw at a crazed foot

Of healthy solitude

That counts once no twice no three!

Take my hand...No wait!

My core.

This medicine is killing

Four drawers open.

Two remain shut.

A bottle on top nearly empty.

A thirsty man to drink a plenty.

Yet through eyes unknown

To you fuck or to I.

A faulty breath to breathe.

Another question of why?

To why you list another day?

To why you feel damned dismay?

A quaint matchbox that holds
