all that’s within a man all that’s without him is just a mirror held up to the world the glitter the glamour the pain and misery the future and the past are merely fragmented reflections of the light the stars have cast seize the night seize the day each could be your last soon you’ll disappear like a shadow in the dark

soul messenger
it’s the drip drip drip the relentless pressure that destroys a man the tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow and it’s the pestilence of night that eats at his soul if he has a soul do we really have souls? I don’t know I hope so coz I would be a soul messenger a fragment of the sun
may goodness
open my eyes but not too much just
yet I want to leave some room for future revelations I’m a thousand years sober every day provides the same blue
vista that wipes away my tears and paints my happy head with an abiding love I’m
sick of dark reflections I want to bathe in light
terminal anxiety
jesus weeps time runs out entropy triumphs at the gallop mankind is beaten into third place by the insects and the dinosaurs this is not what we expected as we cruised the highways of our imaginations we were promised paradise and life everlasting but we got the doomsday clock and terminal
anxiety someone better switch off
the big light this party is over and
it’s time to go home to whatever
shit hole we came from

dog town
on my way homeward bound where a cold wind blows over poisoned ground where I was born and where I died coz I die a little each day I spend in this dog town without a friend too many crimes left unsolved too many conflicts unresolved I am alien in this place I’m an abandoned building falling down an empty shell in this dog town
the blackened sky
won’t drag me down coz I
am at odds with this dog town we love and hate our neighbours until the bastards bleed and trust the lord our saviour in
our hour of need I’m the last of
my kind in this dog town they
might bury me here but they’ll
never bring me down

obey
I’m just the one bad apple in a whole barrel of laughs it’s easy to point the finger but baby I’m not the last I’m just a natural man struggling with worldly pain but everything that ever was was exactly where it was meant to be so when they feed me to the beast I shall go uncomplaining I was only obeying orders and I got no strings attached I’ve done some wicked shit and I got nightmares to show for it
I have slain
my enemies with joy burning in my
heart I have secured a seat for
me in some lesser heaven a stone’s throw from here cheek by jowl and worlds apart beatific in my gluttonous hog trough where nobody’s perfect but at least I’m trying I’m just a desiccated leaf on the
blackened bough of the gallows tree
I go where the wind blows following
the dictates of my primitive heart and
if I cannot obey love I shall obey
my fear I will hate myself for it but I shall obey my fear
