BEYOND THE BOTTOM OF ROCK BOTTOM

I've been to the bottom of rock bottom
only to find it's got a new bottom
becomes your new lot when your luck's rotten
thirteen splintered pieces falling
from face broken mirror's calling
out for me to fucking listen
teaching me my greatest lesson
embrace the new count my blessings

possibilities abound
in each moment yet to come
things yet to see to be found
keep keeping on don't you run
this time they won't steal my crown
no more gloating time has come
to grind snakes deep in the ground
their time well and truly come

I've been dragged deep into puddles of mud
only to come out tougher than the rest
soul got sold and heart's been under attack
though it still beats it's been put to the test
a heart that hurts is a heart that still works
navigating through so much injustice
not retreating to all dark places worse
incarceration through unjust sentence

deafening siren sounds
indicate time for muster
unhinged heads back in the ground
before the screws can bust ya
for trying to make them frown
poison spreading like cancer
in cells where men are space bound
freedom of mind the answer

TIME BOMB

My broken soul's not up for sale

No matter what they offer me

But the pieces you just might find

In the places I used to hang

My dying breath expelled in vain

If I let my haters prevail

I'm not leaving before my time

Lowlifes would have to kill me first 

Tick tock tick tock

Karma spares none

One two time bomb

There's no escape

When life becomes a pantomime

For stalkers to manipulate

Ultra violence seems a good choice

My voice removed by violent force

Some would say I'm losing my mind

But I lost the plot long ago

Never to come back from the pain

Of living in this sick sad world

Tick tock tick tock

Fun in the sun

One two mind fucked

Walking time bomb

CHAIN REACTION

Hanging on by a thread

To this life so tragic

Really I should be dead

Felled by low down tactics

Drown away all pain

Killing every faucet

That drips out acid rain

Euphoria like magic

This paranoia fame

Makes me want to gank shit

Which bad choice is to blame

Let's take another hit

Actions spoken wrong reaction

Everybody feeling sorry

Fashion victim's lack of action

Everybody has a story

Write yet another cliché

Formulaic structure

Another wasted day

Do me a fucking favour

Say shit straight to my face

I thought myself a saviour

A fool's chivalrous race

Leaving a bitter taste

Just pull the coward's knife

Out of the small of my back

People may wonder why

Such a destructive path

Actions pending lame reaction

Every real crim hates weak snitches

Legal shafting lies in action

Every cowboy's sad life story

Who will be there to save me

When I'm consumed by rage

Come here and watch me bleed

Inside an inhumane cage

Where inmates smoke ox and dream

About that wonderful day

They are once again free

Can't wipe the smile off the face

Of a subhuman condemned

To repeat the same mistakes

Over and over again

Left with nothing but much hate

Actions taken chain reaction

Just say the word karma's a bitch

Beasts awoken truth through action

Every jail bird has a story
