When I Was
-VI fell straight from heaven without tearing off my wingsOptimistic eyes always surprised by stranger thingsThink of all that life could beAlways so much happeningCan’t wait to get started when I turn 17 I fell into college but I left with no degreeTurns out academics was just not really for meWondered if my life could […]
Reset
V-It didn’t take much to put me off todayA sudden shadow, a look, a hint of greyOnce in a while, I knew what I wantedJust for a while, I flirted with deathDon’t want to die, but don’t feel like I’m livingDays like today, the clock needs to reset C-Sometimes I feel like a slug in […]

Pushing My Buttons
-V-What a day,My eyes fixed on the horizonMixing margaritas by the poolsideGrab a drinkA fantasy of relaxationSlip into a suit, I’ll meet you outside -P-If you can’t beat my high scoreIn the heat of the dayMaybe tonight we can stay in and play -C-Darling, You keep pushing my buttonsDarling, You keep pushing my buttonsAnd you’re […]
Lights In The Window
VSet out an empty chairThe place I used to sitYou put my name thereLike an epitaphYou think I don’t careSo many years have passedWithout my face inThe family photograph I had a near missIt changed the way I thinkToo many chancesA lifetime in a blinkI know I missed themLast time they came aroundI need to […]
I Stopped Believing (Derrick’s Song)

Kite & Key
VWalkin’ the nameless streets of some cityJust gettin’ lost can comfort a manWith you and me disconnectedI’m going to ground with nowhere to stand CIf I could fly, I’d ride with the lightningWhere I could touch you with barely a thoughtIn my rambling path between heaven and earthI could strike anywhereBut I’ll find you wherever […]

Sugar Rush
I’ve been down this path a dozen times beforeNever noticed certain cobblestonesMust have eaten somethingThat did not agree with me I believe I once could see my house from hereThere’s a mist like syrup on my browFogging up my vision with some caterpillar smoke It’s all topsy and turvySpun like cotton candyTurvy and topsyThink I’m […]
