Once more through the merri-go-round
My heart and head beginning to pound
My soul cracks with every sound
Once I'm lost I'll never be found
Just once more through the merri-go-round

Dark
Dark minds reveal dark solutions
Tainting the white with red and black
Creating an illusion masked in reality
No escape No chance No turning back

Merda-testa
Short and squat with a cute smushed face
like she caught the car during the chase.
An imaginary tail wags in the air
she can romp and play without a care.
Merda-testa by thy name
We may not be one and the same
But you still include us in your game
She has no clue about life's oblivion,
but when she plays she's wiser than anyone.
She may not know her days wont last her
but she lives them fuller than her masters.
Merda-testa by thy name
your mortality is brief but you don't complain
you pass your days without blame
They scoff and mock her innocent mind
as they trudge through their daily grind
They dimiss her with hardly a glance
then wish they could give her life a chance
Merda-testa by thy name
You laugh as we live life in vain
How do you ignore the pain?

Blank
Blank messages and blank minds.
Everything is erased in time.
Clean the muck and clean the grime.
Soon there is nothing left but rhyme.

Gingham Whales
I know there's something wrong with me.
I know not to believe everything I see.
I know my mind likes to run a little too free.
But could you just make the gingham whales shut up?
I'm not quite sure what to believe,
of all these things my mind can weave.
The black always beckons me to leave.
Just make the gingham whales shut up.
I never know how long I'll last.
I can feel my mind slipping fast.
Screw my future I don't know my past.
Just shut the gingham whales up!

Fallen For You
Earthly angel from afar.
Looking at a shooting star.
What she wished for is unknown,
but a light smile can be shown.
She turns to you with ethereal grace.
A look of shock washed on her face.
In a flash of joy she shatters through,
the celestial veil that kept her from you.
Her halo dims and her wings like a dove
begin to wilt and cake with her blood.
She abandoned perfection, the world she knows,
and by the power of the stars it was you she chose.

Monochromatic
Your monochromatic life
Of black and white
Every shade and hue
Is just gray to you
Living fast in the past
But it just can't last
Because with life is strife
And you just can't hide
From the ride
Come on in with the tide
Just fight the good fight
Because no matter how much you try
This shit just won't fly
Of black and white
Every shade and hue
Is just gray to you
Living fast in the past
But it just can't last
Because with life is strife
And you just can't hide
From the ride
Come on in with the tide
Just fight the good fight
Because no matter how much you try
This shit just won't fly
Point
It had a point
At some point
But has no point no longer
Without a point
At this point
The point is curiously stronger
At some point
But has no point no longer
Without a point
At this point
The point is curiously stronger
Breath
I stand
Alone
Holding
My breath
He flows by me
I lose my grip
My mind races past him
My mouth gaps when he smiles
He never sees my stare
Then he walks by
I breathe deeply
Gather my soul
And go
Hoping
To speak
Next time
We meet
Alone
Holding
My breath
He flows by me
I lose my grip
My mind races past him
My mouth gaps when he smiles
He never sees my stare
Then he walks by
I breathe deeply
Gather my soul
And go
Hoping
To speak
Next time
We meet
Completely Loveless
I live my life
Like everyday counts
And though I find strife
I always bounce
You can't control me
You can't console me
You can't ignore me
Why do you adore me?
I don't know how
I made you love me now
But I can never return
The love that you earn
If I said I was sorry
For making you worry
I would be lying
So why are you trying?
What I need you to know is
No matter how hard you try this
You just can't harness
The completely loveless
Like everyday counts
And though I find strife
I always bounce
You can't control me
You can't console me
You can't ignore me
Why do you adore me?
I don't know how
I made you love me now
But I can never return
The love that you earn
If I said I was sorry
For making you worry
I would be lying
So why are you trying?
What I need you to know is
No matter how hard you try this
You just can't harness
The completely loveless
Where I am from
I am from a life worn town
Old and dilapidated from the generations
Once a thriving place and the peak for its time
Now only a shell of its former glory
I children of its builders still remain
Telling stories of their golden youth
The quantity of life, the quality of things
All symbols of the downward spiral
Everything was better in this town’s glossed past
Too bad I never got to see it
Old and dilapidated from the generations
Once a thriving place and the peak for its time
Now only a shell of its former glory
I children of its builders still remain
Telling stories of their golden youth
The quantity of life, the quality of things
All symbols of the downward spiral
Everything was better in this town’s glossed past
Too bad I never got to see it
Leaving Me
I looked into the cluster of trees
The wind rustling the leaves above me
The woodland’s call soothing my soul
I gazed along the rolling hills
The seasons forgotten death
Littered with the life of a new dawn
The air about me was gentle
I was comfortable here
This was my home
The wind began to move in large gusts
Thunder shouting in the distance
Protesting my recent decision
With a sigh I turn
The objections biting my eyes
I take a step towards the clearing
Not ready, but willing, to face my new fate
The wind rustling the leaves above me
The woodland’s call soothing my soul
I gazed along the rolling hills
The seasons forgotten death
Littered with the life of a new dawn
The air about me was gentle
I was comfortable here
This was my home
The wind began to move in large gusts
Thunder shouting in the distance
Protesting my recent decision
With a sigh I turn
The objections biting my eyes
I take a step towards the clearing
Not ready, but willing, to face my new fate
Night Thoughts
During the day I manage to keep busy
Playing games, doing work, watching TV
But at night is when I feel the most alone
Getting thoughts I wish I could run away from
I stay up late sometimes just trying not to cry
To sleep I try to fool myself with a lie
I say there is nothing I can do
I know deep down that it just isn't true
Then day comes again and I'm fine
I do everything I can to occupy my time
But on nights when I struggle to sleep
My mind wanders to thoughts so deep
I feel like I'm falling
And no one can hear me calling
I try so hard at night not to get depressed
These weren't the feelings I had once expressed
I just don't want all my emotion
To start any major commotion
So I keep them to myself most of the time
Until I can express them through rhyme
Playing games, doing work, watching TV
But at night is when I feel the most alone
Getting thoughts I wish I could run away from
I stay up late sometimes just trying not to cry

