Whats in a name


Better than a pep pill

Labels? I don't need anymore labels
I have enough self-inflicted
In life you're pigeon holed, into this, into that.
If you try to do anything different, you're a freak you're ostracized.
...

There's beauty here hidden deep
Within the concrete & the brick
Sometimes it's hard to find
Within the swells of city life
...

Who will protect history from the lies
Of jingoistic ministers? Who glory in
War, its victims who laid dying & bleeding
through Mans inventions
...

All life can start and end here
Here people hear all and treat all

So precious from the start
...

Through My Eyes

I see versions of myself in the eyes of all I see
In the black eyes of the drunks,
...

I can regret nothing.
If I did everything I experienced would a lie.
I can learn new lessons and I've learned my lessons well, and I've made some mistakes can't you tell?
My mistakes have at times been my lessons, but to regret them would place me in a hell! I've just escaped from one you see I have.
...

Muse, you’re much more than a peer.
You are what anyone should aspire to be.
Your inspiration is without peer.
You’re a peer unto yourself a peer that's worth more than wealth.
...

It’s always there, always haunting
Always at the corner, in the front.

The MAD tells us what we need
