No matter where you go, pick any corner of the world
There's one thing I know, There's only four types of girls
Either For now, for later, for ever or forget it
But If she's any three of the, for then you'll probably regret it

For now comes and goes
for later will ease your woes
for get it never shows
But when forever is here everybody knows

There's no such thing as setting standards too hig
for when forever appears catches everybody's eye
I can't wait til they send her to boat
And I hope its always raining
she keeps practicing on me
God knows I hate unpaid training
When she leaves I'll take that flag
Wash my car, use it as a rag
when she

WAITING FOR WAR
I told my wife over coffee that she needed a hobby
I told her I thought she needed a change
When I came home from work she said she did something that might sound strange
Now she's always whining and complaining
Yelling at the top of her lungs
Get over here now and you better start your explaining
How 'bout where you been and what you done
Ever since she joined the reserves Army
Ever since she enlisted as a reserve
All we've been doing is fighting
And I think the neighbors have heard every word
I can't wait til they send her to bootcamp
And I hope it's always raining
'Cause she keeps practicing on me
God knows I hate [?] unpaid training
When she leaves I'll take that flag
Wash my car, use it as a rag
When she gets home [?] no telling what's in store
But she's not leaving soon without any war
Well There's no one to fight
So we still do battle every night
As I'm on my knees
I've never dreamed this is what I'm dreaming for
I pray that when I awake
I'll get out of bed and [?] there'll be a war

---

PARK THE CAR
I find my religion in the basement of churches
Never mind a few
Where I'm from can only be heard
The letter R can only be heard
In the beginning of a words I have
The tourists always say it sounds so absurd
[?]
I sit reminiscing it all
Go ahead and park the car at Harvard yard
Make your own alphabet it's not that hard
Something above myself can set me free
You can only tell what you're really worth
After you realize you're not the center of the earth
The sun does not rise for you
No matter how much you want it to
Gravity was made for many reasons
Something about the cream, and the moon,
And the changing of the seasons
Maybe be true

---

Alison's Airplane
I find my religion in the basement of churches
Never mind a few
Here I sit trying to learn from my mistakes
God knows I've made a few
If you've made as many as I have
Here I sit reminiscing it all
Biding my time by reading slogans on the wall
A higher power is what I need
Something above myself can set me free
You can only tell what you're really worth
After you realize you're not the center of the earth
The sun does not rise for you
No matter how much you want it to
Gravity was made for many reasons
Something about the ocean, the moon,
And the changing of the seasons
It may be true that it pulls down you down
But to walk the road ahead
First your feet must meet the ground
Then the rest is up to you
Use your better judgement if you want to
If you choose to walk back down from the road
from which you came
Don't point any fingers at me
Those fingers of blame

---

Alison told me she had an airplane
Of course I didn't believe it
So I asked her to teach me to fly
She told me I couldn't see it
The airplanes inside pears
You want to go for a ride?
At the time I didn't know what she meant
Now I realize Alison's Airplane is heaven scent
Vanish into thin air
Just another mystery
A puzzle noone can solve
First I am there
And then I dissolve

---

SHADOW OF SMOKE
Just a shadow of smoke
That's how I appear
Try to reach out and touch me
what you see dissapears

No living soul can reache me
first you see my face
Then gone without a trace
Vanish into thin air

Just another mystery
A puzzle noone can solve
first I am there
And then I dissolve

Just a castle of sand
Before the tide comes to me
And after a warm embrace
Carries me back to the sea

Back into the fog I fade
My own solitary parade
Back into the water I wade
Unable to undo all I have made

---

Bad Luck
I've lost my soul
through the horrors I've seen
Along with past desires
Of all I could have been
To the days of old
I can never return
Time passes slowly
when the memories still burn
I see children laugh
while young mothers dance
I know I have lived my life
And there is no second chance

