I'm describing them that way because there are two different moods to what I write... well, you'll see if you take the time to read them. Comments and suggestioins are more than welcome.

Vegas

I’m tired of sitting in this empty room,
alone.
Wish I were in Vegas….
among the shiny people, sitting and drinking—
step into the street
and know
I am whole.

Chorus:
And we were roses…
we walked together
feet not touching the ground.
And we were roses…
common,
when love is as blood.

Stare into me again,
I can still taste your lips
in the twilight.
Sittin’ on the dock, drinking Corona
and watching the sun
as we sank low.

(Chorus)

Looking to tommorow
Cuz it’s another day
I will habve passed
Since you’ve been gone.
Places familiar, I cannot seem to know
without the feeling
of your smile.

(Chorus/Outro)

JUSTIFY

I have beaten the hand
That’s feeding me
I have broken the bonds
That tie me down
I have retried the mouth
That preaches me
I have tasted the dirt and
Shit on the ground.
Breeding contempt in
General circumstance
Try to entice the fool
To dance.
Wasted away
Under your light…
Try to remove
And question why…..

White chance feeds
Under the sallow sky
And I still can’t remember.
Bloom and die
Bloom and die
Regret is a tool of the ...
Fuck the weak
Fuck the guilty
Fuck the promise
Fuck the empty…….

I am become
the breath of god
I am the son
You pray to rise.
I am the shackle
To hold you under
I am the crutch
To guard the lies.
Bless you now
To see you burn;
Suffer the children to come and learn.
Holding the deathwatch
In revelry
Ascending alone
To entropy…

White chance feeds
Under the sallow sky
And I still can’t remember.
Bloom and die
Bloom and die
Regret is a tool of the ...
Fuck the weak
Fuck the guilty
Fuck the promise
Fuck the empty…….

I am the rose
Put on the new grave
I am the face
With eyes burned open.
I am the bloodstain
That will not fade
I am the body
Last rights, sin taken.
Bury the dark
Deep in your wrist (fucker)
Kissing your shadow
That breaks and twists
Cracking the door
To utter the tears (you fucker)
Requiem whispered
In both ears…

White chance feeds
Under the sallow sky
And I still can’t remember.
Bloom and die
Bloom and die
Regret is a tool of the….
Fuck the weak
Fuck the guilty
Fuck the promise
Fuck the empty…….
Fuck the weak (justify)
Fuck the guilty (justify)
Fuck the promise (justify)
Fuck the empty (justify)
Fuck the weak (justify) (lets die)
Fuck the guilty (justify) (beg you)
Fuck the promise (justify) (wanna lie)
Fuck the empty (justify) (I am empty)
Your god is a mule
Your god is a mule
Breathe and choke and piss and die.

What does it feel like
to know you were wrong?
What does it feel like
to know my heart is gone?
You act like yesterday can be recalled,
but once forgotten, memories fade and fall.
Words were spoken
Lies and untruths-
I cannot see clearly
Or offer you proof.
The sky has grown hazy in the absence of the sun.
In my pictures there were two, now I am just one.

Chorus:
4 o’clock in the morning, the coffee is way too strong
but when bitterness is all you have
the night doesn’t seems so long.
So long
so long
so long
but I’m holding on.

Searching for answers,
questions never asked
Fumbling in the darkness,
driven to the past.
Searching for solace from the shadows that I find.
Restless and abdoned, looking for another time.
“Repent” says the sinner
as he dances with the fool.
“Strip away the sanity,
until you see the truth”.
What pennance can I offer, when nothing seems to change?
What lessons can I learn when I’m beaten by the rain?

(Chorus)

No one seems to notice
the hole I’m drowning in,
bruised and unconscious
before the fight begins.
Tasting my illusions as tears upon my lips-
enraptured by the undertow and broken by the kiss.
Indulging in a daydream
that never seems to last,
shaking when I consider
what never came to pass.
When the spotlight finally fades I have nowhere left to run,
Alone upon the darkened stage; the play is never done.

OMFUG · 05-08-2003, 07:13 AM

Her image is frayed,
tattered by her own hands.
Memories the same,
reach out to understand.
One rocket too many,
the story never changes.
I saw the blackened spoon,
the writing on the pages

But you were too young
to understand.
Liquid gun into your veins,
to float away
escape the pain.
But you were too young
to turn around.
There was nowhere left to stand;
all the places
empty spaces.
Burning at both ends,
never be dope-sick again.

Always seemed to ramble on,
the spark was quick to catch.
We all just blistered in your flame.
You burned more, much more than the rest.
And now the tracks will never heal;
the train caught up to you.
Maybe you finally think you’re beautiful,
Your lips are such a pretty shade of blue.