I just don't want all my emotion
To start any major commotion
So I keep them to myself most of the time
Until I can express them through rhyme
Shattered
The light of my heart is shattered
As a cloud rolls over the moon
I tried to fight like it mattered
But it will be over soon
I lost myself to this entity
A creature I can't understand
I know at last it will take me
Thus ending my life as a man
As a cloud rolls over the moon
I tried to fight like it mattered
But it will be over soon
I lost myself to this entity
A creature I can't understand
I know at last it will take me
Thus ending my life as a man
Imagination
I seem to have the strangest dreams
Things never thought, never done, never seen
My dreams often influence me
I know they're the trigger of my creativity
So the reason I write is rather plain
If I didn't I would go completely insane
Things never thought, never done, never seen
My dreams often influence me
I know they're the trigger of my creativity
So the reason I write is rather plain
If I didn't I would go completely insane
Swimming Mainstream
we all go to the same stores
to buy what makes us who we are
we all think our lives would be better
if we looked like that movie star
we’ve all figured out what we should be
even if it means we forget who we are
we all say individuality
is our thing
but I’m here to tell you
every one’s still the same
no matter how you act or dress
we’re all swimming mainstream

Last Thoughts
The short lived days of dismal glory
are withheld in this story.
The golden days of his youth
were slipping by through the truth.
It started one October night
he fell on his death bed filled with fright.
He stayed there shaking, wondering, thinking
why he wasted his life away by drinking.
Drugs and alcohol ruled his soul
now they were beginning to take their toll.
He stole what he needed to get what he wanted.
Now all these things were here the haunt him.
The things he’d done the things he’d seen
were all coming back to him this Halloween.
He’d lied, cheated, murdered, and stolen.
Now he had no one to comfort and hold him.
He lay there fading and knew that day;
his life had always been slowly draining away.
His eyes opened but it was much too late,
he knew he could now never escape his fate.
He mumbled these words knowing it was the best he could do.
“Kids, don’t let this happen to you.”

Friends for Eternity
friends for eternity
no one can take that away
friends for eternity
and we’ll always stay
friends for eternity
because we promised to be
friends for eternity
just you and me
no one can take that away
friends for eternity
and we’ll always stay
friends for eternity
because we promised to be
friends for eternity
just you and me
Ode to Adventuring
Goin' on adventure
Runnin' all around
You'd think with all this armor
I'd make a lot of sound
Let me tell you somethin'
Somethin' you should know
I'm doin' all this runnin'
'Cause I'm too impatient to go slow
I'm an adventurer
Walkin' into people houses
and takin' all their stuff
I'm an adventurer
No one asks me questions
Guess they think I'll beat 'em up
Dashin' through the town
Leavin' even footprints in the snow
Askin' lots of questions
These people shouldn't know
You'd think they wouldn't tell me
Since I'm covered in goblin blood
I guess so long as I'm still helping
Just like they all expect I should
I'm an adventurer
I'm speedy in my armor
Though I'm really not sure how
I'm an adventurer
Guards don't find me suspicious
Even with all my weapons out
Goin' to the tavern
Drinkin' lots of ale
Place seems to be pretty hapinin'
Even though the drinks are stale
I'd ask the barkeep why
Their drinks taste just like crap
He'd just say "Go to the cellar
and kill a bunch of rats."
I'm an adventurer
Been through so many zombies
They no longer have a smell
I'm an adventurer
I'm popular at parties
'Cause of the stories I can tell
Runnin' all around
You'd think with all this armor
I'd make a lot of sound
Let me tell you somethin'
Somethin' you should know
I'm doin' all this runnin'
'Cause I'm too impatient to go slow
I'm an adventurer
Walkin' into people houses
and takin' all their stuff
I'm an adventurer
No one asks me questions
Guess they think I'll beat 'em up
Dashin' through the town
Leavin' even footprints in the snow
Askin' lots of questions
These people shouldn't know
You'd think they wouldn't tell me
Since I'm covered in goblin blood
I guess so long as I'm still helping
