1. REPETITION


Sit there pathetic
Admire myself
Pass offers of great sex
No threat the evil goes

Gone

Pig Fuck your eyes wide
Once lead, gone shy
Not a thing in common
She looks just like a boy

Boy



2. RUDE


Dragged behind someone like habit
Say complete, say sycophantic

Rude

Suffocate wonīt let you breathe
Could be worse I might never leave

Rude



3. BAD MOOD


Itīs no bad mood
Itīs a look you thought might kill but
You knew better

Wake up cold
Do you know youīre not dead
Make the same mistake
Youīve lost your head

Rearrange events again
Let them suit your next complaint

Self-absorbed
Youīre all wrapped up
So deep inside
Just think bland thoughts



4. SINATRA


I canīt move her
Obsessed with protection
This is a bad idea
She needs affection
What, me?

Drive around town forced to talk
Pass that church again
Whereīs a parking spot
Itīs Sinatraīs world
She just lives here
I hate everything as much as
I hate me

Whatīs the best for me?

She doesnīt see me
I donīt care
Just move around some and
Fix your stare
I had more fun
Took half the time
Cost three bucks, buy a magazine

Whatīs the best for me?



5. FBLA


Sympathetic
The angry and young
Fellowship did stress virile and
So well hung

Down and right
Did it wrong
Self-obsessed
Time to kill youīre so depressed

Presence that wonīt
Complicate



6. BLACKTOP


Your self control might be a muscle spasm
New direction isnīt everlasting though
Grope for straws youīve got to plan
This week
Then the crutch dissolves
When she walks too sweet

Ration of blacktop on the slope of
Nowhere
Came out to greet the unresponsive
Stare
Turn green with envy over something
You missed
You didnīt know what when you
Fell down in it

Walk on top, you run beneath
The blacktop spreads
The blacktop spreads



7. DISTRACTED


Consolation donīt account for it
Healing helpless want to look
Like this
Bet distraction whips it out of you
Pay to see it suck you down
There too

Donīt walk

One fuck now boost my self-esteem
One weak not a word sounds comforting
Beg forgiveness started back again
One for me said dig it deep
And then...

You walk



8. MAKE ROOM


Embrace the motivation goes
Passed off as unintentional
One look showed you had to think
Eat this and say it doesnīt reek

Right

Make room you come with open arms
Talk fast before the greeting starts
Incensed you know you need t know
Whose scene you made you didnīt though

Sad

Taste of the month
Voice for the cause
Make room you come
With open arms



9. MURDER


Tight security
Looks that challenge
Savage end aid food chain balance
Even the fabulous canīt avoid
A random attack to pass a
Boring night

Blue habit sap my strength
Fleet of dump trucks line my street
Bludgeoned to death or shot in the head
Murder down the hall
That green monument wonīt prevent death

No one said, no oneīs safe
No one said, no oneīs safe
No one said, no oneīs safe
No one, no oneīs safe
