Your mother didn’t love you-
Why can’t you face the facts
You can’t get it through your head-
Corrupted future acts
Your mother didn’t love you-
It’s warped you ever since
The world is out to get you-
A lie you are convinced
Your mother didn’t love you
But many others do-
Why can’t you face the fact of it
Why can’t you face the truth-
Love will never enter –
Deep into your heart-
A worthless dull nobody –
Redeem yourself with art-
You have these deep deep feelings
But no one really cares-
You have an overwhelming urge
To throw you down the stairs-
Your mother didn’t love you-
Because she was diseased-
And not cause you’re unlovable-
Her kind should never breed
But you are here alive-
And facts you must accept
Your mother didn’t love you- -
And your love you can’t collect
Your mother didn’t love you –
the pain it cannot leave
But tons of people love you -
but their love you can’t receive

Tragedy Laugh Girl

Tragedy laugh girl A dimply grin
My heart is breaking My love is a sin
I have no right now, to feel so much joy
When others are crying and breaking their toys
Princess of cuteness all Childlike and new
Laughing and lit up I pity the fool
I am so Selfish, stupid and mean
Why won’t you love me The fat and the lean
No one deserves you You’ll make them all pay
For giving you all That you had anyway
Tragedy laugh girl Destroy on your path
How many have fallen? Oh you do the math
Tragedy laugh girl You’ve already bought
What they try to give you You’ve already got
Tragedy laugh girl Has all and wants more
Tragedy laugh girl Get on the dance floor

Homicidal Eyes
01:44
|
|
||
It’s god’s world and I could die
From her homicidal eyes
Told her something she didn’t like
Shot me Homicidal eyes
Sexy as hell Slits of gold
Killer bod Would love to hold
It’s god’s world Die anytime
Die by Homicidal eyes
Staring cold right against mine
Sending shivers down my spine
Breath of death speaks louder than
Whispers sexy frying pan
Hot enough to burn the sun
Death by her would be so fun

Life's a Bore at 54
02:19
|
|

Life’s a bore
At fifty four
Don’t want to play
The game no more
Got more time
Oh that’s for sure
But I don’t know
What time is for
No one wants
A fat bald me
To sing another song
Of self pity
Mankind’s forever
Lost it’s way
Brother ‘gainst brother
Gay against gay
I don’t care
If you can score
Nothing gets
Me high no more
Pain on earth
Will never end
All I can do
Is love my friends
Me
I didn’t
Create this world
Now I’ve come
To hate this world
Feel like shit
Then write a song
I Still don’t know
Where I belong
Suffering on earth
Will never end
All I can do
Is love my friends
The Pain on earth
will never end
All you can do
is love your friends

You Don't Exist
01:15
|
|
||
You don’t exist and neither do I
You can do something – oh you can try
But nothing will come of it
Nothing exists
But please don’t go crazy and start
Slashing your wrists
Cause
Nothing is wonderful
Nothing is great
There’s Nothing to love
And there’s nothing to hate
There’s Nothing to worry
And Nowhere to go
There’s Nowhere to hide
And there’s nothing to show
You just keep on growing
Keep drinking the light
Keep drinking the water
And keep up the fight
Keep breathing the air
And keep eating the food
Keep doing the discipline
Doing the good

I am honored – Humbled here
In it’s divine presence
Id and ego - disappear
At the great wall of indifference
At the great wall of indifference
I drop my sword to the floor
At the great wall of indifference
I cannot fight anymore
I am lonely – Never ends
With or without a reason
I am empty – without friends
I’m cold in every season
(Chorus)
Surrender - Self pity – I’m as close as dead
Brings joy and feeling giddy
Nothing more can be said
I am speechless – Can’t be sad
At the great wall of indifference
Doesn’t matter – Good or bad
At the great wall of indifference

Dad Died by Suicide
02:30
|
|

Dad died – by suicide - I’m ten – alone again
Everybody – wants to talk – Get away y’all
What the fuck?
I don’t know my name – (but) I know I’m somehow to blame
What did I do wrong? – What good is writing a song?
I’m a freak – Leave Me alone – Can’t speak – I hate my home – God Let – My daddy die
God’s love – it is a lie
What did I do wrong? – What good is writing a song? – I may never be – anxiety free. – I wish it wasn’t dad – I wish it was me
Dad’s dead – a bullet through his head – I’m numb – a empty jug of rum – I wish I could get high – God’s Love – It is a lie.
What did I do wrong? – What good is writing a song? – I may never be – anxiety free – I wish it wasn’t dad – I wish it was me