---

Bad Luck
After you're dragged by a car
You won't make it very far
After you fall off the wagon
You're feet'll be draggin'
After you're ran over by the train
You got no one to blame
After the plane's wing's caught fire
You ain't going any higher
After the subway doors close
There's no telling where it goes
After the escalator stops
You'll have to walk
After you break your ankle after you fall
Down on your knees you'll have to crawl
After all this well then you're stuck
You can chalk it up to just bad luck

2 thousand miles above

She came from the land of sun
Parting the clouds floating up above
Conquering new cities in the name of love
From a thousand miles away
To a thousand miles above

When we first met I knew
she wasnt just ordinary
Our conversation sent a chill through my bones

Falling in love in just over an hour
Is so extraordinary
From that moment on I didnt want to be alone

Before she came I had loved
And I had lost, oh but of course
Still I had to pay the cost
She got half after the divorce

Well the mistakes I made I soon corrected
Funny how love creeps up when you least expect it
She just wanted to be friends still I wanted more
Best friends forever seems like such a bore
These feelings for her I have to direct it
So like a dog on a porch I wait
Waiting to sneak in the back door when she [?]

---

When I dream of her eyes
It's like staring at the stars
I soon lose my train of thought
And I go walking into cars
She could've killed me
Oh but what a way to die
Lying on the street
Seeing her face up in the sky

The day she tells me
We'll never go any higher
Is the day I sell my shoes
And go walking across the fire

The cold wind blowing across the sea
No longer feels cool having felt your fire
To prove my love I'll run inside a burning building
To rescue any one your heart desires
Even your dog or your cat
Tell me what you think of that?

Day after day, you still amaze me
Don't tell me no, you'll drive me crazy
Don't fan the flames
Don't burn me
I'm not so bad
When you learn me

---

Watch this!
Watch me disappear
I've finally made up my mind
Pack my bags I'm outta here
These lips aren't made for talking
But These feet are made for walking
Left, Right left, right
The door's open
The door's closed
What's instore?
Nobody ever knows
Some say the devil you don't
Is better than the devil you do
That's why some will leave
And some won't
Some won't replant the seeds they've sown
But they are not me
I'll choose the devil unknown
I walk away from pain
I carry an umbrella
While walking in the rain
Some will stay while blaming fate
I'm skipping town before its too late

---

All for one and one for all
It really makes no sense to hide it
That he thinks this and she thinks that
One man's fiction is another man's fact
Not every argument is one-sided

All for one and one for all
What was once on the way up is now going down
After empty words were spoken
The unity was a broken
The three muskateers have all skipped town

All for one and one for all
As an individual we are so small
But this isn't China, this isn't Japan
Noone wants to be part of any master plan
Society's foundation will crack without enough bricks in the

All for one and one for all
Quite similiar to an alcoholic's motto
They say take it a day at a time is at
It'll ease your mind
I guess there's no such word as tommorrow

---

All for one and one for all
The time that's wasting is now
But for your God or yourself
Maybe for me or someone else
To some higher power we each make our vow

All for one and one for all
What kind of future does this world hold
The terminally ill are getting sicker
Each coming day our children are growing up quicker
But what hasn't a price cannot be sold

All for one and one for all
The justice system of our country has no equal
Though the cases keep getting worse
After a movie is made everybody wants to be the first
In line to buy the sequal

All for one and one for all
The liberty bell keeps on ringing
Republicans and Democrats
Keep trying to find out where the sound is at
And until they do I'll keep on singing

---

THANKS DAD... continued
All for one and one for all
You can sit staring at quotes on the wall
But I believe that Lincoln said it best
There's really no need to recite all the rest
United we stand, divided we fall

All for one and one for all
It takes many a seeds to plant a garden
And you better harvest before the frost
For if you don't all your work will be lost
I feel a wintery chill just starting
As people have no shoes on their feet
Life sometimes can get pretty mean
But you, you wouldn't mean
There's always someplace you can go
Daddy's cottage on the lake
His mansion in Boca for the sake
You never had to pay
Daddy only had to say

