=Mind Nuts Heart Screws=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the day of my birth,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To eleven years past,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I find that I have not liven,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every day to it&amp;#039;s last...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From the day of my awakening,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now 8 years past,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stand as a young man,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With but one spell to cast.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A curse to the world,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I beg to give you all,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the end of my blade,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Death will let me make the call.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spinning like the tornado,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Into your heart,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ripping away,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Towards another victim I start...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&amp;#039;s not like I&amp;#039;m crazy,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nor am I seeking insane...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It&amp;#039;s that the whole world&amp;#039;s forgotten,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The value of pain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so I stab, I thrust and slice,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cutting through your flesh,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Only to find a mechanical device...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All these time...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it all makes sense...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I was a human amongst machines,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A wicked grin meets my face,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As no other pleasure could suffice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Realization blooms,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My soul erupts with purity...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I swim with the river,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing I never really...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lost my sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Song: Seeking A Bronco=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Strumming, a guitar not mine,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four strings alone, I know, so please be kind&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;m not, an artist,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&amp;#039;m just young and a little pist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alone in my room,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A flower, that&amp;#039;ll never bloom,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
their feelings, insincere,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
my heart, full of fear&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but every time I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I cry,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I die,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
inside,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
yet still,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every girl I find,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the number one girl on my mind,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she, is the one,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and the one after her will be the one,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
after she finds,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
that I have lost my mind,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tend to hurt inside,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
because she seeks someone else to ride&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but every time I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I cry,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I die,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
inside,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
yet still,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Notes, can only last so long,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
then you have to write a new song,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and with that, I say so long.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
=Misery In Ignorance=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You came home last night,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I suspect you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your strap was down,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I suspect you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yesterday you wore a smile,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sheltering your ugly face.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You were beautiful once…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The smile made it better,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now I’ve lost the taste,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and I wish the trash would take itself out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I love you for three reasons,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two of them are worth a lot of money.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I think it’s time to leave,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Are you going to pay the taxi man?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know you have no money,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet you get off the charge every time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now how do you do that?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
11 Months, and two days…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t think I will search for another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’re all the same… right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would write love poems for you,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For women...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wonder how long you would stick around,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three days? Maybe four?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess I’ll have to keep on loving your body,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And avoiding your mind, one in… everyone.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=Loving Risk=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She took her, she used her,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She abused and mistreated her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I gave her the ticket to my metal ride,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she pushed so hard, she drained it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her sticky hands, on her beautiful surface,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her unsteady foot, to the stable floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I swing left and right, she does not care,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I tell her it scares me, she does not care.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I gave her the ticket, I gave her my key,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
she took my dear sweet red for a trip,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am left behind to mend the unseen damage,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am left behind only to hug her later, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
happy it was not worse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=Feeling Fine=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I sit here, in my chair, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
not wondering, not hoping, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
not dreaming, only writing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I could write a poem about love, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
about anger, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
about issues that I have never thought of before… &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but I could…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t want to try today, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t feel like feeling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I favor the presence of emptiness filled with foam. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least I’m warm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will I die tomorrow? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will my car give out in the middle of the highway? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The now does not care… &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
for now, I am fine.&lt;br /&gt;

=Jerk The Jerk=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every time I look in your face,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your eyes are dead,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You don’t care for me,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so I leave,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While you turn back,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And flip on the TV.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I walk to the deli,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the man looks down on me,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He treats me with a frown,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He looks away,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s as if I’m last night’s whore…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess I’ll forget to pay.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The world seems to be turning,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I want to go with the flow,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it turns the opposite way,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so I walk in circles,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Smiling like it’s summer,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet I’m being swallowed by snow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I come home and you’re still here,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Staring at the screen,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I say there’s dinner,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then you’ll care,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But instead I see your hand,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As if I’ll serve you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s like every time I try,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m wrong.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the last day I cried…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m just a ghost now.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You’re a cripple,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or so you act like it,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I’m the mother’s breast,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s only there for when you want to…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just flip back on the TV.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=Ivory Slugs=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From Bones to Bullets&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I lost my first tooth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now my face hurts a little...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I guess…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I lost my tooth cause I bit my dad…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…when he tried to hit my mom.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She doesn’t need to hurt like I do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five Years&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I found out I was the best student in class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone glares at me because of it though..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t care...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m the best student.. some say it’s because I’m smart,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the truth is I Cheat at everything I do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks to the internet...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five Years&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I got my first car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The engine tends to mutter as if it’s dying though...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It still runs… right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I “o w n” this car because some other guy didn’t want it bad enough…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I put the gun in his face, a ll he did was ruin these seats.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bastard…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five Years&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I was arrested for the first time…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today I was a lmost a rich man…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If that security guard wouldn’t have pulled out his gun,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wish I could say it was a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Poor tellers…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was his fault…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I sit in this cell because five people are dead…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’ve committed the largest felony in the state they say…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All because I wanted some money,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They say a lot of things.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At least I’m alive…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now I wish I were dead...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Until Death&lt;br /&gt;