The World - It Hurts
02:03
|
|

The world
it hurts
a red raw nerve
My life
is in your hands
Please don’t tease
or laugh at me
I don’t
think
I could stand
Be sweet to me
if you can be
I’m really
on the verge
Of losing it
I just can’t sit
With this
destructive urge
Everyone
is mean to me
Or that is
how it seems
I’m paranoid
I can’t avoid
These dark
psychotic scenes
I feel the guilt
cut to the hilt
Please do
forgive me now
I’d kill myself
if that would help
If only
god would allow
The world it hurts
I feel like dirt
I get
what I deserve
I hate today
Can’t run away
I am
a red raw nerve
Laughter chases
My god away
And me
I am alone
I hate today
Can’t run away
I’m frightened
of the phone

God is dead—Love is alive—Love is real
God is contrived
We may always disagree
Might never see things eye to eye
Hatred might come in-between
It doesn't mean that love has died
We might never come together
Hope you gave it your best try
We might always hate each other
It doesn't mean that love has died
We might hate our whole lives through
We might none of us survive
Never see what love can do
It doesn't mean that love has died
Love is here like it or not
Access it or hate the lot
It doesn’t make you love it so
It waits until you let it go
Don't give up on love today
Do what love says in your time
Not what’s leading you astray
Trust your heart and you’ll be fine
Listen to your heart today
Do what it has got in mind
Not what ‘s leading you astray
Forgive yourself and please be kind

I Think About You Often
02:32
|
|||
I think about you often and I worry
There's lots of time to grow up so don't hurry
I want to keep you safe away from danger
But you will make your own way with these strangers
Please know that I love you
And will always
Be there
Even when you hate me
My love won't change I’ll still care
Please don't hurt yourself or do what they say
I hate to think you're out there losing your way
I love you and I want to see you happy
I love you let your conscience be your mappy
Love yourself while I can't be there
With you hold you tight
Love yourself and a please be true
And know love’s always right
Love is always right
I want to hold you in my arms forever
Keep you warm and safe and leave you never
But you must make your own way and be clever
In a world that hurts and keeps you hurt forever

Nobody Nowhere
02:48
|
|
||
Where is the fire - where is the flame
An Empty desire – for empty fame
For empty riches – I see that you’ve become
Accustomed to luxury but you live like a bum
With No love for the music
And No Respect for the man
With No love for the genius of
Shakespeare or Paul Gauguin
No love for the movies
That used to thrill you up
The sweet, needy greed of an angel
Has gotten corrupt
The Notion of something
And from nothing there it comes
You can’t get your head around the fact
There’s no counting of sums
Nobody nowhere – stands the invisible man
If there is a power – then where, where is the plan
I empty my vessel prepared for you then to fill
I ask you to fill it with brilliance
But Please do what thou wilt
I’m Nobody nowhere – I sit - I empty my mind
What am I to do then When nothing - Nothing’s Divine

What Does it Mean?
01:21
|
|
||
What does it mean- To be a man
Hard working Honest - True with a plan
What does it mean - To be an adult?
On time, reliable - Immune to insult
What does it mean - To be a grown man
Clear and straight forward - Sure guiding hand
What does it mean - To be a true mensch
Clear and decisive - Right side of the fence
What does it mean - To give of yourself
A higher desire - Than what’s on the shelf
What does it mean – to sacrifice
For something much greater
Than just being nice

Lies to Live By
02:57
|
|||
We all need a lie to live by
We all need some lies to sleep at night
God in his heaven Smiles down at me
Loves me and Curses my enemies
We all need a lie to live by
We all need some lies to sleep at night
My life has meaning I’m sensible
My home is safe And defensible
I hide behind lies
I need to disguise
My life is unbearable
Otherwise
We all need a lie to live by
We all need some lies to sleep at night
George told a lie ‘bout that cherry tree
Fills me with tons of anxiety
The government killed John F Kennedy
The towers came down at free falling speed
Better to lie
The truth’s on their side
And all that I have to do is just be me

We're Gonna Be Okay
01:52
|
|

We need somebody to say
We’re gonna be okay
Today
Today
There’s heaven above
And there’s hell down below
We’re somewhere
In between you know
We’re gonna be okay
