Paralyzed At the crosswalk sign And it’s telling me to move In this Balkanized Corporate paradise Consciousness is a fool On my way To a date With the anxious apparatus To plead my case And amend my mistake Of writing that ending Tragic Do you have an empty feeling? Can you play the part of hope? Was their dream worth believing? When you already had a coat? Satisfied By a momentary high After signing their contract Unrecognized Walking the Highline Alias intact We were running late To a play That was about our lives We did not know ourselves Everybody is somebody else And I still love the way ..read more

My body wakes at dawn Always obeys the first alarm I do what I’m told these days Automize to eliminate the doubt Rehearse the purpose they can't live without This is the kind of gig that pays Nobody’s in charge or wants the job We can’t elect a new god While still hauling biblical names World War pain They teach us to be sane When I train my sights on you It’s me being free World War pain What’s your favorite game?

I wasn’t a child in Rafah Whose innocence was given Zero consideration Upon de ..read more

A touch of the tragic May be conducive to magic But it’s a rock in the shoe Of ordinary life Never wanted it to happen Our branch bent before snapping Saw reality as an anomaly As our little tree struggled in the strife Upon the polished bar-slab Rests an old head who can’t pay his tab While his pocket chimes, a music box The last gift from his wife Well, life may be short I may be numb My country is Governed by a gun Hey, maybe it’s simple Maybe its not I could not work The way that you want If there’s a god If you’re a friend If there’s a story With an end I won’t forget When things were goo ..read more
