Inherent Absence

⚠️ CONTENT ADVISORY – TRIGGER WARNING

INHERENT ABSENCE — ALBUM THIRTY‑TWO (32)

This album contains a wide range of emotionally intense, explicit, and potentially distressing material.

While several tracks are reflective and introspective in nature, others employ graphic language, dark humor, and extreme satire.

Listeners are advised that this album includes references to:

• Depression, alienation, grief, and existential despair

• Suicidal ideation, murder–suicide language, and violent fantasy

• Gun violence, mass harm imagery, and emotional aftermath

• Sexual content including explicit acts, degradation, fetishization, and bodily fluids

• Sexual assault implications, grooming references, and taboo subject matter

• Substance abuse, intoxication, and reckless behavior

• Misogynistic, misanthropic, and intentionally offensive language

• Mockumentary-style parody of real public figures and scandals

• Mental health crises, dissociation, obsession, and rumination

• Dark comedy involving bodily functions, disability, and death

• Religious doubt, loss of faith, and spiritual emptiness

The album juxtaposes sincerity with provocation, often shifting abruptly from vulnerability to vulgarity, and from humor to despair. Certain tracks may be triggering for survivors of abuse, violence, or mental health struggles.

This work is intended for mature audiences only.

Listener discretion is strongly advised, particularly for those sensitive to themes of self-harm, sexual violence, or graphic imagery.

By continuing, you acknowledge that you are prepared to engage with material that may be disturbing, uncomfortable, or emotionally heavy.

ANOTHER EPIC POEM

As the cameras flashed

Somehow I held everything back

Oh, how I was so ready to snap


Yet so caught up in the moment

I knew I could not show it

So I made it seem like I cherished it


As on the inside I’d lie

and try to hide

All of my rough, jagged edges

and my innermost blemishes


While on the outside I’d smile,

Shake hands and high five

The people as they filed

Up and down now

They’re crowding around

both sides of the aisle


This was before your time

This was before your time

This was before your time

Back when you didn’t know me

Back when I barely knew myself


This was before your time

This was before your time

This was before your time

Back when I was searching for

Safety in seclusion far away from someone else





But when I heard the magic of your words

As you sang I actually praised the lord!

And those of you who know me would all agree

That that’s my own personal version of blasphemy…


Why did I believe in you?

Was it because I knew

You’d come to believe in me, too…

Eventually…


Or was it because

before you came around

I found I was spiritually empty…

I was oh so empty…


Then suddenly, you appeared…dear

And here was this well

Ahh…Refreshing as hell

Just then your voice rang out

As clear as a bell,

“Drink up, drink up…

For we have more…

Yes, there’s plenty!”


Since that day

I have NEVER lost my faith


My faith in me...

My faith in you...

My faith in our ability to adapt or escape...

To either leave or lead this human race!




STARS AND STRANGERS

I’ve seen faces come and go

Like seasons in a small-town square.

Old men feeding birds,

mothers combing tangled hair.


You can tell a lot about a place

By who still waves when you drive by,

And who hides behind curtains

pretending they’re not lurking as they hide.


There was a girl I met

With a long silver medallion chain,

We held hands, shared dream and

danced barefoot in the rain.


She said even if the world is mostly pain,

Why not strut our stuff and do our thang?


I wrote her name in dust upon my dashboard,

And then we drove until the letters disappeared.

Take heed of the warning

Things in your rear view mirror may actually be closer than they appear...


We woke up to a radio preacher

Saying time is running thin,

But the clock on my wall don’t scare me now

Like it once did back then.


I’ve been building little fires

To light my way back home

Finally stoking embers

Feeling renewed in their warm glow.


There was a note taped to my mirror —

Saying: “Don’t you dare forget who you are!”

I kept on reading until the rain ran down the ink,

Navigating distance only by the stars.


Now I’m older than I ever planned to be,

Still searching for the knowledge that can set us free.

The road is cracked, the signs are bending,

But the engine hums its familiar, steady key.


