I smile,

Through broken teeth and a broken jaw,

I stand up,

But not to call the law.

I draw it out and snap it open,

This probably ain’t what you were hoping.

I tell you now and I tell you slow,

I’ll give you one last chance to go..

If you stay I hope you know…

I’ll skin your ass just like a doe.

Healthy Mind, Body and Spirit,
Takes all the effort you can give it.
Stay up, stay strong, stand braced,
You’ve seen the Devil’s horrid face.
Takes persistence and steady vigilance,
Resilience and all due diligence.
The crutches there haven’t been thrown out,
They wait for you to stumble and reach out.
A downward spiral there in the distance,
A place that threatens your very existence.

I’m flying high in this dark sky.

I watch you close thru my third eye.

I see you close and wonder why,

You shoot at us, you wanna die?

We don’t taste good and mean no harm.

We eat little on your green farm.

The Scarecrow there is just a joke,

You little fool you silly bloke.

You kill each other day and night.

Why do people always fight?

Fields of dead for us to eat,

Well fed people tasty meat.

The Hellbilly Madman

Showin up to school at noon, with beer on my breath,

Just smoked too much weed and there’s a stupid test.

Skipping Class and Smoking grass rolling around in a beater,
It gets me places but its got a goddamn broken heater!

I’ve seen and heard shit that doesn’t exist,
Tried to escape with a blade and bloody wrist.

Been slammed to the floor in an ER a ton of times, Needles in the ass its almost sleeping time.

More psych ward visits than I can count on both hands,
And I got all ten fingers, it sucks I tell you man.

Getting pills in a cup and doing shit on purpose,
Having a flashback, tripping here is a circus.

I’ve tried Heroin, smoked Crack and hung out in a Meth lab.
Tripping on Acid, not habitual, won’t end up in a rehab..

I’ve hung with murderers, killed 2 hogs and broke bread with them,

Eating fried up pork, glad that I’m a friend.

Glass that doesn’t break will only break your hand,
Not as bad the second time looks like I’m a fan.

No surgery for the first break, so here comes the second, Only a little less fucked up, no it isn’t pleasant.

Getting fuckin desperate, huffing gas from a can.
How am I alive, I do not understand.

I’ve been shocked by 110 as well as 220,
I guess the reaper isn’t in a hurry.

Been strapped to a board, freed my hand and crushed my throat,
Stole a thumbtack, washed it down, immortal can I gloat?

Broke up a dozen fights of mostly pits and others too,
Thumb tore up and meat exposed crunched thru and thru.

Desperate for a drink and knockin back mouthwash,
Puking blood and coffee grounds this shits bad sauce.