But you were too young
to understand.
Liquid gun into your veins,
to float away
escape the pain.
But you were too young
to turn around.
There was nowhere left to stand;
all the places
empty spaces.
Burning at both ends,
never be dope-sick again.

So I have more to post, but I figured I'd let people take a look at these before I continue.....

iandj777 · 05-10-2003, 07:14 AM

Eyes open and Vegas are really good. Especially eyes open. I've been writing a couple pieces involving self-destructive drug use (I was dating this really fucked up girl) but I won't post them now, yours are much better.

J.R.V.A. · 05-10-2003, 08:57 AM

I like eyes open also, very good

OMFUG · 05-12-2003, 06:49 AM

Cool.... thanks. Here are a few more....

OMFUG · 05-12-2003, 06:51 AM

Truth is I’m waitin’ for you to call
and I hope I never hear your voice
again.
Truth is I was standin’ when you left me
but I’m still waiting for the new day
to begin.
Will you take the time to ease
my mind or do I need a ticket
to get in line?
It seems the time we passed
so fast has finally taken a break
to wait for me…

Truth is there are still two pillows
on my bed but I always see the sun rise
anyway.
Truth is, the empty places the you left
cannot be filled by all the tears I have
to cry.
And when the days are overcast
I cannot last—I see you in every
drop of rain.
Pictures of you fade but still
I’m added and I cannot find
my voice again.

There is no end to this story
There is no reason to pretend
I cannot write another chapter
When the laughter’s at an end.
And I’m so afraid to find
that I will, once again,
have one more half-told tale….

OMFUG · 05-12-2003, 06:51 AM

Help me to be myself
Make me someone you can
Believe in.
Take away my eyes my pain my blood
Tell me who I am
Who I am who I am
Who am I?
I feel your appraising eye
Pull images from the TV.
My soul needs a tourniquet
My faith needs a shotgun.
Break into a new way
Pathetic conception of my own
Redemption
Wasted all on you
To crumple up and throw down.

All
My
Time
Blistered feet from walking on hell
All
My
Time
Lonely before I fell
I can’t breathe, can’t wait
Can’t understand
Pictures of people I was
Pictures of people I could be
Crashing down the well….

Make me a suggestion
Soothe your painted eyes
I was foretold, forbidden
Denied access to my own suicide.
Bless me with tainted water
Watch me burst into flame
Collect up all the ashes
And make me whole again
Take me before its too late
And my will to live returns
Cut me eviscerate me
So I can be reborn

All
My
Time
Blistered feet from walking on hell
All
My
Time
Lonely before I fell
I can’t breathe, can’t wait
Can’t understand
Pictures of people I was
Pictures of people I could be
Farther down the hall

OMFUG · 05-12-2003, 06:52 AM

Wait a minute
Tell me something
Where has all the comfort gone?
I used to know so well
Take your time now
Please be certain
Why have you changed my life
Into a living hell?

There is no progress anymore
The time for soft words passed
I sense you’re fucked and have been
Outclassed.

Something’s in the way
She said
I reached my limit long ago
Nothing stays the same
She said
Let me show you to the door

Can we be honest?
Tell the truth now…
Do memories gone past
Thaw you out at all?
Why so stupid
Pointless gestures?
I know its hard to breathe
When you’re against a wall.

I have focused my whole life
Stretched boundaries till they break
Misery and solitude live again
Where I began…

Something’s in the way
She said
I reached my limit long ago
Nothing stays the same
She said
Let me show you to the door

OMFUG · 05-12-2003, 06:54 AM

(this is my personal best, I think. If you coment on nothign else, please let me know what you think about this one.)

Long time
Since I have believed
I’m over life’s obscenities.
Break
The seals to take back
The rapture the sun left,
A little bit left to comprehend…
Course kept
On my own way
Trying to get back clarity
Settling
For something uttered, cold
The past sublime a circuit dead
Returns a negative…

Wasting
A time apart
Wasting, wasting, fuck.
Wasting
Face the heart (hurt)
Return to mine
Wasting
A time alone
Wasting, wasting, fuck.
Wasting
The place to time
Return to me,
Return to me…

Internal
A conflict divine
Know that I have
To rights, myself.
Reject
What the prophets say
Priceless bits of foma
Washing over fields of us.
Over
Rest a tired fix
Bless all the tricks and mirrors
To bring, atone.
Keeping
The head to the west
Promise of redemption
Buried deep under a shore
The gain is unclear…

Wasting
A time apart
Wasting, wasting, fuck.
Wasting
Face the heart (hurt)
Return to mine
Wasting
A time alone
Wasting, wasting, fuck.
Wasting
The place to time
Return to me,
Return to me…