Maybe all this wandering is just rehearsal for the end,

A way of making peace with having to start again.

If love is its own language coming through in waves

I await the warm embrace I’m ready to be washed away!


The moon hangs low above the pines tonight,

A white yellow round against canvas black blends

If she’s listening, tell her I still write, I will write...

And some day I’ll return with what I lost back then...





TONY’S SONG

I said weasel, let's talk

About our favorite three letters

(USA)


As free men, we walk

But only if they let us

(yeah, yeah)


Down the road we go

Knowing well some of us won't return...

(no)


Yeah, another thing we know

We've been watching this slow, slow burn...

(slow)


We’re burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames,

Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came.

Caught between the future and the mess we're in today

Trying to get in, get out, trying to get it before it gets away…


The fire keeps getting hotter

But now I got a daughter

It's up to me to teach her what she learns


Yeah, I've got to find a way to cope

When I know I'm losing hope

And I'm gonna hit that point of no return!


Chorus:

We’re burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames,

Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came.

Caught between the future and the mess we're in today

Trying to get in, get out, get it and make our getaway…


There's about a million people in the world

Who are better than all the rest

To have any more than that

Is really superfluous


So with that in mind

What is my purpose?

To be the Luigi

In Mario's World?


Should I strive to save a princess

Or die trying to flip the turtles?

Maybe find the king of the castle

And shake up every piece on the board

Be a twentieth-century Robin Hood

Send someone bad back to the Lord!


We’re burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames,

Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came.

Caught between the future and the mess we're in today

Trying to get in, get out, and live to see the light of next day…




I finally watched The Sopranos

Two decades after it aired

Whatever happened to Keanu Reeves?

That kinda guy has all but disappeared...


I’ve got a troubled mind

During these troubled times

Yeah, you say you’re one in a million –

And I say there’s over eight-thousand of your kind!


We’re burning, burning, watching our dreams go up in flames,

Looking for a reason not to treason, but the reason never came.

Caught between the future and the mess we're in today

Trying to get in, get out, maybe be heard when we got something to say…


Trying to get in, get out, trying to get it before it gets away…

Trying to get in, get out, trying to get it before it gets away…

Trying to get in , get out, trying to_______________________

Trying to get in, get out, trying to _______________________


additional lyrics maybe:

My Great Godfather always wanted to die early

Just so he said he would look good at the wake

He's ninety-eight and counting....

Doctor says he's doing great


I'm gonna steal everything

That you let me take

I'm gonna lie and disguise

I'm gonna hide and fake

All my fears and tears

That'll make me break


It's not gonna stop

All the thoughts

I'm gonna create my fate

Create OUR fate

Watch and...

Just you wait....






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 to Mars

When I just want to go to California







KEY TO BE FREE

Why do so many believe

That insanity

Is the key to be free?


I see zombies frozen asleep

On the sides of the street!





PERFECT

Eyes are watching but they don’t see me

While all the tragic people long to be me

Don’t know why that is

Don’t wanna play into the hysteria


That’s why I always try to break free

Believing there’s another way to live

Than what they’re telling ya…


Am I among the few?

Many would have you believe so

What does your neighbor say?

Why don’t you go knock on his door?

Alas, he moved real far away long ago


Set out searching though he declined to define

What he’d be looking for…

Just said he’d know it when he sees it

In his bestest version of broken English


Funny how I’ve grown to understand it

And even come to speak it

You say screw it

I’ll just do it

Doesn’t have to be the perfect plan


Start by doing

Gets things moving

If you wanna get into the

Or outtava jam!


You just say screw it...

I’ll just do it!


For there ain’t no perfect plan, man…

For there ain’t no perfect plan, woman…

For there ain’t no perfect plan,

My child…




ACT FASTING

Buridan's Ass...

Buridan's Ass…


I know I've become unstable because

Lately I've been feeling trapped


I look both ways

And still here I'm at...

With all this open field

And all these things I feel

And yet no clear path


Buridan's Ass...

