War Paint

War paint ready

Hallucinogenic dream

Dancing on the edge

Recycling the American dream

Looking at the Wailing Wall

Weeping at the destruction

Another derogatory pilgrimage

Polarizing subversive secrets

For the people

Oversees the people

Flouts it on this

Our unconscious society

In the shadows

Standard operating procedure

Material for Colbert

Another risqué joke

Running from death

Running from death

As fast as I can

Choking on Angel hair

The President dancing on a string

A puppet to a dictator

Bombastic rhetoric

Playing Russian roulette

Like there is no tomorrow

In a game no one wins

Running from the reaper

As fast as I can

Choking on Angel hair

A president dangling on a thread

Impeachment in the air

Russia Putin the Hack

Playing a game of insanity

All the guns are loaded

Armageddon grins

Running from death

As fast as I can

Embracing it in the end

silent decay

Calm memories

Dancing towards the light

Trapped by society

Conjecture and what is right

Trying to be normal

How people judge

Egregious remorse

Listening to the silent decay

Just ran out of words one day

This life dying calm

Dancing towards the light

Trapped by society

Conjecture and doing what is right

All they do

Is sit and judge

Listening to silent decay

life slowly withers away

May two

So long ago

I was DOA on arrival

All the nice things

People had to say

Some even sincere

Rental tux on

Strange in a strange land

Don't forget to breathe

Even though it no longer matters

The years falls away

Like meteors from the sky

Landing where bugs crawl

I was DOA

The peopls looked

But didn't not see

Oh that  glassy eyed stare

Going through the motions

Their actions in slow motion

Call it in, he has coded

The charade if every since May 2nd

As the jet planes play 

X's and O's in the big blue

Vapor and forget

Planes cross the sky

Costing more then me

leaving behind vapor

Playing X's and O's against the blue

A trail they soon forget

tissue

Scar tissue built up
Emotionalist 

Laughs come easy

Humorous giggle

Love is too hard

Can't trust my heart

Words that smile

There are no more tears

Loneliness is a place

Comfortable isolation

Chaos is somewhere else

Miss it, a little 

Don't chase anybody 

Can't find what your not looking for

Eyes wide awake shout

There are no more tears

Will not trust

Can't trust

The sound of rain 

Cleanse the soul

Distraction of the day 

Listening to misery on the news

Misery ubiquitous 

Pain feels alive

Words from the past

Don't let people see your pain

Words from yesterday 

Patience severed up cold 

Pain feels alive

Eyes wide awake 

Chaos wants revenge

Deception lurking near

Scar tissue builds new

Rain cleanses 

Laugh come easy

Distracting regret 

Smile come easy

No more tears

flickering memories

Images in the fire

Flickering in flames

Reflecting memories

Cause the colour

Of my skin

Rejected by pretenders

Turn your back on me

Reflections in the flames

Mothers keeping score

The damage I have done

I feel their anger

The hate drips off

Another stranger

In the dark

Burning in the flickering light

Reflecting mirror

Images dancing in the flames

Turn your back

Rejected by pretenders

The pain is real

No plans for the future

Watch the flames devour

Flickering moon light

A stranger looks back

Who did I think I was

Flickering in the flames

Memories and no meaning

into the darkness

Driving into darkness

The life I thought I had

Nobody from nowhere

Meaning nothing to no one

Leaving nothing but shadows

Just another sunset

The footsteps on my soul

Every rain drop

A little regard

Washed away

The fire burns out

Tomorrow to late