---

THANKS DAD... continued
To you everyday is Happy Thanksgiving
But what if I told you
To some it's always Halloween
Tricks no treats
Forget candied sweets
No treats were ever found
A place where vampires and grim reapers
Are always around
Happy Halloween
Say hello to defeat
As people have no shoes on their feet
Life sometimes can get pretty mean
But you, you wouldn't know
There's always someplace you can go
Daddy's cottage on the lake
His mansion in Boca Raton
You never had to pay for any mistake
Daddy only had to wave his magic wand
As trouble disappears
Life is chocolate cake
Do you even know what planet you're on?
I mean you have two feet for goodness sake

---

Out in the distance I hear someone calling my name
I guess even here I am still not alone
Only for solitude [symbol] the reason I came
To be out here so far from home
No matter where you go something will find you
You'll never break every chain
There's always one that will bind you
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try to break the chain
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try but something will never change

---

SMELL THE FLOWERS
This is how I meditate
In the black of night when it's getting late
I dream away of another place
Where people speak in melody
Sing songs all day long
Some where this exists
Don't care what anyone is telling me
Where you can hear only an angel's voice
Freedom in heaven can be your choice
Where you can fly
Even without wings
And you can smell the flowers
That the children bring
Somewhere this exists
But I ain't in no brochure
Someday when you wake up dead
You'll wash up on this shore

---

VANITY AFFAIR
You think that you are perfect
In everything you say
In everything you do
Some say what you don't know
Doesn't hurt you
And you believe it to be true

Oh but the price you will pay
You will find out some day
That day maybe today
Or it could still be far away

So you better keep on your toes
There's something everybody else knows
Inside there's a monster that grows
Underneath your pretty clothes

A vanity affair
But nobody's there
You're only cheating yourself

Either make amends
or play pretend
You're only cheating yourself

---

When you think you win you really lose
Either put on more makeup or change your shoes
You're only cheating yourself
Though you're dragging down everyone else

---

dance club whore
You can sing
You can dance
Get all us guys dreaming
About dropping your pants
Hey, that's very pretty under wear
How about showing me what you got under ther
One thing I'm knowing
Is you got us all going
You're not the type of girl
I usually write poetry for
Because behind those pearls
You're just dance club whore

---

OTHER PEOPLE'S CANCER
I've smoked so many cigarettes
I've probably given other people cancer
Light one up to kill the time
While Searching for some answers
How did I become myself?
There's a million other people I'd rather be
Why is this world so cold and dark
Is this really how it was meant to be
[illegible] my hammer
[illegible] those fences down

---

FENCES
The fences are getting taller
Leaning against them you feel smaller
No ladder around
That you've searched for and you found
Just give me a holler
No man should be caged by boundary's bound
for you it aint no bother
Just give me a holler
I'll go fetch my hammer
And knock those fences down

---

There's blood on the sheets
Which means she was pure
When we played doctor
I guess I had the cure
She used to be sick
But I thought she was well
With all the lights off
It's really hard to tell
Her pulse was racing
Heavy she was breathing
The pillow she was facing
I didn't know she was bleeding

---

NEXT STEP NEXT BREATH
Just a second could change your life
The wink of the eye of your future wife
The turn of a corner and the stab of a knife
So be aware when you go
Because you never really know
After the next step, the next breath
One life and one death
Forget all the rest

---

PLANT A TREE
Bullies trampled your garden
while you were sleeping
Better homes you weren't gaurding
The hell with Good Housekeeping
Seeds you once sowed Sown back
Now wilt in their bed
What was once growing
Now is dead
Who did it?
Who's to say
It wasn't me
Don't put fault my way
Don't point your Scorn at me
You know roses have thorns
Next time plant a tree

