in shadows

 

lately, I’m not really there      I’m not really anywhere       sometimes I’m not myself      I mutate into something else      sometimes I’m formed in the shadows        exposed under sodium light      I can’t seem to shake the feeling      that it all could happen again      I’d be down on the killing floor       dragging my ball and chain      through hospital corridors      desperate to escape    finding no way home

armchair revolutionary

 

fuck this for a game of soldiers     fifty years on the treadmill     just to make some other cunt filthy      no, I’m sick of their bourgeois heroes      I’m sick of their holy books    they want to stunt your imagination     with their prisons, churches and schools   

well, I’m opting out     I’ve simply had enough     I’m an armchair revolutionary now      hooked to the silver screen     I think I broke the world     I didn’t know what I doing     I was only killing time      when this notion came to me…      I need to escape this room       and smash my fucking TV

Curious

 

I just want to know       what the hell is going on?     they say the world will end today      it’s not before time      this world is a sick joke      but then, you reap what you sow      and we’ve sown a lot     I don’t suppose I really care      but I’m curious     I just want to know      is this all there is?     I just want to know

with our thoughts we make the world

 

there’s so much propaganda now    black propaganda and filth      you’ve got stomach a banquet of shit        every time you watch the news       we don’t need hatred    we don’t need rulers      the power they take from the people        will return to the people     coz nothing is permanent       not even our troubles      there is no meaning to any of this      there is only the desire for life    with our thoughts we make the world    the way is not in the sky     the way is in the mind

Kiss

 

I like your attitude     fuck the rules     you’ll never reach monkey heaven      but you’re not being fooled     by sugar coated rhetoric     you’re not paralyzed by wishful thinking      coz you’re an individual      and you do as you choose     

you have desires     that outstrip this world       perhaps you were meant     for somewhere else      some other world where you are free     you don’t talk to an empty sky      coz you already know the truth        heaven was in that first kiss     but hell was in the last

the power dynamic

 

change will come    through the mouth of a gun     the truth is a bullet       the mind is a gun       and a gun is power       as money is power     and beauty is power      we like power     we can’t get enough        all relationships are based on power      and resistance to power       coz power ennobles       while the fear of losing power corrupts       it’s that terrible dynamic     that measures out the conflict      that constitutes our lives

inertia

 

paint a picture of this    emotionally squalid     got the fear on now     something chronic     but I have music inside me      so I’m not that far gone      not a damp eye in the house     must be the season of cynics    I’m too tired to make adjustments this late in the deal

lately, I’m riddled with doubt     and what if it’s bad?     but what if it’s good?   but what if it’s bad?     and what if they laugh?     so what if they do?    it’s the bloody psychogenesis     of crippling inertia      my head is black with trouble      and I’m weary of the conflict

sober

I quit for the sake of my sanity       but I soon found out      you have to quit every day        maybe I’ll quit quitting    no, don’t tempt me      don’t get me started      once I get started      I don’t know how to stop       I’m not a temperate man       I’m a greedy bastard      who cannot get enough

It’s not easy staying sober      but it’s so much harder staying drunk       staying drunk takes dedication        an appetite for destruction     the will  to live as a fucking pariah,  a leper and a bum       no, I no longer have the strength       to deal with so much fun

chimp

 

he don't know who he is

coz he’s had a hit

that's knocked

him fucking senseless

so he does his business

with a brownian motion

he’s erratic and addled

dazed and confused

he ain’t got no magic

stashed in his locker

but he feels like a hero

in his own dime novel

and not just another

chimp in the zoo

whispers

 

I felt I owed you some words      but what’s the point?     they wouldn’t ring true     they’d make me like you      I’m too lazy now       to speak the truth      they say there’s beauty in truth       even when it hurts      I’m not so sure       the truth can be ugly      it can cut like a knife  

does the lie you believe become the truth?     people tell lies to look more attractive    but mostly they just get uglier     I heard what you said      that I wasn’t worth knowing     but it was said from a distance      so I might have been dreaming

the cloak of madness

 

a world without madness     would be a mediocrity    but when I realised what a sick, awful joke the world is    I went stark raving mad   and madness begets madness   so soon I was lost    insanity is no escape from reality        it’s an overdose of reality       isolation, loneliness, desperation and rage       all of these are real        the whole world is mad       and in a world of madness       perhaps only the crazy are truly sane      

I have worn the cloak of madness         madness that wore me down      it took over my mind     and co-opted every action        my messianic highs, my diabolical lows     were as inclement as the weather        they guided my tongue  and my actions       they damned me as they exalted me    but I glimpsed eternity         and thrilled to uncover my great secret       we are all as gods       we are all of us insane       only some of us know it      only some bear the pain
