video game killed the rockstar
The New Suicide
Romeo and Juliet are spinning in their graves
cowards taking innocents no one left to save
common sense replaced by tech
morality gone askew
lost inside our first world mirror
post-modern nightmare come true
God help us all
welcome to the civil war
nowhere left to hide
boredom to the point of murder
the new suicide
Romeo and Juliet are spinning in their graves
cowards taking innocents no minds are going to change
video game killed the rockstar nothing new to say
originally gone extinct
genre fades away
welcome to the civil war
no one gets out alive
spoiled to the point of murder
the new suicide
are you sure you’re on the right side?
Coincidence or Miracle
we hurt the ones we love
but still can rise above
our own worst enemies,
you and me
we all need something to struggle for
we all need a reason to fight
it’s hard to know what side you’re on
when you can’t see the line
how do we know which way to go?
coincidence or miracle?
an artist makes a painting
why would he just walk away
must have had something to communicate
must have had something to say
I Love You, I’m Crazy
watching you sleep again
I kiss your feet, your forehead
you chose me forever
I chose you, my better…
I love you, my Mary
I love you, my baby,
I love you, not maybe
I love you, I’m crazy
no poem, painting or song comes close to saying everything i want to you
every day I wake up next to you, I am the luckiest crazy fucking Coo-Coo
more than any words could say
more than any of this silly shit could ever say
Unsung
how many of us are out. there screaming into the wind?
so much to say and so much to play an no one to listen
if I could be the one to say it all again i would be you and you would hear me listen
and and as we stand upon this podium so holy, so lonely
OK, here I go, back to the vacuum with nothing to lose
I know I’ve spun this tale before
if you’re here then… who cares anymore
and after all it’s my own blood in my viens
I’m not hurting anybody anyway
( well, we’ll see, well maybe
la la lee lo )
Time is Still…
hold on
time is still so fast
size is still so vast
life is still so strong
memory is all we have
time is still so slow
size is still so small
life is still so meek
so fragile and we hold on
hold on
galaxies of memory
galaxies swirl around of me
hold on
Mary, Baby
Mary, my baby
Mary, let’s have a baby
and we will picnic in the blue
Goodbye Guitar
these pagan roots have shown me much
bleeding the fire and dance the moon
time and size I will not always touch
all things must face their doom
I spill my guts upon this stage
rolled the dice and took the risk
participated in the end of and age
the podium I will not miss
goodbye renaissance
goodbye guitar
goodbye rock n roll
goodbye avant garde
Blueberry
I no longer miss the boy I was
now it’s all about the boy we have
Mary, my love, we can picnic in the blue sky
Mary, my love, it’s just X and you and I
