She Ain't My Girlfriend
02:07

She Ain’t My Girlfriend
She’s just someone who says she cares
Emerging from the din
Smack of mirror and genteel social flare
I want to cry on the phone with her
But she would not let me sob
She spell it out and the dance disturbed
Emotional anxiety, I was robbed
I live deep inside my mind
And when I walk down the street I caught a glance
If you want me I’ll give you the time
Or this my last gasp for moment’s chance
Stray bullet, intentionally beat
Stay out of my street
If I bought a gun I’d kill myself
Save the bullets and leave them in my will
She aint my girlfriend
But hell I wish she was
Of the loose parts of me I mend
She was there and we never talked about love.

Ain't Always
01:58
|
|||
I ain’t always gonna do the honest thing
Not to say I’ll lie but I will sing
I don’t want to do the role model sting
Just gimme an artist a bell that dings
don’t give me credentials just give me a sound
If you got a problem with me don’t hang around
Have fun up on the high ground, I live in a swamp
One called it a jihad another mein kampf
But if it wasn’t for the struggle then I wouldnt be me
If it wasn’t for the hand of the market, then the wage slaves would be free
If I actually had a job I wouldnt be a rockstar
And if I didn’t care about sound then I wouldnt go too far
And if I didn’t hate bridges I would always hit the road
Jumping state to state like frog playing with a toad.

I Don't Think
01:13
|
|||
I don’t think I like to drink
I hit the bathroom, puke in the sink
Head askew and brain askance
I swear I’m fine give me a chance
I’ll do a dance I’ll sing a song
I look good in tuxedos and thong
If this my life then somethings wrong
I don’t want to be right sing like king kong
Up all night, nothing to do
And brain cells I’ve left just a few
Enough to rhyme a couple words
Strum some chords, sing like a bird
But not a dove a fucking loon
I hate the sun and love the moon
I love the summer but hate to sweat
If it’s a better me I haven’t met
I hate myself in the mirror
Truly I have seen much clearer
Really dumb, a little clever
Figured out my life’s endeavor
Bring joy through pain in song
Write your heart out ya ding dong
Pretend like everyone dead
Then your ego won’t go to your head

You Ain't a Dom
01:11
|
|||
You ain’t a dom
You just like to hurt
Born out aggression
From being the first
The last, and all in between
You say you love love
But you love when I scream
You saw the separation growing farther apart
Instead of my problems, you attacked my heart
Maybe I didn’t love violent enough
Didn’t know gentle, I didn’t know rough
Now you are gone but you should seek help
Not from me I live in my own hell.

Baltimore
01:31
|
|||
Baltimore I heard your name
Aquariums and o’s games
Now I am a ravens fan
Prefer a beer drank out a can
Run my mouth and made mistakes
Down mlk to escape
Back in and out, the same path
Always sad to see it pass
What a thrill to come again
Like returning to a loser friend
All my folks, I don’t see
Often I forget all the
Adaptation in this world
Boy meets girl and then becomes girl
Broke her heart, reminisce the fatal
Excited to suck upon fate’s ladle
When the heat ran out my heart
I ruled it anew a fresh apart
Til that heart’s fire fell asleep
And I dreamed a fever of too steep
Swear I’ve died five or six times
If not for the love the world imbibes
Often alone and more often a wanderer
Was I a mirror or a foil to her?

Big Data Redux
02:17
|
|||
Under the thumb of big data
Compels us to go to war
That is what america wants
Kill me and draft the poor
Bomb our problems away
Like playing video games
I don’t think that there should be borders
Who all feels the same?
Sedate in front of television
With so much cultural guff
“we are living in a golden age”
Who all got the right stuff?
Afraid to say who I want dead
The government is listening
Afraid to say who I want dead
For the trees is glistening.

Smokey Rolls
02:25
|
|||
Smokey rolls across the sky
A phrase so caught up in the lips of man
You either get it or you can’t
Crushed cans at the bottom of such highs
And Friday night country got dim lights
And time alone will flow like sand
Pears to pick and wheat to scythe
Fuck a law I spend my time
Feeling sorry for a sycophant
Throw in a worm but can’t hook a fish
Sorrow for me feel not a pith
Strangle me silent, leave me close to death
Rubbing up against up a cast iron pan
Frying bacon but praise HaShem
All I do I do for him
And her and god and they and them
And I don’t believe I live in sin
At least I tell myself no lies
And smokey rolls across the skies
And we never question why
And that time comes again, when

I Don't Go Out
01:00
|
|||
I don’t go out
I have a cat
Sit on my ass
And just get fat
All I eat
I piss it out
Check the toilet
Full of cloud
And black mold
From my disease
I don’t live west
But always east
Sing like a banshee
A reject
Trans and jewish
No respect
No friends
But I invite none over
They aint nothing
but a bunch of schnorrers
Nyc
I hate her guts
Wanting to get kissed
but instead get punched
I don’t fuck
but I jerk off
“What a lady”,
don’t give a toss
“please turn it down
you upset me”
Says the dog
barks up my tree
Go to sleep
but I’m afraid
I won’t wake up
but it’s too late
Soft whispers
or formal justice
What I want
amounts to bupkis.

Vi Heystu

Vi heystu
Ikh heys yasha
Is all I learned on day one
Pasta is all I had at 5 for lunch
Dinner at 9, class was crunched
A virus has taken us by storm
And luckily I have this report
And not long or how soon
No one knows it’s time entombed
After can we just laugh at this?
Will we embrace? Should we kiss?
Or a final poem for bedside’s sake
Is lost amongst the writer’s estate
I bid farewell and I do adieu
Gone from me are the days I knew

The Way U Stomp
02:05
|
|||
I don’t like the way you stomp around
Talking nothing hot air
Filling false space
I’ll stomp the hell
Right out the taste
Get my heart beating
Tik tik tok
Far enough fleeting
Arteries block
Why spend my years
Before I fall sick
Getting mad
At ronald rick
Or dick dump truck
Stupid red tie
No fashion sense
Zero apple pie

If I could only win your love
I'd make the most of everything
I'd proudly wear your wedding ring
My heart would never stray one dream away
If I could only win your love
I'd give my all to make it live
You'll never know how much I give
If I could only win your love
Oh how can I ever say
How I crave your love when your gone away
Oh how can I ever show
How I burn inside when you hold me tight
