a beer at AA
My mind once fell apart
Very similar to my heart
But that's how I found art
Then I ripped that too
Damn I am that fool
Sitting in that corner
Slobber and drool
So then I made a friend
Beginning to end
My shadow
Warm tobacco
Man I'm just a wacko
All about being insane
Two halves of a brain
That cope with strain
Raindrops down the window
Just living with the syndrome
Staying in this peace zone
Pleasures' time on loan
Grief bent back groans
Feel that happiness in my bones
I am not on a sick flow
Or a crazy beat
I'm walking down Main Street
Green light and go
Lite bright at the peep show
Sitting at an AA class
Counting coffee grains in my glass
Man how did this happen
A burnout shot out a cannon
Ricochet off the pan into the fire
Slowing from my flat tire
Caused from a live wire
That put me on the high wire
In the sky with sexual desire
Transcend
Descend
Depending on how deep
The deep end is
Sinking in the substance
Abound in the abundance
Partaking in the particles
Up up and away
In the ash tray
Valentines day
With my sultry fiancé
Till death do us apart
Sip
Trip
Clips
Nips from the chills
Or the pills
Nothing hurts if it don't kill
I tell a lie for the morning
And the truth at happy hour
Just the town drunk in the choir
Now bottoms up
Next rounds on me guys
Ahh f*** I'm for the flys
I'm just gonna leave
Catch a breath and breathe
Lemme tell you about love
A yeasty infection
Scabs from rejection
Scars from separation
You think you have walked away
When all that's changed is the scenery
Please be the company to the misery
I wrote in a diary once upon a time
It's just easier to bleed in rhyme
Can't you read the sign
I ain't a poet I'm just a creature of habit
And sometimes it's the habit that's the creature
But in more ways its the teacher
Burning your furniture
The character in your dreams picture
Straight into this mixture
Now take a sip off this bottle
Taste every broken promise
Happy memory
Heart ache
Pleasure
Pain
All five senses
In all past tenses
The green grass past the fence
Now my emotions all over the place
I'm in between a rock and a hard spot
In five k race
Running circles in my head
Sleeping with the hole in my bed
And you know what it said?
You're mislead, misread and seeing your own red
Stop it
Drop it
Chop it
Close up shop
Pop a soda pop
Watch the unset sunset
Set on the horizons
Live life kid
