Sitting on useless dawn The head falls off Its cold skeleton While the wailing wall has withered today Your disbelief has shattered What's left of the wreckage Using up my serotonin I've been using it up for years It puts my stomach Into a coma Keeps me walking away These years

Spendin' all my time Makin' up popular sounds When all to see Is the world right and left of me (In a day and age that's too soft to mend ya) (For Heaven's sake Not mine Don't waste The time It's short You'll find It's short)

When all was whole and you were here The pain in my soul was always endeared By all the things that could be seen The leafs dancing wild it comforted me Time centered Too short would rot the lightest day We're made to cry but death it is not shy so can pain partake from grace The weights will come and ways they'll go But never will the night nor the moonlit glow And all is a dream it will float away it seems But decay is just like home But a dream is all we have If a dream is all there is And I can't let it happen again So God Or someone Help me not to pretend Because I Slow move back in time But i can't see you there These things they do unwind without warning to bear Slow moved back in time But I can't seek you there These things they do unwind without fortune to bear

about

Here's a sample of what's to come.. just a selection of old gems that were left behind and moved on from so I could focus on other material. They are all very raw, for better or worse. Enjoy..
