Drive
Drive to get somewhere
Drive to get away from there
Driving to control destiny
Driving to flee responsibility
Driven by poetic madness
Driven by melancholic sadness
Drive, deliberately seeking change
Drive, looking for places strange
Driving to avoid a church
Driving on some kind of search
Driven by inebriation
Driven by apocalyptic revelation
Drive
To look at me you’d never guess
My brain is gone, I’m a mess
I walk around and look alive
Some days I even get in my van and drive
I got the cracks in the skull
I got my mind humming on NULL
The uncarved block?
Or simply dumb as a rock
This dreaded woman has gotten inside my head
She gives clues, yet I’m not getting her to bed
I feel like I’m two steps behind
Victim of my damaged and addled mind
I am trying so fucking hard act like a better person
Forget that sometimes it’s better to just be the dude with a hard-on
You can’t wait to be invited to dinner
If you want to be the dirtbag who gets up in ‘er
I’m not saying that to be a jerk
Long lessons have shown me how this works
Show only the least bit respect
Ignore her but treat her like an object
It’s not very pretty
But it’s won a few victories
Now this lil chick is a bit tricky
She’s destroying my mackin’ strategies
I don’t know my left from right
Don’t know the dark from the light
Can’t tell if I’m cursed or blessed
I just know that my damned mind is a mess
Replacing people
As though each were equal
I had friends and I had a wife
Somethings end but I go on with life
Finding all of these new places
Trading old memories for new faces
A little bit of it hurts
I don’t think I have anymore firsts
Me, old and jaded
My mind tired and faded
These new people in my life mid-tour
Some who may, simply, be flavor du jour
I love them as much or more
As everyone who came before
We end up where we need to be
Me with them and them with me
It lasts as long it needs to
Each paying the house its due
Learning from our interactions
Wounded or healed by our actions
It only makes sense
In the end life happens
Good, bad, or indifferent
These folks are the replacements
Missing someone
Ain’t no fun
Having someone to miss
Well, that’s perfect bliss
The Way is the Way
It’s not a game to play
Walk your path
Enjoy your wrath
As a part of the wholeness
Even your vitriol is full of goodness
I like your irration
It fills me with compassion
Here’s a tip
Don’t assume I’m on your trip
I never asked to be anyone’s opportunity
Terribly sorry you are unable to get what you want from me
You don’t need a leader for your group
You need to find a drunkard and give him some soup
And when you fuck me please use some really good lube…
I may not be the droid you seek,
But even I can turn another cheek
XXD
Shit, you want to bitch and whine?
Listen kid, I don’t have the time
Your future is yours, so make it
If you don’t like the world then break it
Don’t act the fool
Floating like a bobber in a pool
The country is under occupation
It has been years in anticipation
Times being as they may
People with something to say
Getting doused in pepper spray
Police trampling people’s rights
Rousting campers from their beds at night
People crushed beneath government’s might
There’s something about flies and honey
I don’t mention it now just be funny
Remember things aren’t always as they seem
But, some things may gotten with ease
If one knows The Way to practice peace
So, if you’re feeling like heading to war
I can’t really tell you what you’ve got in store
But, if want feel hip
Listen to this here tip
If you try, I think you’ll find
It doesn’t always hurt to be kind
Etched into the throne of the most high
Each new beginning shall have no goodbye
Godspeed
Proceed
Upon the shores near which dynamite seethes
An impression of you in which Eternity Breathes
and the regard with which you embrace your common man
Would be obsolete if it were up To time to stand.
Whose to say what we’ve become
A race of trials over Bachelors of tribulation begun
Seed the wisdom of ferocious vision Unity Strength peace love
Dissociation
Mental Isolation
Convinced of my insanity
Having trouble with vanity
Though the voices be kind
I’ve definitely lost my mind
Fighting to get it back
Five gone two left to attack
Using wit and guile
And my own secret smile
With a bit too much pride
I write my name on the side
Tell them exactly what I’ll do
It works each time, this shit ain’t new
So it goes with my personal exorcism
I embrace this mental and spiritual schism
Me and them both
We were all do for some personal growth
Growth through isolation
Growth through dissociation
I stole the lizard’s diamond
He held it tight like his own hymen
The greatest of thieves
Bats calls me “Jeeves”
I took what can only be given
I took it with trickery, deceit and diversion
I snuck up on a monk
And rifled his trunk
Took the philosopher’s stone
The old alchemist’s favorite bone
Or on Simon’s Street
The Diamonds from the soles of his feet
Don’t know what to do with this boon
I already up and swallowed the moon
They call it a Sutra
I think the word basket, would suit ya’
The lizard’s secret force
Is about to go open source
Without the constraint of a guru vow
I can give away all of his voodoo now
I stole the lizard’s diamond
Now the rest of ya’ll can have ’em
