Distracted - Redux

I woke up today
With my life on display
Feeling a little past the point of dead
Like a firefly
My life is a light
Flickering in the dead of night
Exclaiming aloud
My stories of pride
The ones I carefully choose to hide

I'm a brand new man
Shambling ahead
Sticking dreams aside
Bury them deep where they can hide
Plotting the day they escape

But I'm about to go
There's only one thing I know
These memories escape the coffins of hope
Rotting corpses of the past
Hunger of despair and desire like rain
Muddy water here...

--always distracted...Ugh

Two Heads

Seemingly twisted in overly mystic
Hazy jaded lines
Found a fellow
Dressed in yellow
Now there's one to go

Where we go tonight my friend
I should never have quite known
If it's all the same to you
I think we'll go in tow
To the whiskey
a
go go

Partners to the bitter end,
Birds of a feather
Together in this fine weather
With the rain beneath our feet
It should't dare
Touch so fair
Innocents like these

Run, run, run
While we can
Lay of the land
Is our's to expand
Until the very last man
Checks right on in
Guns in hand
Make a stand

Now or never, we've got to shiver
At the cold raging at our door

Two's beaten better
Than some half assed devil
Crying loud out in the snow

Grab you a shell and a gauge of twelve
And come play doh-si-doh
Woah-oh-oh
