Rain Rain Come Again For Today

My it is a beautiful rain
All along the broadened grey
And the sun just can't stain
The dreariness of a great day
The people all come to life
To dance in the great water
And wash away all the strife
Until the sun brings back the slaughter

Forgive Us

Life is beyond fact, fantasy or fiction
And lying makes the threat very real
But what are we without conviction
Just ordinary people without appeal
Now we shall lose our taste and touch
For we can't keep refusing the rights
Weaknesses hold us up like a crutch
Open your eyes before we lose the light

Pain Chapter 5 Verse 4

I am the child without a father
Who will help me become a man
Will anyone even want to bother
Who will help me with all my plans
You were so alone when you left
I still cry when I hear a bell chime
Most didn't noticed but we all wept
Your estranged daughter found time
To come and say her last goodbyes
She's pretty this new sister of mine
She has your smile and even your eyes
And don't worry mom will be fine
Who will I turn to for the answers
I know I am 28 but I am still lost
When will we have a cure for cancer
I'll make you proud no matter the cost

Pain Chapter 5 Verse 3

My time is a drain and I'm in the slow drip
One where I and my sanity has lost its grip
We shout a kiss and cry out to no avail
I bleed without color and breathe in hell
I dream for just a minute without drama
But I know I'm hurt and in some real trauma
Today doctors don't get paid in dreams
And by nightfall I lead the scream regime
So I light the pipe and ignite the green rights
And I await my last rites as I take in the blight

Pain Chapter 5 Verse 2

Everything is dead now but the pain
All thought is vanquished by the flame
Its a steady pounding, eye gouging thud
I drift alone inside of this painful flood
People are noticing and I am so tired
I feel so out of date like I am expired
No one can explain this or my poor sight
And now I find my step dad died last night

Pain Chapter 5 Verse 1

Like a jagged knife in my chest
My girl has an unkind request
She wants me to give up dope
Quit all drugs and live on hope
Icy sweat trickles down my spine
If I live by the rules she'll be mine
Or live like swine without my girl
Well now do I twirl, whirl or hurl

Pain Chapter 4 Verse 5

I love her in every possibly way
She is funny, smart and a little fey
We've dated a couple of season's
And my emotions have no reason
But the pain in my head won't cease
And God has no plans of release
I snort meth and drink with the bulls
She knows the trigger she has to pull
And she is capable but not quite ready
For our relationship is new and unsteady
She loves me too and hates the damn gun
But she knows something has to be done

Pain Chapter 4 Verse 4

I have lived through many years of abuse
Smoked the finest kill to chill the blues
And still the dreaded memories let loose
Live or die is the mantra I had to choose
There's a pain in my head and its too much
Maybe death is finally giving me his soft touch
I met a goddess and I only want to praise her
My eyes have turned bad for she is just a blur
 I like her but my head is about to hemorrhage
She is so cute and that gives her all the leverage
I'm tired all the time and my eyes are about to pop
I got high to cope but now I want the pain to stop
I went out with her and she gave me a kiss
My past vaporized and in her I know only bliss

To Love or Not To Love

I don't know why
She can only mention love at midnight
Or where she wonders off to in the twilight
But the birds and the bees can never teach
How to touch the heart that's out of reach
I don't know why
She shy's away when I try to hold her tight
Or why her heart saddens before morning light
But the birds and the bees only chirp and hum
And no matter how much I try we never become
I don't know why
She believes in the danger of love at first sight
Or what I can do to make everything alright
But the birds and the bees will buzz and sing
And our love will flourish or just be a fling

A Wild Tale of Courage

Now and then freedom is bought with a bang
And like I said before son AWOL is treason
Semper Fidelis do or die but my men will not hang
So turning from the sea and the madness of reason
I find a new position perched high upon a cliff
And my M1903 A4 Springfield is their best hope
I quoted the general orders especially the fifth
I see my target through the cross hairs of my scope
On three the trigger will pull and the blood will run
My boys will react and our hands will drip the gore
But my Marines will make it home to see their sons
For we are men and we are good to the corps

Mother

The first person I learned to trust
Baby boy cloths only for I was a must
But the sailor suit was a little unjust
You gave me love when I was in the pits
Even when I acted like a little shit
You have always been there for me
And nothing can compare with thee
Thanks for not naming me Bob or Tom
Davids cool and I love you mom

Pain Chapter 4 Verse 4

Austina

My lovely wife is like fine art
With the voice of a golden lark
She spoke and touched my heart
And my soul came alive with a spark
Her caramel eyes expose my frailty
And kindness is always upon her face
She gives all of herself with subtlety
With her I have found my saving grace

Pain Chapter 4 Verse 3

I wake up in a cold hard sweat
Memories cling to me like death
Free from hell but not the threat
That lives in the lie of your breath
Years later I can still feel the bruises
Hardly worth it is the culprits excuses
Hope is forsaken within my own sleep
The demons come when I count sheep

Pain Chapter 4 Verse 2

I burn through lovers like trash
And my heart is the color of ash
My soul flickers with a tiny flame
I'm in love with drugs and shame
I take the knife and dream in red
But the cowards fear is never dead
Its the lying smile of a sick lamb
Only God knows I am truly a scam

Pain Chapter 4 Verse 1

It has been more than a bad night
Sixteen years since I seen the man
I thought by now he'd outgrown his plight
A life changed by the loss of his clan
I excepted all of his grand apologies
I even allowed myself to shake his hand
For me there is no method of psychology
Or medicine that can cure the unplanned
I gave him the words he wanted to hear
From son to father with little devotion
All those many years cannot disappear
And I am a vast array of inhuman emotion
Another sixteen years without a bother
This time it was my choice to be a man
I always hurt and he is still not my father

Taste the Drip

I'm a maddened man in twisted skin
I Tossed the plan with a silver grin
When and Where and Why and What
Lost hope that wants to love the cut
Wanting to sink my teeth deep within
If only one could get lost in the spin
What and Where and Why and When
To bloody digest the live shit of sin

A Dead Mans Plea

I felt I would always hold on
Change my life before it was gone
So I carry my thirty years of scars
Like a pocket full of silver stars
And its not your fault but mine
For the sins I left behind
And I've lost all but sunshine
But its been one more good time
And just before my bell could chime
Lets stop thinking about my crime
Yes I have a terrible brain tumor
I am not funny but full of ill humor
And its not your fault but mine
For the sins I left behind
And I've lost all but sunshine
But its been one more good time
Please stop your crying my dear
For your faith bleeds out in tears
I love you and I can beat their odds
For our faith is strongest in God
And its not your fault but mine
For the sins I left behind
And I've lost all but sunshine
But its been one more good time
If the worst is to happen God I pray thee
Take the heart of my wife and set it free
That she may find joy in another's arms
And her life be long and without harm
And its not your fault but mine
For the sins I left behind
And I've lost all but sunshine
But its been one more good time
