about

This was one of the very first songs that I ever wrote. Its been re-tooled a little bit here and there. It has lots of cool stuff worth sharing - but I'm not sure if I'll ever fully produce it for a polished release. Time will tell.

Its about life's rising and falling. A few of the difficult things that have happened to me in life. . .

lyrics

Verse 1
The pool of tears that I’m wading in - keeps on getting deeper
The ties are being cut - on what I thought was a keeper
Kneeling on my stand – crawl – sit - run
Letting out these sour feelings tastes a bit like fun
I shouldn’t get none - I’m stunned and full of empty promise
I’m cold – I’m broken - my innocence is smokin
I keep pokin at the smoldering dead ashes
Like oceans of fear when life boats are rationed
I hope it crashes and floods drown the masses
But I’m the captain never looking for a fight
Ready to ignite to the heat of white light
Night time is full of rain and shade
Who’s got it made? The glade fades into the grays
I should have stayed to see if I got paid
But I’m tired and jaded - ready to give in
If I cash in my chips - is that such a sin?

Chorus
Gonna die again fading farther from the master plan
Think I’m gonna crash gonna burn coulda ran quick
Shoulda waited longer before I thought to taste it
Intuition’s wrong, intuition’s wasted

Verse 2
The yellow light flashes as my vehicle aproaches
The air gets colder as the evil it encroaches
There’s a house party pumpin and the path is lookin clear
Feelin in my being hiding farthest from fear
The doorknob turns – with no creakin on the hinges
As the lights go dim I find I’ve found the darker of the fringes
Dusted - - surroundings can’t be trusted
Rusted - - the ladder up is busted
Phase shift vision weak in a blurry blanket haze
Web glimmer hypnotist shifting mist to hardened ground
Wrists kissed with poisoned lips now mine can’t make a sound
Burning – comfounded - - death bed in the making
Streaming lies compound the truth my brain it must be faking
Long legs, four pair ready to begin
Next of kin? You’re kidding right? There’s no body in the tin…
Next of kin? You’re kidding right? There’s no body in the tin…

Take a step back and FEEL me burn…
Solo

Verse 3
At the bottom of the underworld - no rhythm – no motion
Altogether lost with fermented grain potion
With notion of suicide there’s a light that keeps me flowin
I stumble on through darkness never knowin where I’m goin
Blown motor in my car homeless with no destiny
Expelled, last in my class with a rush of crushed tenacity
A blast from the past cast at terminal velocity
My dad caught a bullet from a hand in my family
My brother lost his life like the hand that he was gambling
Rambling mis-handling trampled by the whack shoes
Track a lack of progress with the money that I’m owin you
This trigger has a safety called this flowin that I’m showin you
Survivin quite clearly on a marginal basis
sewin my oats to see the look on upon their faces
The flames scream hotter every time I feel them burn
But I know I’m getting stronger every time that I return
