Laying in a coffin, I'm trying it on for size With my recent angst-filled nights, it comes as no surprise Am I mortal--am I replaceable? YES.

LOST- alone, afraid, aware LIBRARY- dark, mysterious, cavernous SURROUNDED- men, ideas, ghosts LABYRINTH- twists, turns, doors AISLE- tall, consuming, never-ending FILLED- cities, dreams, beauty OVERRUNNING- pain, promise, innovation

I miss the way it never was. It was sure great back then I miss the way it never was In a country I've never been.

I float down the street, and scream at the moon I glide through the night air--completely alone The taunting, dark mountains know my name Somehow they know my brain, and my cage .........better than me anyway I float down the street and scream at the stars I float, I'm too tired to walk anymore! And the breeze through the trees reminds me that only the dead leaves are free .........so where does that leave me? I float down the street and scream at myself I'd float my whole life if I thought it would help.

It's dark again baby--dark as hell and the soft crackle of the radio makes it hard to tell If I'm the only man left on earth who thinks or just the thought of a poet who's had too much to drink --and fall brings memories of every human emotion pain, rage, happiness, and commotion

No one ever told me it would end like this Alone here. Just me and my digital kiss. My ideas of the world have just melted away And I’ll stay here in the dark until…someday This message is for all still listening I’ve enjoyed getting to not know you And this is for all those still on my side It’s ok--we don’t have to be real to be alive

My teeth fell out… Into Your hands          and You put them back                                          one by one My blood drained out… Into Your hands           and You gave me yours                                          drop by drop I (am) broken, beaten, bloody                but You find me beautiful Do you love me?                Despite my imperfections? Please make me safe                 hold me.                 hold me.                          Until morning.

The world is pregnant with pain and alas, it has delivered a still-born! and the sky rains down-- With the bodies of babies and the acid tears of the masses-- a people drunk with their own sorrow and blood The darkness is blinding as we all stagger to our deaths But who is this? This dead man that now walks My streets? He who has defiled the sacred order? Only through dying defeated death-- The first to do so! And the whispers began... as we gathered in a frenzy just to catch a glimpse of Hope! --my lips must learn this word again! Now the flowers are growing-- growing between the gravestones

How lonely sits the city that was full of people They are all gone, but I am damned here to pick up the pieces The horrors came in like an old familiar friend Famine, Sickness, Siege, and Sword Rape the daughters of my city—again and again They say that every man is an island… If so, Then mine is destroyed deserted The glory has gone, no more grace or beauty Is this the city that was called the joy of all the earth? Our dancing has been turned to mourning The only feeling left here is the feeling of pain My eyes flow without ceasing I have forgotten even the idea of happiness There is no one to revive my spirit God w