Buridan's Ass…


He died right here from indecision

Left his bones to act as our map


Buridan's Ass...

Buridan's Ass…


When you're empty, hungry and thirsty

Sometimes the secret

is just knowing when to act!


You could learn a lot from a donkey

If you just know the right questions to ask…




GROOVE BACK II

I don’t wanna know about my heroes...

The same way I don’t wanna know if my doctor drinks

Being who you are has gotten you this far

But you’ve stalled and hit a wall

My guy… what are you doing to yourself?

Didn’t you used to be someone else?


I’m trying to get my groove back

(Groove back)

And prove that

(Prove that)

The haters were wrong

I'm trying to write a new refrain

where I show restraint

and not lose from where I came

you know

same old shit, same old song!




CLOSURE / AFTERMATH

Well, we're way past the Fourth of July...

And I'm sinking fast by the riverside


I see my possessions out on the block

Everything I worked so hard for will be gone

And I’ll be left here holding on

But I can’t stay here

So I’ll be moving on….

Moving on…

I’ll be moving on...


You could call it a midlife crisis

I keep giving in to my vices

But the thing is

It's been like this since I was sixteen

It never stops, sometimes it slows then gets real mean!

Grows and grows…


Some are calling it a midlife crisis

Why I keep giving in to my vices

While avoiding all the people

who knew me back in the day

Because if 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


See, she made me hate my past

It was all a landslide after that

I did everything little she asked

Now you’ll have to bask in the aftermath…


I just bought a gun and you know why…

That fucking cunt is gonna die!

A whole bunch of bullets by my side

Just the latest murder suicide


You watched her take her first breath

I watched her take her last

Now we’re both left with the side effects

of actions that can’t be taken back


The family is still craving the familiar

while strangers mill over the peculiar

How could one kill with such composure

That’s why you see me here seeking closure


To a door, 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 hollow graphic society


I let a wrong turn

define my path

Now you’re left dealing

with the aftermath


I felt like life

had kicked my ass

What I’ve done

I can’t take back...

We can’t take back...


And since sociopaths are bad with names

To you my kind it might sound strange

Yeah, all you’re gonna do is fan the flames

It’s just gonna be another attempt in vain

We both know things aren’t gonna change

Feels like I’m screaming

into a hurricane-cane-cane-ane-ane-ane……...



MY FAN FICTION

She was more than a world away

Yet this dream I could not shake

Taking up the best time she had

Shouldn't have done that now looking back


Sometimes you can end the world

With just your good intentions

I needed more than refinement

I needed reinvention


Always driven by passion

Maybe more an addiction?

Why not self-improvement I'm now asking

I was trying to make fact this fan fiction, yeah!


I tried to find the perfect girl

Inside of this imperfect world

As I sit and trace my greatest mistakes

My last decade alone - give or take


I Lost a girl i never had

On two planes I had to come back

I was more numb than I was sad

Crawling back home to my two cats


I been trying to hide from my mind...

but there's no escape

I been thinking about the one that got away...

every single Fucking day


When I lied to myself

I used to actually believe

But now I stopped playing pretend,

hell, nah, I don't even dream


Lost from the here and now

Now she's two worlds away

To that other side

Over in that better place...

DAYLIGHT SAVINGS

I drive by school bus stops...

Quite a lot

To see who leaves their kid

Alone in the dark.


Daylight Savings Time,

It could cover up a crime


I drive by school bus stops quite a lot

To see who leaves their kid alone in the dark.

Daylight savings time, it could be a crime, if you know.


I drive by school bus stops quite a lot

To see who leaves their kid alone in the morning.


Daylight savings time, it could be a crime.

Take it from me, let this be your warning.


Take it from me, it's your warning.

Take this from me as your warning.

Take this from me as your warning


I drive by school bus stops quite a lot…

When chasing after her

still holding my broom,

how does she get out

of my Diddy room?


Straight head first

down the slip and slide.

With all that baby oil, she glides and glides

and glides and glides and glides and glides

and glides and glides and glides and glides

and glides!

She glides.


