Don't Tell Me How to Die

You’re the reason I’m quitting
Walking off the job with the horses in the stream
Turned off my connection
Turned off my connection and I’m going off the grid
My ears are ringing, my head is pounding
I’m a mess of oily rags too close to the flame
I’ve had enough
Of living under the heel of your jackboot
What is this deadly thing
What is this deadly thing going through my mind
My ears are ringing, my head is pounding
I’m a mess of oily rags too close to the flame

Prison Tape

Messages, messages, forming from a fringe pattern, random, scattered
Hear it now, every third word, hear it now, every third word, it’s forming a structure
Whether it’s real or not, whether you can hear it or not, he knew it, he could hear it
He hung himself using the prison tape
He always knew that the voices were true, from another dimension
Calling to him, beckoning, promising a better life
There was nothing left to do here, he had punched his last ticket to ride
He hung himself using the prison tape, It was his fast way out
Hang yourself, using prison tape

She was terrified of what she saw
She was terrified of what was to be
She had seen too much
Standing still all day
Frozen in fear and remorse
She chose to do nothing
See into her eyes
Tattooed images in the left eye – love
Tattooed images in the right eye - hate
Fear of changing the future
She stares into the midday sun
So she is blind forever

You once stood so tall
You once stood so strong
The slamming of doors
The holes in your walls
Did they hurt
Your kind does not understand my life
I was made from the earth we are not so strange
Being taken for granted was just part of my job
Time and the elements were not my concern
Of all the creatures great and small
Under heaven and earth
Did you enjoy birds, rats and people
Did you love
I never got used to the defenestration
I most loved the sun against my bricks
There were times when I felt (like collapsing)
And there were times when I felt like (a new building)