---

PUPPET

I am just a puppet man
Dancing for another's hand
Kicking legs from side to side
But beneath this smile I surely cry
The cross I bear is not at my back
It shadows me from up high
To the strings I'm hitched there's never any slack
Waving my arms from side to side
Isn't there a time when enough's enough
And Pinnocio thinks he had it rough
Never knowing what freedom brings
Until someone comes and cuts my strings
Then I'll be free of this disease
Free to move anywhere I please

---

Treading Water
I started drinking to drown my sorrows
I gave it up when trouble learned to swim
I treaded water for so long
I never realized how deep I was in
I tried the dead man's float
When I lost all hope
Then I started to think
After I didn't sink
That maybe I better not swim any more
In the middle of this thought
In the middle of this dream
The currents drifted me down stream
And soon I landed on the shore
Still unsure what I was swimming for
But As I was out in the water
With no one around
I believed I was alone
But trouble I still found

---

DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
She came to me late one night
As a damsel in distress
I in always the type to Lend my helping hand
To that I will surely confess
But How she knew that I would help her
Is still anybody's guess

I spotted her near the bottom of my driveway
Hiding behind my crumbling wall of stone
I wasn't sure if she was alright
But I knew that she was all alone

Because of the bag she held
I noticed that her small hands trembled
Because of the confusion in her eyes
I noticed that an infant child she resembled

Because of some weight on her shoulders
She couldn't stand very tall
Because she was crumbling like my wall
To her I softly called

There was a sparkle in her eyes
When ours did meet
She was running from trouble
Which was on the very next street

---

POSTERCHILD
Riding the peeks and valleys
of this emotional roller coaster
The day of my birth I was made the poster
child of confusion
So I never have any illusions
Don't get fooled by any illusions
of being someone else,
someone better then myself
Run over by the proverbial steam roller
While fighting for a world where I am the controller
Make enough noise and you'll get your way
Though it doesn't always happen right away
If you push hard enough it'll happen someday
It becomes even harder when you're by yourself
Look around, you don't see anyone else
As soon as they say hello
I tell them I have to leave
They sell their kind

---

A DIME A DOZEN

There's a blue sky above
But the weather's still cold
Upthere there's a rainbow
Down here everyone's looking for gold
After believing every story ever told

But me, I only want what's real
What I can see
What I can feel

No time for make believe
That's not the kind of life I lead
I no longer beg and plead
With people who deceive

As soon as they say hello
I tell them I have to leave

They sell their kind
For a dime a dozen
They're here and then gone
All of a sudden
And so I live with people who's time is wast
Basted like a turkey in an oven

---

This world makes you cling to lies
Because truth can be so cruel
Everyone makes their own rules
Some think each encounter is a potential duel
Another corner turned, another fool
Who could live in the Artic and not keep their cool
Just keep treading water in misery's pool
While being used as evil's tool
Chasing a carrot on a stick just like a mule

Some may call them an ass
It depends on who you ask
They're setting themselves up for a fall
That's why I don't call them at all

If you ask them
They'll say they're doing fine
Ask me and you'll get a piece of my mind

Before I go on
Ranting and Raving
Complaining and talking
Are you one of them
Or should I leave
And keep on walking?

---

Empty Eyes

It's not that I'd rather be alone
Then be by your side
But the strongest feelings I have for you
Are the ones that I hide

My empty eyes
You could never look inside
Once you break the chains
There is no more compromise

Broken
No more I love yous
Spoken

Crying
Is what she's been doing because I was
Lying
[Faint text: since I've been old enough to love]
[Faint text: The winds of the world]
[Faint text: Proof blowin colder]
You can't prove your love when you don't speak the
Truth
[Faint text: That what is deep down is not real]
[Faint text: ... ones to breaking hearts]
[Faint text: ... tell her so and them chain away]

Leaving she's
Is what was doing now, No more
Deceiving

---

My love came and left
Disappeared into the night
Floated up by the moon
Then vanished out of sight

Her love came
But never went away
Probably rattles around her mind
Even now about every other day

