Lyrics
Shiner
Trying to take life like a bruise (and move on)
Throw my hands up in disbelief
Of knowing anything in this goddamned world
Rumor
I know what people say
Don’t give a listen
Know what you do
Know who you are
No Use
Oh sad deadly world
Gorged on hate and blood
Neck-deep drunk with guns
Lost off axis whirls
Sickly human strain
Three kill four kill five
Mindless formless mass
Work for peace in vain
Aces
Tested
All the time
Normal guy
I’m not
Spear in Hand
Hunting jungle lions makes no sense
Like Upton Sinclair
Not so much for trophies
But more out of fear
Like Upton Sinclair
They stalk and maul our future
Fill their lairs with profit
Glut themselves on carcass
By pouncing on the planet
Examined
I studied that black and white photograph
Until I saw it in color
Try as reason might
To live a life that one might like
Until I see it in color
Heaven
Skylight to the clouds
Canopy to the sky
An inner light
Train Wreck
When I look at him
When I look at her
All that I see
Is every bad decision that they’ve made
That’s all I can see
All that I see
What’s in an accident?
A collision of fortunes?
Happenstance, hapless victims?
(Fateful repercussions)
Peals
Deep, dark trumpet calls
In loud concentric rings
Harbingers of darker times
Sounds of shattered wings
Fear on the horizon
Violent vagueness in the voice
Looking Back
I wrote a beautiful poem the other day
Like a Vermeer, it echoed itself
The mirror of mise en abyme
It was about someone else
And their reflections on me
Meter
I plugged a meter with a nickel
In a world where quarters make do
