I’m drinking beer for the taste
I’m drinking whiskey for the effect
It’s 6 am and I haven’t gone to bed yet
Some of my friends think I should quit
I’m tired of hearing all that shit
Pour another round
Come out around 10
We’ll drink these demons out of our heads
I stole the old man’s whiskey and rye
To pour on top of all the monsters inside
I’m drinking beer for the taste
I’m drinking whiskey for the effect
It’s 7 am and I haven’t gone to bed yet
There’s some things I can’t admit
Maybe I don’t give a shit
Pour us another round
Maybe someday it’ll catch up to me
Maybe someday I’ll start to care
Sit down and have a drink with me
We’ll act like no one else is here
I’m drinking beer for the taste
I’m drinking whiskey for the effect
It’s 8 am and I haven’t gone to bed yet
Most of my friends do the same shit
Pass the bottle get another hit
Pour another….

Buried With Children

Have you ever wondered what it feels like when you die?
I do, I keep it bottled up inside
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Doesn’t matter in the end
When you’re already dead
You gave up hope
You gave up time
Gave up your identity to stand in line
That’s not for me
I roll my eyes
I held my breath
While my boat capsized
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to be alive?
I know it feels like you’re trapped inside
Your own head can be a maze
Running circles for days and days
Have you ever wondered what it feels lie to fly
Without your wings clipped soaring in the sky
You can call me Peggy
Peggy when you call me
You can call me Al

I wait alone
I wait alone
For a place to call my own
I wait alone
I wait alone
For a girl to call my own
When there’s darkness in your life
When there’s only cracks of light
With the whiskey beside your bed
& the fucked up thoughts inside your head
She walks alone
She walks alone
To the corner for a pack of bones
She walks alone
She walks alone
Spewing fire & tears of smoke
There is darkness in her life
There are zero cracks of light
With the bourbon inside her head
You’re just another man in her bed
Because
For one night only
You won’t feel lonely
There’s no place you rather be
Than slitting your wrists hanging
From your closet drifting off to eternal sleep
It’s not love
It’s not lust
It’s that you just want to feel like you’re home
But until our hearts align...
I wait alone
I wait alone
like a king without a throne
I’ll die alone
I’ll die alone
A single coffin & this simple poem
There is darkness in my life
There is zero cracks of light
No reflection in the rivers edge
Would I rather be alive or dead?
No place you rather be
Another day I wait alone
Another night because…

I never thought I would feel this
After the ash filled winter buried all our dreams
Dreams of good times in the sunshine
Hangin’ with friends and family drinking by the pool
I tell Richie to call up Tommy
Haven’t seen his face since graduation day
Cause we’re getting older
Fake assumptions of where we’re supposed to be
But its fucking summer
So grab your bathing suit and check your problems at the door
Can’t bring us down
Gotta find the light & stand your ground
Can’t bring us down
Altogether now, altogether loud
That July there was a heat wave
Watching the hot steam rise from the pavement on the streets
On the 4th you met your soul mate
Under the fire lit skies all stars aligned that night
One month later you were married
A shotgun wedding bash with friends by your side
Look back on the past
All the memories fade to black yeah
New year
Same fears
Just make them stop
Hey!
Time enslaves us
Can’t save us
We’ll do anything
To make this last forever
August ending
Winters just around the bend
Is it almost over?
Is it almost summer?

Dad, I'm a punk rocker
There’s no growing up.
Just growing bitter.
With a crumbling economy and bills overdue
I find solace and peace with the dreams I pursue
There's no right or wrong
I can’t sleep at night
No easy road to satiate this appetite
But I try
There’s no easy way to take me out alive
Last night I scraped my eyes out
Just to see where you’re coming from
This world is a fucked up place
And I know we can change it
Yes I know we can change
And we won’t stop screaming
At the top of our lungs for something we believe in
Until our hearts stop beating
If we all stand together
We can make this life better
If we try

I’m so fucking tired
This bed is my coffin
Please wrap my head in these sheets
I just want to sleep
Even if that just means
I’m going 6 feet down down down
Oh fuck I’m dead
I don’t really see the difference
I was alive with no life
Now my future looks bright
Even if that’s a lie
I’m dead with a chance to be alive
It takes a lifetime to sink in
There’s no easy way out of this
Fuck this world, wish me well
I’m driving the van to hell
Stop take a second
Let me wipe the tears from your eyes
Life is worth it
Yeah it sucks sometimes
But we survive
Cause we're alive
All you had to do is open your eyes
And look at the sky
And see the clouds are all gone
I found hope in this song
Now my future is bright
I’m awake and I fucken feel alive

War And Piece Of Mind

Day into Night / Night into Day
living a life of complacency
Anxiety takes over me
And cripples me down to the floor
Night into Day / Day into Night
It all blends together with no end in sight
What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be
Normal not fucked in the head?
Swallow this pill
It'll make you believe
Just 3 times a day
just wait and see
it'll change who you are
you'll no longer hide but will the alter person inside
Remember to breathe / Take a deep breath
Exhale all your worries / Have no regrets
A leap of faith is all you need to move on and never look back
Take a deep breath / Remember to breathe
Heart palpations / I'm weak in the knees
Fighting through this so I can be “normal” not fucked in the head
Try all you can
to make them believe
an image portraying normalcy
they don’t understand
What they can not see the
war inside of me

I don’t know anything about you anymore
And I don’t know if I want to
Time has past and it’s knocked you on your ass
You beat yourself up
Into submission
They say that every cloud has a silver lining
But I think that they’re fucking lying
And we could get you back on your feet
If only you were trying
You don’t know what you’ve done
You were always a loaded gun
You don’t know what you’ve done
You’ve gone and used up all your fun
You never gave us a reason
You never showed any care
You gave us heart attacks worrying
It’s not fair
You paved yourself a road of black tar
So large you could spot it from a far
Never thought anything in life could be so hard
But you fought to prove me wrong

Sleepwalk Me Home

I lose all control when the night takes hold of me
And I’m scaring myself and I’m scaring my friends
Maybe this one night
I won’t stop breathing
Maybe I’ll be alright
Eventually my heart slows down
Put my feet on the ground
Eventually the room stops spinning
I’ll be grinning
I’ll be asking for more
Pick me up off the floor
Like a werewolf the full moon is out
Howling at the stars
As dry as a drought
I won’t bite
Just keep your distance
Sleepwalk me home tonight

You showed us how to live
And you gave us all you could give
Choking slowly on passing time
Rarely life has reason and rhyme
Childhood best friend
I turned to you and said
I wanna know what we’d be like today
Never again will I hear the things you would say
In the meantime, we’ll all breakdown
And in the meantime we’ll all breakdown
No defeat in your stride
No slowing down, no giving in
Time escaped us, it fucking fled from us
I wish that I could have it back
I wanna know what you’d be like today
Never again will I hear the things we might say
In the meantime we’ll all breakdown
And in the meantime we’ll all breakdown
HEY HEY HEY HEY!
I wanna know what we’d be like today
If once again I could hear what you would say
In the mean time we’ll just carry on
And in the meantime we have to carry on…
I know I’ve come to the end, goodbye my friend
Can’t shake these hospital woes, in the meantime
Do you remember?
We sang along to the sad songs together
I know I’ve come to the end, goodbye to my friend.
Can’t take these hospital beds,
Maybe I’m better off…
