Overboard
the hefty weight
he left too late
came crashing down
like crest's of waves
wasting days
to chase the strays
then out to sea
to face the waves
no ocean spray
in open bays
just coldest wind
and choking waves
the hefty weight
he left too late
came crashing down
like crest's of waves

Human Nature
it's not so bad
the mercy killing;
a self-indulgent murder
caught red handed
with an unconscious victim
and a smile
as luck would have it
he survived;
he lives
and the guilt
is punishment enough
for your deed

Dead Last
sometimes it's not that basic
sometimes you have to face it
don't waste it
if it's broke you replace it
every stroke; you won't ace it
but chase it
every chance; embrace it
every race; place it
to finish is the greatest

Ease
when i close my eyes
the disaster stops
and everything wrong
somehow rights itself
the fallen rebuild
the distant return
the close remain
the sad rejoice
and problems resolve
then i wake up
from the pretend calm
to the chaotic mess
where i'm not ok
where i deal with loss
through self-indulgent
and destructive ways
missing the point
creating

life without a little bloodshed
goodtimes without a little vomit
family without a little conflict
love without a little regret
friendship without a little distance
strength without a little fear
death without a little life
is meaningless

White Lies
a shameful dependence
to keep me black
to keep me white
i'm not like you
a shade of grey
the truth of me fades
or it darkens
either way i lied
i'm not like you
a shade of grey
what follows tonight
another day
more torture
i'm not like you
a shade of grey