It Seems the nature of women
Is that emotion rules all
The reason they rise
And the reason they fall

Seems I've always worn
My heart upon my shoulder
But ever since I've been old enough to love
The winds of the world
Keeps blowin colder

The only feelings I conceal
That what is deep down is not real
Is when it comes to breaking hearts
I serve deception and untrue love in equal parts
I know I should just tell her so and then run away
No matter when she knows she'll still cry anyway

---

Fears of hers
Have been replaced by
Tears of hers

Thoughts of me
Flash pictures in her memory
About how someone so dear to me
Could drive me to insanity
By heading a giant conspiracy
If my children ever mirrored me
I'd lock 'em out of the house
And throw away the key
Double standards don't apply to me

---

Sorrow's Curves

The lines on her face
I slowly traced
Everyone held the curve of sorrow

The expression of her face
Showed she only knew one taste
Her lips were always curved around a bottle

Her deep circled eyes
Showed very little surprise
There's not much she hasn't seen

Dark blemishes on her skin
Told of the places she's been
Still discolored though newly scrubbed clean

---

Hate Crimes

There's hate crimes
Going on all the time
In the early morning
In the middle of the night

It's white on black
Then it's black on white
No matter the color
They still fight

There's hate crimes
Problems rising out of sight
People losing track
of what's wrong and what's right

---

Lost and Found

I see what you have the street
And I want it ng side of the road
And it will be mine many orders
I'll pay any cost at I'm told

Someday you will turn around winter
And she will not be near windows down
As I will find laugh as all
What you have lost people frown

And you will begin to hate it
But it was all premeditated busy
Just when you thought you had everything together
I finally convinced her that she can do better

---

BUS STOP PEOPLE

Driving down the street
On the wrong side of the road
Following too many orders
I won't do what I'm told

In the middle of the winter
You put your windows down
And you laugh as all
The bus stop people frown

I'd pick them up
But I'm far too busy
It just shows you need a car
To get around in this city

---

A broken mirror
Lies shattered on the floor
In beautiful patterns
Of Distorted reflections
Once one point of view
Now judged by many
No more hiding in the cracks
Of Misgiven perception
What was once smooth is now jagged
Once pure is now blemished
Whatwas once tailored is now ragged
Disregarded not cherrished

---

UH, That's Christmas, Nana

Has anyone seen my apron?
Has anyone seen my keys?
I can't see too well without my glasses
And I lost them too while cooking peas

By the way, do you know where my truck is?
I could have sworn I drove it home
But at least I know when my birthday is
Because this nice man who knew I'd forget
Kindly carved it on a stone

Well thanks for helping me find my apron
I left it hanging from my waist
Then when I opened the door to my truck
In the ignition were the keys I'd misplaced

Maybe I'll remember where I left my glasses
After a good night's sleep so I'll go to bed
But wouldn't you know it that when
I looked in the mirror to brush my teeth
Those darn glasses were around my head

This is just part of growing older
When you forget more than most people remember
I just hope you don't forget my birthday
On the twenty fifth day of December

---

DAY DREAMING
Day dreaming of you
That's what I do
To pass each day
That you're away

While my arms are empty
My head is swimming
While my heart is full
Of the love I'm giving

Everytime I feel a fall
Any time I have a fear at all
Sweet memories of you I recall
I hug them like a little boy teddy bear
I hug them like a little girl does a doll

My memories are my company
When ever I turn and you're not there
Where ever I come to find myself
I hold them tight when I am scared

Then there's a CALMNESS in the air
Oh how sweet the taste
Staring into a beautiful daydream
That is your face

---

War... On and on it goes
Soaked in red become your clothes
But in the battle of minds no one's ever been killed
No external bruises in the war of wits and wills
Yes I too looked long ago
for a friend who turned into a foe
as soon as you walked inside the door
My palms were sweating
I was still unsure of what I was getting
or what was in store
when I learned
easy you can get burned
promised myself I wouldn't go there any more

