Her Silence Speaks Volumes She sits alone in her room and stares out the window Viewing the world with silent disdain Nobody seems to care of her sorrow Nobody knows the cause of her pain But her silence speaks volumes Should you read between the lines As you use your half-arsed ologies To analyse her crimes Her silence spea...

A Hard Act To Follow Forgive us for our stumblings, if we seem unsure Forgive us if you're watching that our efforts seem so poor Forgive us if our venom seems a little tame Above all this forgive us if our excuses seem so lame It makes us sick to swallow that you should be here today You're a hard act to follow, but we'll t...

This Time Last Year Once when I was young, I felt so afraid I cried myself to sleep as to my God I prayed But as I grew older, His light seemed to dim I walked down the valley on a road paved with sin Everywhere that I go, every place that I look The truth is told by liars and the law run by crooks Every person I know who ha...

Out On The Internet Out on the Internet, a new day dawns The beast on the East Coast stirs & yawns Fully awake now, it's been refreshed It feels a hunger for nubile flesh Out on the Internet, where they keep it clean A middle aged man in a chat room swears he's seventeen He looks out for the lonely, then he makes a play Out ...

Those that you misunderstood... More..

She Stalks Like a Fox She stalks like a fox, with twilight eyes that see right through me And with trembling lips which promise things that never can be She walks in the night with a deftness of stumbling that becomes her And her fear-marked face haunts my dreams as I slumber But I do, wouldn't anyone, wouldn't you, love her...

How You Doing For Money? How you doing for money, do you need a hand? Maybe I can help out, I've got together half a grand Tell me how the kids are, do they talk of me? How you doing for money, I know nothing comes for free How you doing for money now the times are lean? When you recall comfort, is it like a dream? You know ... More..

Girl of Troy Should you feel your mind is broken & you can't think straight no more When you try to speak your words are strewn across the floor When you choke with regrets & dwell on what might once have been I know what it's like, won't you come & talk to me When your reflection just shows you your hopelessness...

Celeno It was a place I'd never been before As I moved across the crowded floor I stood back to let the barman pass As he wiped the blood from a broken glass There she sat, as cool as they come Tracing her name with a severed thumb Celeno As I watched her through the smoky haze Her sunken eyes transfixed my gaze She drew bre...

Home Made Flag Jacob goes out to war With a flag cut out on his bedroom floor He's going to fight the terrorists Never thought things would come to this His mother cries & stays in bed Wishes they'd take her instead He walks tall with a hand-stitched star To make a date with Hezbollah Esau picks up his sword To do his duty b...
