Stubble on my face I refuse to shave
Scratchy chin makes me rave
Nothings fucking wrong
I don’t need to be saved
Red hot fire poker taken to the grave
We’re all goddamn slaves
The American People aren’t with me
We’re the goddamn enslaved home of the free
Anti-Patriotic, banned and burned
Think after Vietnam we’d finally learned
The American People aren’t with me
Constitutional Republic, not Democracy
Anti-Semite African American Jew
Just know I know what we always knew
Land of the brave and Free are the few
Fighting and dying in court room battles
Not even sheep, we’re all fucking cattle
Manipulated tossed down meaningless prattle
left behind dentures tossed into gravel
For profit prisons snatch up miscreants
And no one wants to be an American Idiot.
The American People aren’t with me
We’re a lost cause, don’t you see?
Ex-patriots running far to death
We spread out further with every breath
The American people aren’t with me
Second dark age, we don’t even read
I don’t think we’ll ever learn
I wish my country would just fucking burn

Just Visiting

If Fire touches us equal face
Help me escape help me erase
Travel to the cliffs with me
Come and dance on dover beach
Just visiting
In the place of madness
Sadness, being faithless
And I'll never be as brilliant
Contrasts never quite as stark
My sun never leaves the lost
Dark, park
I think in sharps and you in flats
To in-between, a zombie sin gnats.
Can never really understand
Lost in the sky but I always land

Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
All of his questions, such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off, oh whoa
And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
'Cause I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drinks in the dark, at the end of my rope
And I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark aimed right at my throat
'Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me
Looking for heaven, for the devil in me
But what the hell, I'm gonna let it happen to me, yeah

My Words
06:01
|

Please don’t blame it on me
I know there isn’t much choice
Let me choke down the tears enough
To try and find my voice
Thoughts do not seem linked
On the spot rush too fast to think
Serious questions take forever cannot express my feel
I wish it would seem that I mean what I feel and say is real
‘Cause I always lose it
Never the right thing to say
In the right kind of way
It’s all burning up
It’s all falling down in a sick erasure
Why does my voice always fail
Under pressure
Words in my head that my mouth won’t speak
Gives the impression my intentions are weak
I have no ground to stand upon
In my mind I know it’s all wrong
Please give back what conditioning has taken from me
Give me back my vocality

Lullaby Raindrop

Your gods pray for us to be together,
Hand in hand throughout the weather,
Not to keep waking, doubting what's real
Lying in here in bed,
letting time heal,
Oh it’s raining outside
And I wish you were here
Oh It’s raining outside
So heavily, my dear
Oh I need you now
Oh I need you to
Stand with me
Your kiss beneath my pillow
My breath just wind in willows
Through airwaves circle far away
I lose myself in water,
Every time you cannot stay.
Come with me and dance
Hail lightening in a lance
Fire death, buy new pants,
Time give please give us every chance

Magnets

Oh, we’ll never be lost in clamor
Oh, I know that miles aren’t making it stronger
And Oh, and I wish the last dance had been longer
Oh, there are two sides to a magnet
Throwing down before we even tried it
Breaking the poles downwardly
My lighter won’t spark to light up the dark
My butane won’t ignite
I’m not done with the fight
Cuz I couldn’t last a night
without you
Oh, I feel like we float in the sky
Oh, I heal and in your life I cry
And Oh, kneel at your side, we fly
Oh, there are two sides to a magnet
Throwing down before we even tried it
Breaking the poles downwardly
My lighter won’t spark to light up the dark
My butane won’t ignite
I’m not done with the fight
Cuz I couldn’t last a night
without you
Magnets combine perfect too
Lost in the dark without you
And together we are the few
And the American People are with us anew

Paul, The Epithet Reno, Nevada
Hi, My name is Paul. I write music on a guitar, and scream alone in a bedroom about love, life, Casablanca, squids, occasionally punkrockanarchy, and a number of other things. Sometimes I use other instruments too, to varying degrees of quality. This is some music. ... more