---

You can walk through the city
Searching for peace
But you'll probably find war

Yes I too looked long ago
For a friend who turned into a foe
As soon as you walked inside the door

My palms were sweating
I was still unsure of what I was getting
Into or what was instore

But when I learned
How easy you can get burned
I promised myself I wouldn't go there any more

Now I hide
Way up North I reside
Where the only things flying are the birds

When the trees softly speak
Their advice I seek
Though they're not saying any words

---

I don't try to teach
I don't try to preach
That's not the way
That people get reached

When I speak
I don't try to say
I don't try to tell
You're not trying to buy
I'm not trying to sell
So I try to show
And that works pretty well

You don't have to be a farmer
In order to live off the land
Neither do you have to be taught
In order to understand

You choosing right or wrong
Whether you build or you break
Is not the reason for this song
Or all this hard ache

---

For some people they just get it
They know the know
The amount of the time it takes the others
Is slow, slow, slow

I don't know what the reasons Are
why it takes so much time
I still haven't figured it all out so far
Why some people are so blind, blind, blind

---

On the pouring rain
Look into my heart
Look inside your soul
Do you see they are the same?
Have you ever gazed beneath my eyes
And what I attempt to hide
Just like a children's game?

My emotion tells me
to tell you I love you
But my mind is so scared of the pain
What if when I tell you
That you're my sunshine
It begins to rain?

I could never risk to lose you as a friend
Nor could I ever break my heart again
My only fears are if I wait
Then maybe that would be too late

Look into my heart
Take a look inside my soul
Can you feel the warmth of a fire
Burning out of control?

---

I could live for you
I would die for you
But I'll cry for you
If you want me to

With the angel inside you
No man could deny you
What I have come to understand
You hold my world in your hand

Since I met you
I've never been the same
When the world is quiet
I hear your name

When I'm by your side
I feel no pain
I'm warm and dry
In the pouring rain

A Jet plane
That ain't so high
Don't say hello
before you say goodbye
Leave that to me
You'll save your family tree
Only your mother puts lines in my
Corona
It'll just be myself
Drivin' up the road
No dead end
I ain't yet a goner (gonah)
Take a seat by my side
You'll see it's true
I have no greater
weakness than when I'm with you

---

We loosened up a bit
But I won't get out
Sick of this and that
You know the same old shit
It's just my pen and me
Nothing we can't see
A table at the bar
It don't take that long
You may have come so far
But it's the same old song
That my best this way
No livin day to day
Time to plan a future
The old people say
Seperate this from that
Throw out the trash
Go to ash wednesday
Don't forget your cash

end of the line
edge of the cliff
Time will tell
Who'll you'll be with
her or him
Goodness or sin
Would be a good Father
or does he have to go farther
My Street turns here
A left or right
that will tell
If you'll spend the night

just what can be new
working in the same old zoo
Rat race has begun
Number one is ahead of number two
Freedom has a voice
But what if you have no choice
When she calls your name
you'll never be the same
Napolean came and went
Not much he left unconquered
But She won't leave your mind
Love like that will drive you bonkers
Is'nt that why you left the last one alone
Said you've eaten your cake
Now its time to go home
As the music fades into the walls
How much can you take?

