Repeat

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Razor shards of truth pave the straight road to apples
Find the angel to cut your throat and free your spirit
Take pills to drown your grin
Take the lord’s name in vain
Curse the name, the word, the three horsemen of Hell
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Spill missed opportunities on the air
Wax the soul of sin to polish away the cardboard
Break [...]

Wind

Friday, February 29th, 2008

Blow me away
Carry me from my life
Quell the hellfire of my heart
That burns my soul to a crisp
Lift me on this wind that stinks of rotting flesh
Smelling of fetid desires, rotten with disuse
Take me away on the Valkyrie
Wipe my mind clean
The icy air must scour my thoughts
Scatter them far away where they won’t trouble me
Again
Make [...]

River

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

River of hope
Cutting through a brown field of despair
I want to rip off my clothing and
Swim naked and free and careless
But the shackles and shadows of my former life
Keep me here in pain and solitude.
And it’s impossible to cast them off so I
Swandive
With the chains
And they melt.

Romantic—Angel Gabriel

A song by my ex in LA. http://myspace.com/gabrielspace

I wanna bring you flowers to your door
And serenade you like a troubadour
I wanna get all fuzzy and traditional
I wanna step outside my comfort zone
Where I am safe but still remain alone
I wanna take a chance and get emotional
And I know
How I feel
Yes I know
How I feel
I want
To [...]

No One Else Around—Angel Gabriel

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

A song by my ex in LA. http://myspace.com/gabrielspace

The running late
The traffic rush
The endless day
That gets too much
I shut down
The long delays
The waiting lines
The men in grey
The flashing signs
That spin round
They fade away..
When life gets crazy
I close my eyes
And I think of you
And my heart is quiet
Now there’s no-one else around
When I get shaky
I go inside
And [...]

I’ll Catch You—Get Up Kids

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

From Something to Write Home About
can you sleep as the sound hits your ears one at a time?
an unspoken balance here,
unabridged for so many years
that i should stare at receivers to receive her isn’t fair
don’t worry i’ll catch you
don’t ever worry
your arms in mine, anytime
i wouldn’t trade anything
you’re still my everything
to my surprise, before [...]

New Life

Sunday, February 10th, 2008

Colden Harold Friedman. Colden Harold Friedman. Colden Harold Friedman. I keep repeating his name to myself to make him more real. I’ve seen pictures, talked to the proud parents, but he’s still just an abstract concept to me. On the evening of February 7th, my best friend’s wife gave birth to a beautiful baby boy [...]

Fly

Friday, February 8th, 2008

Fly me away to the life I knew
Fly me on steel wings carrying me
Suture my wounds with threads of fire
And cut me in two with blades of bronze
Back to the life that doesn’t exist
To the people who have forgotten me
Back to a place I once loved
A place I’ll never have again
I need to return but [...]

Find

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

To find a way to live without you is
To try to put the snow back in the sky
To find a way to live without you is
To stop the rain in the air
To find a way to live without you is
To tell the sun not to shine
To find a way to live without you is
To make [...]

Pieces about my life and other thoughts, for better or for worse. Mostly for worse.
