Don’t Breathe

I don’t breathe the air around me, or around you
I only swallow all that comes my way
All the wishes and the drops of rain
Bloodied sun slakes my thirst
Burns the will within
The will to crumble and the vision of tomorrow
Live on in the desire to embrace new reality

An ounce of gold
And the greed of a new generation
Will sex up the appetite for my show
Turn inside out, upside down
Search the inner for the outer
And get confused as the school
Will look like unknown little fishes
That swims in search of hope

I hate to love for fear of turning it ugly
Seeking solace in the pain of a new generation
And bartered standards of hypocritical reality
I fake it, I fake it
I always did, I always will
Teach me how to hate
And I know I will fall in love…

Write Me

You might have your way of letting words flow
But I go only go by the language I know
I am not about to make amends
About all that I don’t understand
And I see no wrong in pushing you away
Thinking it’s all a waste of time
Caricatures abound in my head
Of foolish notions and ideas that break
Creaking and reeking with the stench of the dead
Blood let and let loose
Proverbial fantasies to boot
And the lack of rescue when all hope is gone
Alive, awake, broken and bored


“He was a rock n roll messiah, she was known for her childcare, the truth is gonna give up the world, if you can give up the stage” – Edward Kowalczyk

From Somewhere

Everybody comes here from somewhere
Everybody here is not a stranger
Maybe not a friend, but not a foe
Not one to rain on your days
As you find your way out of that haze
Of memories that lay claim
Over undying bounties of youth
Yours, mine, theirs

Right now it doesn’t matter who is the enemy
Before you, before me
Your freedom will not be stolen
Mirth will share with
Tears as they will cry
Just another from a you
To a me on the other side
Transform, transport, separate, support

Couldn’t possibly be good
Not to have a reason not to
Chair to sit or a door to open
When the fire will sear
The truth into the seam
Of another miracle
Sound of this voice
Will make a wish
That we and me were in it together
