Take Me Home, Country Roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains Shenandoah River, Life is old there Older than the trees Younger than the mountains Blowin' like the breeze

Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine Teardrops in my eye

Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain momma Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice In the mornin' hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Take me home, now country roads

Zebrahead: Hell That Is My Life

I. I look but never touch She says I drink too much I only care about myself, sex, and the couch You. You light up my whole day Whenever you're away. I'd love to say I've got you figured out. No way

If I get my hands on you, I would make you do all the things I want you to And bend your will to mine, never hear you whine Everybody break out, it's enough to shout, it's enough to shout, it's enough, yeah it's enough

She's callin', we're brawlin' This is the hell that is my life I'm laughing, she's crying This is the hell that is my, hell that is my life

I. I feel the world revolves around me I take my one way street. I only have one serious bone in my body You. You say you're not amused You love to hate me too You claim you wish you never got my name tattooed

Now you got your hands on me And you can make me be, what you want me to be And slash away my will, still you're my only thrill Everybody break out, it's enough to shout, It's enough to shout, it's enough, yeah it's enough

She's callin', we're brawlin' This is the hell that is my life I'm laughing, she's crying This is the hell that is my, hell that is my life

You. You say you're not amused You love to hate me too And now you tell your friends we're through, and never screwed

I can take you so much more And you've got so much more in store So when you say your mom don't like me, I say that your mom's a whore Then you call me selfish pig and something small turns into something big The more you shovel the more I dig. The more you shovel and the more I dig

She calls, we talk, I scream, she cries This is the hell that is my life She calls, we talk, I laugh, she tries This is the hell that is my.

“Redding, The Lonely City”

The Moon

I was once in love with a woman named after the moon. And much the same as that beautiful elusive celestial body, so to was she truly unattainable.

Heady, dizzying nights of passionate lovemaking, followed with days of unrelenting arguments and screaming. A strange cycle, recurring and repeating over and over again.

Passion and anger, love and distance.

A scene from a movie, as we lay in the back of my truck, staring at the stars, watching the sun slowly rise on our last day together.

Soft, kind words of love lasting forever and distance meaning nothing. But alas, time would be the greatest adversary.

My hope is that the moon shines as brightly as it used to for me.

Red Ice

The night becomes cold and still when the hunting is finished.

Her bloodlust satiated, the ritual complete. Silence surrounding the scene, as blood drips from her dagger, gleaming silver in the faint light of the stars.

She doesn't even notice the cold numbness coming from her feet, standing in the frozen little river, slowly turning red with her sacrifice’s life essence spilling into it.

As her eyes turn white, and she looks to the sky, she wonders: 

“Who will be the next to taste my blade?”

Undead And Hungry

Undead and demented, don't dare think I wont,

Let you live to see the light.

I’ll rip the flesh right off your bones.

Since I’ve died, I cant deny,

The hunger I get from your thighs.

Living peoples lives are so complex,

My only thought is who to eat next.

Undead and hungry all night!

Never gonna let  you live to see daylight!

The sound of your screams are such delight!

Please put up a fight!

Flop Sweat

Sweaty palms and nervous laugh,

I summon every ounce of courage I have.

I walk to you through the crowded room,

My thoughts racing, foreboding doom.

 You smile softly as I say hello,

Do I appear scared? I truly don’t know.

Clumsy and awkward, I struggle to talk,

Fighting the fact that my lips want to lock.

Uncomfortable silence, as I think what to say,

When in all reality, I should just say good day.

But still I stay, and give it my best,

I’m afraid my heart might burst out my chest.

You seem to be listening to my every word,

Why is it then, that I feel so absurd?

Alas, I quickly run out of things to say,

I meekly ask for your number, and you tell me “No way!”

“I understand.” I mumble, as I turn away,

“No wait, you misunderstand me! Please stay?”

I turn back around, and to my surprise,

Her smile is almost as big as her eyes!

She reaches out, and grabs my hand,

My heart starts to flutter, I wonder what’s her plan?

“I’m not rejecting you at all!”

“I simply want your number, so I can give you a call.”

I can’t believe this is happening, this babe’s such a doll!

Is this a dream, I think I might fall!

“You see,” She says, “I’m really quite shy,”

“But for you, I want to be the one who tries.”

I think my heart has just skipped a beat,

Am I even still standing on my own two feet?

I give her my number, and she writes it down,

Who could’ve known she's attracted to clowns?

Leave Today

Gone away, are your intentions. Gone away, for good.

Lie and say, your finest lessons. Thoughts betray your mood.

All hope is gone, And my heart's decayed. And this divides too strong, And we cant be changed.

Take this heart... Take this heart... And just leave today, Away from me. And let time ease the pain, We've both been through.

Dream of days we spent together, With brighter thoughts in our heads. All I know, nothing stays forever, Life moves along! Life moves along!

When I'm always wrong, Everything's gone strange. And the faith is gone, So do as I say:

The Wizard

Misty morning, clouds in the sky Without warning, a wizard walks by Casting his shadow, weaving his spell Funny clothes, tinkling bell

Never talking Just keeps walking Spreading his magic

Evil power disappears Demons worry when the wizard is near He turns tears into joy Everyone's happy when the wizard walks by

Never talking Just keeps walking Spreading his magic

Sun is shining, clouds have gone by All the people give a happy sigh He has passed by, giving his sign Left all the people feeling so fine

Never talking Just keeps walking Spreading his magic

A Quiet Moment

The calm before the storm.

Before the screams and fighting, before the explosions and laughter.

Before the sounds of gunshots, and bones being broken.

Before the death defying leaps off buildings, the insane machinations of the lover, and the loss of human life,

she stops for one quiet, brief moment, to smell the roses.

NightBears

Come see, come see!

Come and see the NightBear jamboree!

Sit and watch, as the band plays and sings,

We assure you, you've never seen such a thing!

Don't listen to the others that say its creepy,

There hasn't been any “incidents” .......ok maybe 3.

But those weren't their fault, their wiring was faulty.

They've been fixed now, so they wont be naughty.

You can hear them now, play and sing!
