Whiskey Blues

Of course I regret things I’ve done
But never those things I chose not to say
There’s no action I could choose
To cure you of your whiskey blues
Memories can lose their meaning
Though I know it’s true
It hurts
Temporary is ordinary
(Ahhhhh-Ahhhh-Ahhhh)
Your past can only mean so much
Ignoring now just leaves you out of touch
Excuses keep you on the hook
You’d see if you took time to look
Memories can lose their meaning
Though I know it’s true
It hurts
Temporary is ordinary
(Ahhhhh-Ahhhh-Ahhhh)
They say it’s darkest before dawn
But your light shines only if you turn it on
Once you see the glass half full
Redemption becomes possible
Memories can lose their meaning
Though I know it’s true
It hurts
Temporary is ordinary
(Ahhhhh-Ahhhh-Ahhhh)

Swing

The right to breathe isn’t
Guaranteed if your
If your skin looks different
What you say as well as
Someone’s knee can and
Can and will be held against you
Every day another one
Falls prey to them
No remorse and no apology
Leave with pay maybe
Not one day in prison
Corruption is rewarded and encouraged and it comes with a fat pay raise
Some folks say
That there’s no more slaves
But if you’re in chains what’s the difference?
If you don’t break the law
You won’t have trouble
Unless of course your a minority
It’s a game that we
All must play
Though we never agreed to play it
Are we heard?
Barely
Protect and serve?
Spare me
Every year we’re robbed
The least they could do is their fucking job.
Can’t you see that
Society favors
Some of us above others?
Not at all
Are you
Above the law
Cuz you hold a gun and have an attitude
We will not settle
A badge is only metal
A uniform is just clothing
Commuting murder isn’t
Justice served is it?
Thinking they’re above
But in reality they’re just a state sponsored thug

Hey Ted why you being such a dick?
I’m running out of dope and it’s making me sick
Hey Ted why you being such a dick?
I’m running out of dope and it’s making me sick
It’s the 3 a.m. why you calling me?
Can I crash at your pad for a night or three?
Kicked out again man? What’d ya do this time?
Never mind forget it I’ll be just fine
Whoa Ted you’ve really outdone yourself
Took a life worth living and turned it to a living hell
Told us you were cleaning up but I think we were mislead
Now your running all your friends away because you’ve been addicted
Hey Ted I see your back at it again
Withdrawing from society and heroine
Not for long though I’ve seen you with the dope man
Given half a chance you’ll always go for broke man
What I’m doing isn’t cause for alarm
Just connecting the dots on my inner arm
Whoa Ted you’ve really outdone yourself
Took a life worth living and turned it to a living hell
Told us you were cleaning up but I think we were mislead
Now your running all your friends away because you’ve been addicted
Looky here at what the cat dragged in
The monkey on your back’s looking pretty damn thin
Been gone awhile but I’m still here
To find myself I had to disappear
Feeling dizzy and falling down
Side effects from turning my life around
Whoa Ted you’ve really outdone yourself this time
Picked yourself up again learning to walk the line
You told us you were cleaning up and this time it’s true
Now your life is worth living and living looks good on you

Terror Hills

The lights are low but I can’t sleep
Somethings wrong but not with me
They’re coming through but I can’t do a thing
It’s every night that they take me
The next day I can’t recall a thing
But just before they’re back I become afraid
NO!
DON’T TAKE ME!
NOOOOO!
During the day I feel just fine
The trouble starts when day becomes night
As darkness falls the terror sets in
I hear their footsteps outside my door
Can’t move and I can’t take anymore
My heart pounds as they come inside
NO!
DON’T TAKE ME!
NOOOOO!
It’s over quickly or so it seems
Left with owls that haunt my dreams
Sleepless nights and restless days
Finding marks I can’t explain
Cuts and bruises with no pain
What the hell are they doing to me
NO!
DON’T TAKE ME!
NOOOOO!
What they’re doing takes a toll
Sleepless nights drag on my soul
I can’t take feeling so afraid
Am I a bitch cuz that’s news to me
I’m only scared cuz I choose to be
So I’m taking a crowbar to bed with me
Round about three I ready myself
Grab the crowbar off my shelf
Wait until I hear there little footsteps
Grab my weapon and adjust my grip
My whole live was leading up to this
Those fuckers won’t expect this shit
They open the door to come take me
I stand up and start to swing
(Come here you little alien bitch I’m gonna fuck you up
This is for probing me you stupid asshole
This section is for Whitley Strieber
Fuck you fuck you)
I won’t stop till they’re all dead
I hit hard and sweep the leg (my leg)
They try to run but I give chase
I bitch slap his stupid alien face
I chase em back to the the mothership
They’ll wish they never made this trip
I beat their asses on they’re own spaceship
Hop in the cockpit and jack they’re shit
(Give me that fucking space ship you little bitch
I’m driving this fucker
Oh god this was a bad idea
How do you drive a space ship
Can you get a DWI in space?
Fuck)

Breathing In

All the things I say and do
And all the things that I don’t know
A million sounds I don’t want to hear come down on me
Until you came.
Breathing in
Now I’m breathing in
Yeah I’m breathing in
Now I’m breathing in
Everything’s better
Since you came
Now I’m breathing in
Yes I’m breathing in
Lost and found a thousand times
Nothing new and nothing real
But you turned it all around and never asked me
To hold my breath
Breathing in
Now I’m breathing in
Yeah I’m breathing in
Now I’m breathing in
Everything’s better
Since you came
Now I’m breathing in
Yes I’m breathing in
By the time I realized
That for me it was you
You grabbed ahold and won’t like go
But I know now
I don’t want you to
Breathing in
Now I’m breathing in
Yeah I’m breathing in
Now I’m breathing in
Everything’s better
Since you came
Now I’m breathing in
Yes I’m breathing in
