SCREWDRIVER SUN THERAPY

Got not reason to be happy

Open season for the big hunt

Now I'm bleeding on the footpath

Left here seething at the damage

Plain survival in the jungle

New revival of deep cruelty

Peace is vital for the broken

Find the rights holes for those loose screws

Keeping turning until they fit tight

And you might just see me smile again

MY JULIET

 all the hours now wasted

empty black holes tasted

didn't think I'd make it

even though I just take it

too much for one to fake

all surrounding walls shake

when I fall much further

from gravity's centre

where things don't get better

so I wrote this letter 

to make my feelings clear

as the passing of years

put aside all my fears

to bring you this fresh news

didn't want to leave you

hanging without a clue

as to what you should do

about the history

between the two of us

love still a mystery

I can't seem to work out

you are still my Juliet

on fire my heart you set

that's why I get so upset

every time I think of you

all the things that might have been

between the two of us that

never had a chance to be

oh Juliet come back to me

destroy the holy temple

nothing quite so gentle

like flooded sea vessels

caught in a losing battle

where one meets one's maker

who's power could break us

there's so much at stake here

not just words and fake tears

from movers and shakers

who's motives should wake us

to such tragic failures

like karma strikes traitors

no escape from it's grip

we all did what we did

when pressure blew our lids

and we closed our eye lids

to the truth before us

now settled in the dust

when we did what we did

we were only just kids

you are still my Juliet

on fire my heart you set

that's why I get so upset

every time I think of you

all the things that might have been

between the two of us that

never had a chance to be

oh Juliet come back to me

love is more than just a

four letter word for us

to fit a person to

it's what we choose to do

I just can't understand 

why you chose what you chose

into harm's way you ran

the emperor wears no clothes

twas all part of God's plan 

to divide and conquer

partially driven by

envy of yours truly

love is shown through actions

which speak louder than words

it's deeper than the ocean

the way it unfolds: absurd

one things still remains true

after all is said and done

strong is my love for you

don't you dare choose to run

you are still my Juliet

on fire my heart you set

that's why I get so upset

every time I think of you

all the things that might have been

between the two of us that

never had a chance to be

oh Juliet come back to me

MONKEY DO

in these days of being told what to do

there's only bad news no end to the abuse

reasons to excuse only the staunch refuse

running is of no use only chains to lose

powering before long tune of a new song

powerful like King Kong strongest of the strong

going on a rampage where nobody's safe

so erase the first page in the book of rage

serenity for days, enter a new phase

monkeys do as monkeys do see

get to you just to pry you free

monkeys use what? monkeys do use that

make then go nuts while others go splat

all the ways to do what we're told to do

does it get to you, did it confuse you

the folly of youth reaching out for clues

how not to always lose seek for yourself the truth

beyond what you see branch off like a tree

greet those who you meet on the way to defeat

death we just can't cheat does it leave us beat-

en down on the street with blood on the sleeve

of your favourite t-shirt you wear just to please

the fashion police telling us what to wear

help catch Ben Lee's disease as people stop and stare

humans do as humans do see

living proof we lack decency

junkies do what yes they do use this

makes them erupt into pure bliss

LOVE/COMPASSION

Love and compassion 

Highest of all ends

Going out of fashion

Even towards friends

Need to tread gently

As soft as we can

Hatred is aplenty

We are better than

The freak show parade

Running it's due course

Got nothing to say

Get back on your horse

Pain and suffering

All must go through it

Can be challenging

What doesn't kill us

We shall all find it

Strength to carry on

No longer blinded

By the same hang ups

Leading us to hell

Stuck in a deep rut

Only time will tell

If we can get up

Ghosts of betrayal

Would leave most broken

We simply can't fail

To do what's spoken

Time to let it go

All the holding on

Forgive our worst foes

They bleed just like we do

When knives cut through us

For making mistakes

As normal as rust

The walls start to shake

GLIMMER ON

Cracks in reality

Gaps in my memory

Lack of integrity

Trapped in purgatory

Hits in the neigbourhood

Shit gets misunderstood

Fits they normally would

Get junkies really high

Days slipping through my grip

As pieces of me die

Waves crashing to the shore

As seashells glimmer on

Leaves on the muddy ground

Seether coming back around

Creeps all around up town

Weep to ties that are bound

Let's break free from bondage

Set out a new passage

Fetch bait to catch cat fish

Exciting new attitude

Time slipping through my hands 

As hope fades right away

Heart still beats sign it works

As villains soldier on

Shame building up so much

Games are their safety crutch

Lame dishes served for lunch

Main reason I lose touch

Gave you all I could give

Say what you really mean

Do you want us to live

In a world so obscene 

Love shining on through us 

We won't ever give up

No matter what drives you

Don't ever let it die

ROTTING CADAVERS OF JUSTICE

All the times I've failed but never really tried
Are like a wishing well full of all the tears I've cried
In order to get over how fucked up this world and the people in it are
Nobody wants to step out of line, they just wanna be superstars
In a reality TV show about their boring lives full of mediocrity
But they're so out of touch with reality that they're living in a fantasy
Having kinky sex with with their enemies, not lover or special friend
But in the end it amounts to nothing, just a game of let's pretend
That everything is alright, that there's light in the darkness
But we've lost our minds and decided to jump off a cliff without a harness

On the merry go around
Have been many I found
Then lost again after that
Just like all those feral cats 
Why must we march to the tune
Of a boring afternoon
There will a revolt soon 
Release those labelled loons

