Exposed to a brand new pose Have a witty quote Always writ by wrote Pushed off till I hit dry land Tore up my plans With aristocratic hands Dead tired of a dead dog's eye Rattling a stick In a swill bucket Climb stairs just to put on airs Or tear up my plans With aristocratic hands

Nomads 03:37
I don't like to put stock in Wandering bronze age nomads Thinking with just their gonads Better run through the desert Hallucination, heat stroke Uncouth saber-tooth turncoat Grip the cord that binds Bleed into my eyes It comes as no surprise In time I don't like the sounds I hear The cold reproach of voices Recounting piss-poor choices Better go be constructive Shout at a glassen ashtray If it makes you feel more sane Grip the cord that binds Bleed into my eyes It comes as no surprise In time

Snatching defeat From jaws of victory The joys of misery Can make your life complete Here is a lesson that I own I am here with you while I am alone Winter may come only never to go I must remain made of stone Wandering through The garden of lost youth The crush and solitude The dark, unkempt, imbued Here is a lesson that I own I am here with you while I am alone Winter may come only never to go I must remain made of stone

Meander 05:20
Pretend you're me Make a command decision Locate the leak Plug it up with precision This is a handshake This is a not-so-fond farewell Nobody likes someone who's always fake I'll see you burn in hell Up periscope Go give yourself a gander Pretend there's hope And let your thoughts meander This is a handshake This is a not-so-fond farewell Nobody likes someone who's always fake I'll see you burn in hell Well since the advent of quill and pen I've written many sweet sentiments To those I resent Pretend you're me Make a command decision Locate the leak Plug it up with precision This is a handshake This is a not-so-fond farewell Nobody likes someone who's always fake I'll see you burn in hell I'll see you down in hell

At my best The lonesome, crowded west Has put me to the test If I must confess Fever dream Cut up, then received As a cold witch's teat By which to cut teeth Watching the spirit chained to a post Do you think you could give up the ghost You love the most Severing the link between guest and host Brassy eyed On gorge and mountain range From a bookend of meaningless Thoughts, strayed and strange Decomposed On some memorial wall Three feet deep underneath Never felt so tall Watching the spirit go up in smoke You laugh but you don't get the joke Simply misspoke Guest and host were one but now they're broke