=Six Golden Towers=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking up, I see a man,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pains past from before,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet blood still soaks my hands.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I walk into a meadow,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A place where I do not belong,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seeking out my own crescendo,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To complete my life’s song.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I fall into the flowers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this land beyond all seas,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surrounded by golden towers,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A paradise, devoid of disease.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No one is here to love my face,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For I seek none to fuel this shine,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel divine in this enchanted place,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One day to hold my name as a sign. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight I slowly close my eyes,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beneath the sky of blue and gray,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blinded by my twisted desire,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A mirage no doctor can take away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Waking in a place I know too well,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Screams surrounding every inch of my mind,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The battle for heaven bringing on this hell,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The war sought out by my own man of kind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’ve lost an eye and the other brings on tears,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every day I cry, trying to avoid inevitable fears,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I stand today, as a man, fighting the devils hold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Running to the field, random commands I find,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ignoring the general, I pull my pistol out of its bind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6 Bullets a round, head shots the only target I desire,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A target found, he drops to the ground,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I shoot every demon crawling out of the fire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fighting for a cause I hemorrhage,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hoping one day I can live my dream,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Singing my war chant I rage,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The angels begin to fall, allied to my team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A demon calls me into the flames,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taunting me, haunting me, but I won’t play his games,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those who die in this war lose there souls trapped in hell forever,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Demons demand we give up, screaming back I yell “Never!”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fighting till the last flame burns out,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In victory chants I shriek and shout,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking around I see not a heart beats but still,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And so I walk into the future,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beyond the corpse-covered hill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=Zero Eleven Three=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m not a violent person&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes I think violently though&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I asked someone about a thought I had&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it made me insane&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They said “Yes” So I smiled&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now I think… Wouldn&amp;#039;t it be funny?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What if I said... “You’re next”?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Would they laugh, or cry?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now my hand hurts,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From pressing too hard on this paper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If anything is insane,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standards of unnecessary pain is.&lt;br /&gt;

=Crutches In A Car Crash=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They’re hurting me, I need my pills, always,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Help me! So many around, but to them I am futile, please,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They’re in cold shadows, still ignoring my cries, falling,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My mistake, the memory is killing me now, forgive,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looking at the others, I wonder why I don’t just jump, down,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pains, they’re so easy to get rid of, my legs, too young to feel this fragile, these,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fall I fear, maybe I will roll, maybe I will just slide, steep,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel… I feel empty… something holds me back, weak,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hollow, I’m bound to fall through if I don’t walk off now, stairs,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Weakened, where will I land? Impact… I break everything, knees,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Is it best to write... when you’re tired..? ...? ...?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is... it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My eyes want to close... my mind wants to give...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is it is it is it? Sleepiness, temporary insanity?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My objective... to wink, shutting to cover at least one more hour...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And after that, maybe again... again...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Can you judge a man by the... the... the...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forget it...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maybe I should just sleep...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know I’m toasty... why so tired from that... aaa...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each blink flirts more with the final bound... what if I pass out!?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will the glow of my screen wake me with explosive screams?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
No... no... no... I’m just tired.&lt;br /&gt;

=He Says He&amp;#039;s Blue=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tao my wire, split it in two,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eat the flames, as they cross your eyes…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Take away the force and make it your own…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Or do what he says… he says he’s blue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Find a fact in a lie, and everyone will tell a truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=The Noise=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The brass hurts my ears…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the tones love my core…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hurting me, but trying to sound good…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I let them in… siding with the purest grace…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Covered in noise.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bursts of power, audio fuels my soul…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eating away at constriction…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Breaking the chains…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I live for the feeling…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I fall to my knees,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I will ask for more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the noise finds my skull…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let the blood flow free…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Let the noise flow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=Don&amp;#039;t Forget To Fall=&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Never forget the fact in it all…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your heart could literally slap the wall…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That dirty wall.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomorrow we could all just drop…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dead to the floor…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That dirty floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many seem to think of life as default…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But it’s only here for those who are lucky enough…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to die… just yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I look for a meaning… something to pull me through…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the reasoning shows up… before my eyes…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the contrary to matters… matter… mattering…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meaning is nearly meaningless…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As up is nearly down, and you shouldn’t argue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the truth is what you see it… &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I see the truth as lies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Bring me down from cloud… cloud four three two puff…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I want to fall through the cream… into the dust…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sink away as the grass folds over my eyes…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m living… loving… breathless below…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under the middle day’s sun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Swept into the sea… cool to my skin…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am paralyzed and loving it…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Down here… feeling so deep inside…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Letting the creatures grow on me,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I fall further into my destiny…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dark, the cold…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And yet I feel so warm… pure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It cools my mind it warms my soul…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sliding through the cracks of her heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Smooth soil, slides across my face…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Smiling as I go.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper, deeper… into the core of our home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it’s cold… as I am destroyed by her force…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Loving, living, lying in death… at this depth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best thing about my life was they way I left…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’m gone now… but at least I touched the womb… once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
One time I tried… to die… to live… to be…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One time I… I… I was… in a life…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One not my own…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One will alone… something I could never… ever… own…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Two… two minds…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I felt it all fall away, and now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now… I’m left here…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And now… I’m left behind… alone again… all again…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One… One… One…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One… One… Time…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I don’t know…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why am I alone?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because you are…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where am I going?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Forward… Backward…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It does not matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When will I get there..?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I hope… soon.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I really could…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would eat a mountain…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really would…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I should bury my desires…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I really should…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For you…&lt;br /&gt;