All the crimes they've punished me for me for unjustly
Are like a living hell full of innocent freaks
Condemned from the outset like all witches burnt at the stake
It's time now how to reflect on how we miss out on cake
When doing hard time inside stuck with all your mates
Tossed aside and stripped of pride for making mistakes
Some of which were done out of sheer desperation
Life's no so much fun under regimentation 
A prison system within a racist nation
Backward punishment train fines for poor and homeless 
All these attacks on the poor obscene and senseless

Hear the siren screech on time
Designed to control the mind
The do it over again 
There's no valid half defense
For such inhumane treatment
Of our fellow humans
Race to the darkest bottom. 
The whole system is rotten

MEALS SERVED COLD

get out while you still can this rat race slowing down

fuck it don't delay stick it to the man in his ivory tower

mates taking more than they should steal the queen's crown

the water snake ran away from justice hiding behind the powers that be

the useless coward shitting all over those who were once his friends

what a mistake the gutless fool made snitched one time too plenty 

not wasting another hour so hate him why not i don't pretend

that i could have the least bit of mercy on the spineless snitch

me the crazy gung ho cowboy vigilante who dishes out meals

so frozen that i use iced tea time to key posh cars and rob the rich

ADVICE FROM ONE OF TIME'S ALL TIME GREATEST ASSASSINS

As the sands of time fall into the insatiable chamber of insanity

We can be certain of very few things in the confusing journey of life

Except that each and every passing moment will be long gone

While glimpses of happy and sublime times,  pain and darkness

Remain in the neural pathways of our burning, overclocked brains

Time does not wait around for the indolent to take action

Nor does it take mercy on those who repeat the same history through and through

The fate of the fool who does the same thing over and over again

And waits around complacently expecting a totally different result

As a drifter who has wasted half his life running to the same dead ends

I implore every one of us to make the most of each and every day

For each moment could very well be your very last in this realm of purgatory

Yes time waits for nobody and it can sweep you aside effortlessly

If you allow it to tick on over without putting in your very best effort

And before you know it most of your life has gone past in a blurry flash

As painful memories and failures past and present torment you each and every day

This is a reflection on a life only half lived at the best of times

The same old sad story playing on loop like a broken record

But if you were to scratch the surface like a skilled turntabalist does

You may begin to see the infinite possibilities which life itself offers

And actually create that which the heart desires and the mind conceives of

As you live each and every moment to the edge of the boundary of full

And not lay to waste all the potential you always held in your hands

From day one in the ground zero that was once the wreckage of your life

So waste not another moment while you are still alive and kicking

And heed the advice of one of time's most highly skilled assassins

Don't allow the ghosts of past defeats to haunt you and drag you down into oblivion

Or before you know it you find yourself drowning in a sea of despair and resignation

To all that you cannot retrieve from the ashes of yesterday's failures

For half a lifetime can go by in the blink of an eye out for an eye

Let go of all fear, self-loathing and hatred for your enemies as best that you can

For life is too short for one to be caught up in these roadblocks to time well spent

RED FLAGS

always on my own all alone as i grow old yes the cold chills the bones of a broken man

as seeds of karma have grown her bubbles are blown at the mouth of hoover dam

i only inhale one more cone in this change of perspective i have been so kindly shown

was that but a drone do you want to live in a world where all your chances have been blown

in a world so cold even warm hearts melt due to a tightening of the belt around the waist

these are the darkest feelings i've felt my cards layed upon the shelf's bitter taste

on the other side of the razor wire evil forces conspire to keep us in our lowly place

stripped of all one's pride our lot is screws calling the shots erasing our face

spreading yet more lies see me as a stereotype my humanity they simply choose to erase

no matter how i've tried to put up a fight pricks control my plight with disdain


some sly fuck stole the sunshine from under my rug

i should have told him to fuck right off

when the red flags appeared i'm such a mug

i can't ever recover all that time i lost


one hour two hours three hours make you the epitome of sour four more times sixty seconds

the power weak cower on the outer in a dower struggle with more roots than the husband

this is time martyr crimes not committed out of line raw aggro shouting nonsense

was the worst not the the first got an insatiable  thirst for volume at maximum

eleven months on the run so much fun basking in the sun awesome bros appear by accident

synchronicity rich snobs get rich come watch them snitch and be all nonchalant

stingy fucks only suck cocks for crack off the beaten track none of them have a sense

of what it's like to have rice really nice the priceless advice delivered with full pretence

one i hate not too late to seal his fate bum try-hard rich boy with no substance

count the days on the way to make him pay run all those days he can in fear of violence


some sly fuck stole the sunshine from under my rug

i should have told him to fuck right off

when the red flags appeared i'm such a mug

i can't ever recover all that time i lost



i will continue my propensity to engage in scare tactics and property damage

the only way for me to express outrage at the entire one-sided fucking package

of an unjust criminal justice system that incarcerates too many times on average the savage

men who breach court imposed orders by sending an SMS or making civil telephone calls

the book well and truly thrown my way to displace the calm for what harm can a torrent of H/2/O cause

they couldn't fault me without lies to my face in a day in which someone wished me dead

for one needs a photographic memory to keep track of what one has and hasn't said

liars so obscene like a junkie fiend committing burglary, my sentence a travesty

miscarriage of justice in a fucked up system which only listens to one's perceived enemies

snitches get sticthes cadaver in a cistern without me having to expend too much energy



some sly fuck stole the sunshine from under my rug

i should have told him to fuck right off

when the red flags appeared i'm such a mug

i can't ever recover all that time i lost