When chasing after her

still holding my my broom,

how does she break out of my Diddy room?


Head first, straight straight head first

down the slip and slide

with all that baby oil.

She glides and glides and glides and glides and glides.

She glides,


Escaped her chain

She's now free to roam

This is like some pornographic version

of Home Alone...


Looking up and down

and searching everywhere

when I finally found a trail

of shaven pubic hair.


Lucky for me,

I'm gonna follow this clue,

and I'm gonna follow this trail to happiness

that's gonna lead me to you…





I'm gonna lick your clit

and twist your tits

and then come in your ass

so we don't have no kids.


Now you're gonna fit me

like a broken-in glove

straight in your rectum

are going all of the above:


My left testicle and tongue

And my penis head, chin and thumb

Followed by my big toe.

And what comes next?

Oh, wouldn’t you like to know!!!!


It could be over fast.

It could be over quick.

It could make you smile

or be some sadistic shit.





LOVE AND MY HAND

I met a girl with a nub

at the poet's club

Looked into her blue eyes

As I put both my hands on her thighs...

Knowing she could only push one away

I knew that love and my hand were here to stay

Love and my hand...

Love and my hand...

Loving my hand...


Now after some lovin

We got a bun in the oven

All of a sudden

We got another little nubbin

Another little nub...

Another little nub...

Love a little nub...


Yeah I love to eat cake

So I keep on baking

But I keep having kids

Whose hands are taken


Love and my hand

Another little nub

I'll have you understand

You both can share a pair of gloves, yeah, alright...


The Premise is I keep having kids whose hands are missing.

We all do one-handed activities but I secretly wish to do two handed activities

maybe beg to be pegged?



WALLFLOWER POOP

Gonna take a poop in the night...

Hope it's gonna flush right


Doesn't matter who clogged the bowl

You got a wide asshole


Tried to free it up...

But now the plunger’s stuck

Yeah, now you really fucked up!


But now its doesn’t matter who did what

Amidst this… now toxic flood!


One, two, three swipes... a poop knife

Shit drips splattered 'neath the seat

Somebody gonna have to clean up


You hope nobody sees you make your great escape

Oh FUCK SHIT it’s too late!


Try to come up with a story they can understand

When you notice your hand….


Looks like ya forgot to wipe!

This night didn’t go as you had planned.







RIP CHARLIE

I’ve been waiting for Charlie Sheen to die

For thirty years since nineteen ninety-five

September twentieth-eighth around ten o’ nine

Caught! My mom and Charlie having a good time!


Just a young lad, maybe ten years old

My mom was all I had — to have and hold

Couldn’t find the cream I had a rash…

Opened mom’s door… A big black dildo in Charlie’s ass!


That's when my life got turned upside down.

The night Charlie come over with Mr. Brown!


Now I never met anyone famous before

Except for Gary Busey outside a liquor store

But, nah I wasn’t thinking I want an autograph

I want a baby brother so my mom can take half!

Or one-third of one-half because the two ex-wives, child support….


I end up catching mom and Charlie each putting dildos in their asses

in the bedroom and I end up growing up fucked up

and I’ve traced it back to this moment in time.

Still waiting for Charlie to die! Haha.





WHEN YOU'RE HAMMERED

Can I have my car keys, please?

I wanna go hit some trees...

'Cause I'm hammered!


One text or call

could ruin it all...

When you're hammered!


Yeah, that fine, fine sister

Turns out to be a mister...

When you're hammered!


You were too busy eating

To notice you were bleeding...

'Cause you were hammered!


You just HAD to touch her chest

But that's a felony arrest...

Because you were hammered!


You just peed your pants warm

Like a tropical storm...

Yeah, you were hammered!


In jail you spent the night

When that cop you wanted to fight...

'Cause you were hammered!


Your girlfriend slapped you in the face

The two of you got sprayed with mace...

Because you were both hammered!

-

If my life was a movie

I'd have died up on that silver screen


I swear I'm the luckiest man alive

Let me tell you son, what I've seen
