Dog Eaters

You say

Posted on 07.11.21 under Uncategorized

In a rundown car
We drove so fast and far
From the city lights
Fading in the night

On that dusty road
We heard the roosters crow
Racing towards the morn
Away from insults and the scorn

You say we’re safe at any speed
You say my wounds won’t ever bleed
You say you’ve got just what I need
You say it’s all guaranteed

Trapped at home you thought
that what you sought
Was further on
As a platinum blonde

In my mind I asked
Were you triggered by your past?
Or was it just a random thought
The echo of a gunshot

You say we’re safe at any speed
You say my wounds won’t ever bleed
You say you’ve got just what I need
You say it’s all guaranteed

Warehouse of Dreams

Posted on 07.06.21 under Uncategorized

Blue collars, red hearts, deep dreams…

lyrics

Unconscious machines
In the warehouse of dreams
Fantasy streams
With romantic extremes

We juggled mystery
with unvarnished truth
Our jaded experience
And our forgotten youth

Unconscious machines
In the warehouse of dreams
Fantasy streams
With romantic extremes

Ten years of our misery
Redact it from my heart
We fought over liberty
’til death did us part

Unconscious machines
In the warehouse of dreams
Fantasy streams
With romantic extremes

If it’s a pedigree kitten like this, about $2500 USD…

(Watch the Mirror) Don’t Cry Tomorrow

Posted on 06.27.21 under Uncategorized

Darkness falls on the beach,
Whispered promise in the night
Our hopes take flight
Drunken laughter drifts from the bar
Echoes with free-floating lust
And Fools Gold Dust

Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
There’s no redemption even if you pray

Slave to the pleasures of the purse
Chasing bright and shiny things
we have been cursed
Keeping score in this game of life
Moved your pawn across the board
Ambition is your overlord

(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
There’s no redemption even if you pray

Sleeping for so long I can’t
Answer the morning bell
This morning from hell
Born from darkness, black from white
Meditate until I dream
I’m bathed in the light

(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
Don’t cry tomorrow for what you did today
(Watch the mirror, Watch the mirror)
There’s no redemption even if you pray