Cover: 'ONLY THE BEST / poems & song lyrics / by Tom Jensen / READTOM.COM'. Interior page, poem 'A PERFECT WORLD': 'The whole world's a fight / I can't get no peace / I've spent my whole life / Looking for what I can't see / For what will never be / As the only thing that will set me free / Is an unknown memory / That somewhere and somehow / Lives inside of me / Inside a locked door / For which there is no key // The whole world's a fight / My mind gets disrupted when it's at ease / Watching the sunset is a long forgotten art / Feet so busy walking separate from the heart / When was the last time you noticed the moon? / I'm surprised you've forgotten so soon / There's so much more than what you've been told / Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold? // This set pattern you follow is just one of their lies / A world lacking communion, only me's and I's / Through competition our brotherhood has been broken / As no one's acknowledged these words that I've spoken / Everything, even people, filed by order and rank / Number one built the Titanic yet down it sank / There's still time left to return these ideas you've been sold / Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold? // Some say if winning isn't everything than why keep score? / Those same people send other mother's sons to war / I could be like you or maybe someone else / One step towards them and one away from myself / Sometimes they see me and ask me 'How I feel?' / I respond, 'Like a hamster on a rusty wheel' / If you feel trapped like a rat in this world so cold / Rise up in rebellion, could you be so bold? // The whole world's a fight / I can't get no peace / An uphill battle right from the start / Feet so busy walking separate from the heart / When was the last time you noticed the moon? / I'm surprised you've forgotten so soon / So concerned with the future that the present is gone / Never taking time to stand still / We just keep on moving on / Why not take a break before you break / For we're all judged by the choices we make'. Followed by prose essay explaining the poem's origin: 'The origins of this poem began when I took a trip: an acid trip. I was taking the train home from landscaping one beautiful summer's day when I overheard some high school kids talking about drugs... once they got off of the train in Salem (my stop as well) I said, Hey man... Ten dollars later I had it in my hands...' describes writing the poem's six verses in six different colors of marker while tripping, visiting a park referenced in his poem 'Innocense Lost', and discovering the notebook weeks later, concluding 'It has become my own personal work of art - my theme song to my life - my mission statement. It sums up everything that I believe in.' Handwritten red-ink annotation on a separate note: 'Looks like printed poems by tom poems & blurbs - First Book'.

We both know things aren't gonna change
Feels like I'm screaming

KILL THE SEED
Don't go in the ocean
Don't you dare try to fly in the sky
There are sharks beneath the dark water
Above fucking glowing drones that fly
There's bugs in all our devices
And roaches in the pot, yes
Messages that are subliminal
Are now entering our heads!
A death sentence is now thirty paragraphs
We all signed but didn't read
Technology is bringing us backwards
Save the chaff and kill the seed
A crazy man wanting to Mars
When I just want to go to California

RECKLESS GIRLS
Nailing girls who are reckless.
Something always on my checklist, yeah.

I'll come you a whole pearl necklace.

Fuck them sluts and cucks!
Fuck them sluts and cucks!
I taught your wife jujitsu... Who knew?

Who knew, who knew?
When chasing after her
ill holding my broom,

CLOSURE / AFTERMATH
Well, we're way past the
And I'm sinking fast by
I see my possessions c
Everything I worked
And I'll be left here
But I can't stay her
So I'll be moving
Moving on...
I'll be moving o
You could call
I keep giving
But the thin
It's been lil/
It never st...
Grows and grows...
Some are calling it a midlife cris
Why I keep giving in to my vices
While avoiding all the people
who knew me back in the day
Because they saw what I've been doing
I know what they would say
My life is in ruins
Since I came back from abroad
I was broken from her powers
And yeah, I fucking lost God! Yeah
ee, she made me hate my past
was all a landslide after that
id everything little she asked
w you'll have to bask in the aftermath...
bought a gun and you know why...
fucking cunt is gonna die!
le bunch of bullets by my side
e latest murder suicide
ched her her first breath
d her take her last
e both left with the side effects
that can't be taken back
s still craving the familiar
rs mill over the peculiar
e kill with such composure
I see me here seeking closure

(Lower middle/bottom center)
poor, a cell, a tomb
God grant me the strength
to go on, to yell, to cry somehow
It is time
I'm a prisoner of my brain
A victim of biology
Slowly driven insane
By a hollowgraphic society

READING I BLOW (RAINBOW)
I'm having a bisexual party,

Maybe three or even four
Look at me, I'm such a whore!
I will suck almost anyone...
