Arson and a Suicide

He carries the can of gasoline into the house
He looks at afar from the place he once knew
The bright walls of red and blue no longer hold their hue
They all fade to grey
The man prays to a god he knows isn..t there
But he checks one last time
As he walks up the stirs that grudgingly hold his frame
He has tried to forget but time heightens his pain
He glances at the can, his gallons of liquid hope
And breathes in the toxic fumes
He goes to the room upstairs
Where it all first began and he sits in the center staring out the window
Then he begins to cry, uncontrollable sobbing into his hands
Until he dries his tears with shaking and shivering hands
Much work is left to be done
He unscrews the cap and watches it pour to the floor
It spreads out from the center until it reaches the door
He watches as it soaks into the room
Absorbed by the wood that has retained his pain for so long
He walks out of the room
His relief flowing onto the floors behind him
Down the stairs and out the door
Into the gloom
He stares at the stars the spelled out his doom
And lights a match
To chase away the dark that lies around him like a fog
And surrounds his heart with a mist that never goes away
He notices that the day has begun to come
The match drops from his hands
The fiery trail brings joy into his hardened heart
As it races into the house on it..s path of destruction and ruin
He stands and watches beneath his favorite tree
As the flames slowly rise to meet the rising sun
Then he palms the metal in his pocket
Feeling its power in his hands
As he pulls it out and blows his pain away
It is all just another day

Time to make a stand

Falling, falling but I never land
I take them on with my hands
As I have done from my birth
Fighting for air, water and earth

The light doesn't penetrate these depths
Our eyes adjust to the dark
Always alert
Always sharp
Looking for the place to leave our everlasting mark

It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Until their screams you can no longer stand

Escape back into your head
To let the scars heal
So that you can once again
See and feel
Your life is now more real
How can you deal

As the sun sinks into the dust
You realize your fears are gone
The night brings cover from the light
Now you can rise up with all your might

It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Until their screams you can no longer stand

In the center of the city
You hear the music begin to arise
Your people have awoken
The culture has yet to die

But too soon it's all over
Your people bleed into the streets
And you know you will have to fight alone
For yet another week

It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Come on
It's time to make a stand
Every woman, child, and man
Take them on, use your hands
Until their screams you can no longer stand
You are man

Clouds and Squirrels

Flying high above the world
Watching the clouds and the squirrels
As they go about their day
The clouds float and the squirrels run
But they both get their objective done
As they go along their way

The world moves round
The earth dipping up and down
But they easily take each change
As they wait for their life to get full
For soon they will feel the irresistible pull
To let their bodies return to the ground
But they still drift easily around
Until their final drop

The sun drops and the moon rises
But never fails to surprise
The ones who dread their demise
With every passing day
They hurry to do their chores
Dread ever being bored
Until their dying breath

The Dealer's Wife

He was born on the streets
And lived on his toes
He knew the hiding spots
And all the little black holes
He dealt his pot until his fingers grew cold
Then he moved on to snow
They're higher than they've ever been
But he's always low

She followed him home
Like a rat finds trash
In the darkest holes
Strung out with her pretty mouth
She makes for a fun time
But she is never really alive
When she is low the world is not right
When she's high the world is all light
But the real world was never her home
But it became her tome

After he was shot at the street corner at noon
He retreated until he could move no more
And then he moved some more
But he could not make it home
His last thoughts in the gathering gloom
Was the girl he had left on the floor of his room

Crazy Woman

What you want I don't know
But I'm gonna have to let you go
You're too much trouble
You're too much fun
With you around I don't get no work done

Crazy woman, You drive me insane
You walk around sweet as sugarcane
But as soon as I bite, all I get is pain
Crazy woman, You're driving me insane
Yeah!

You invite me in your bed
And then you kick me out
You tease me all night
And then you leave me standing in doubt
I don't know what it is you're all about
But you're a

Crazy woman, You drive me insane
You walk around sweet as sugarcane
But as soon as I bite, all I get is pain
Crazy woman, You're driving me insane

I want to eat you up
Leave you burning in the sky
Let your ashes fall down
And make all the women cry
I want to love you (love you) until you die
Cause you're a

Crazy woman, You drive me insane
You walk around sweet as sugarcane
But as soon as I bite, all I get is pain
Crazy woman, You're driving me insane

Crazy woman, You drive me insane
