A FEEDBAG OF TRUCKSTOP POETRY
I pulled over for a
teabag I thought of you, it wasn't bad You had direction and drive And you
arrived at closing time To find They wiped down the bar And they built you a bed
Laid your head to rest and left you try to true again You maybe proud then As it
was always wish for thought I would imagine you off Maybe I could see you again
We could sit down and have a moment And talk about your suicide And I would put
away your death If you could put away the dope And all our enemies, well there's
no time for you to know them Any crooked mind disease but Hopeless fools they
will be missing you I pulled over for nostalgia I thought of suffering the joke
No one delivered the punchline No resolution is here I couldn't sharpen the view
And it's still drawn to you Waiting on the new but then this story has no end As
we continue driving
NARROW STRAITS
I want to mute the scene To turn back
the clocks And turn them off And feel your silence Shut them out Block my ears
And I wanna hear Of some way or down and out And all else is separation My
watches when you heave For the last In a conscience moment I could live in nice
and regret Here in the past My choose makes memories and more You clearly maybe
think that I have something to live for Buried in the dirt Someone will dig and
pull the fleet For once and believe And then you pray for me ?? An undefined
promise to heed, fight it In a colored frustration As I enter the vault you
breach Unsubsided ??
BURN THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT
Burn those bridges
to the ground, ground, ground, without a sound We just blew up Hard to be ??? to
This is a lot, this is their truth Someone told you live is short But short's
just long No need for validation Short you never needed song You without harmony
You gave them underwelming for change lives worth Ending in a flat low gesture
Passionate to some is not enough A ?calatharel? to the lounge ??? You make them
proud to crush you See if they like watching you burn Just like the bridge You
wandered first So burn those bridges to the ground Without a care You know you
not leave before they're here (There) ain't left Addicted to the sound of
insufficient Only recognized before you compromised
LOSING EVERYONE
I kinda doubt about it I'm kinda sick
about this feeling Talking brings it up I'm kinda short on feelings I kinda got
the feeling that I'm losing everyone Could this be all Could it linger anymore
But what an endless fall There's no use to call it off So I'm rolling down the
stairway And I'm giving in these thoughts sound angry Talking brings it out So
now I doubt about it I'm kinda sick about this feeling Drinking brings it up I
don't even know why I shouted out I'm the one whose feeling doubt... Again I
kinda doubt about it I'm kinda sick about this feeling Talking brings it out
Could this be all Could it linger anymore In an endless fall There's no use to
call it off I don't even know why I start it all I'm the one whose feeling doubt
Yeah, don't even know why I start it all I'm the one whose feeling doubt I'm the
one whose living with it all
JIMMY JOHNSON
I remember well Holding him down Silent
under due his torture Tortures me now Pounding the mold ??? Why did they put
Jimmy Johnson In a prison, didn't belong In some new school he might find others
just like him Obviously he's retarded (look at your kids) Look at what they see
Focus on an easy target Torment the freak One golden rule Children are cruel No
one here's more Jimmy Johnson But where the kids are rotten Jimmy Make us proud
Jimmy Johnson Our brother And only son So sorry Please forgive us For all that
we done We thought it would be best for you if you could coexist We had to put
you to the test
EAT YOUR WORDS
Wait For us We come content in the
back of the bus Guilty of the time you spend serving There's someone left to
give you up But you're not Laboring the thought of something incomplete No one
lives exception to this passing grief Unstable in your voice agrees Pleading to
me You can't lie to me honestly To me I will eat your words every tenth You got
just numb There's always someone here for more I always listen to, act sense
Wasting time while time is wasting you and I never left I just shut up Still I
can hear it from your mouth Counting Seconds With a grain of hope unto thirst
Julie You will eat your words and your verbs And you will fast disappear
WANT
been staring for a hundred hours run down a
spiral drain keep mouth clamped tight, and it isn't right three words keep
running round my mind but my tongue is hard to find i need to let it go, because
i know dark secrets burn their vessel tearing out to grab a mouthful chunk of
heart destroyed by quiet yell it out before it kills you now let it all out used
to let rumors do my work they got around real well now they only hurt, it's a
liar's quirk this time i gotta say it straight i mean to do some good i'm
calling out your name, while the chance remains i want you... so now you know
where i come from my secret's come undone my heart revealed my cause i'm lying
naked at your feet don't crush the heart that bleeds take me at my word, it may
sound absurd but i want you...

RANDAL GETS DRUNK
He shouts fire in a crowded room
With some conscience intend Draws a jaggy great line between Freedom and excess
He returns it with a sound of hope And falling on ? Randal gets drunk Randal
have fun
RAISE A FAMILY
Maybe I'm just thirty and I don't
want to go to parties anymore Only really need a few close friends I'm just
tryin' to keep the hair on my head I think it's time we tie the knot and You and
I can make some babies marriage, mortgage can't afford it we are destined to
fail lots of time, we are late what the hell smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy as found me gotta have a family Boys will tell you they'll take care of
you But I can tell you, girl, that there is only one thing that you're after We
ain't got no money, honey, it's true ten thousand vacant In the place where
Elvis said "I Do" "love me tender" four kids, food stamps trying to make words
count endless days of minimum wage love is ours, food's a dream a better day two
kids, two cars life insurance, credit cards carry on the legacy It's time to
raise a family

FREEDOM OF CHOICE
A victim of collision on the open
sea Nobody ever said, life's for free Sink, swim, go down with the ship Use your
freedom of choice I'll say it again, in the land of the free Use your freedom of
choice Your freedom of choice It makes you run There was a ?? About a dog?? ??
He picked the one He licked the other He ran in circles He's not dead! Freedom
of choice Is what you've got Freedom of choice Then if you got you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of ?God? Don't be tricked by what you see You got two ways
to go I'll say it again, in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Your
freedom of choice Freedom of choice Is what you've got Freedom of choice It
makes you run There was a ?? About a dog?? ?? He licked the one He nicked the
other He ran in circles He's not dead! Freedom of choice Is what you've got
Freedom for choice Is what you want Freedom of choice Is what you've got Freedom
of choice
BRODEO
Forgive you That's what you want You roll
back in your ways fit And I'm all torn up I bury promise here You would come
back once your feelings are ??? When you found me Here in that pit No one here
Can sing your song Just invite the idiots And sing along I bet you love people
You were a flower on the wall, I Built you block up the bricks I used to No one
here Can sing your song Just invite the idiots And sing along
DRIVE BY
I met her in transit on board time I was
abducted for a short time The door was open but she fit inside she left me out
here to justify And pain is here now in some form of goodbye but you died, yes
you died I knew your secret I'm stuck in time I met you in transit with five
other ghosts You ran me over reckless but true emptied by oceans my eye's a
desert of dry expecting you to drive by I want to see you I want to see you to
tell you I'm sorry And pain is here now in some form of goodbye I've been
expecting you I've been expecting I met her in transit on her way home She left
us out here I wanna know she made it back to them
WIND IN YOUR SAIL
It's negative I wish you the worst
dear, to feel the greatest
pain A positive You say it's all in vain I know I
felt, and I won't feel again I know you Hours of madness, years of dysfunction,
the deepest embitterment No will to strive or achieve, finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees, as you crawl back to me It ends like this I can
hope for bliss, if you fail again 'Cause I'm right here, to witness every step
And when you trip, I will cherish it Hours of madness, years of dysfunction, the
deepest embitterment No will to strive or achieve, finally in breakdown
Perpetual fall on your knees, as you crawl back to me I live to watch you fail,
I live to watch you fail I live to watch you fail, I am the wind in your sail I
wish you the worst dear, to feel the greatest pain 'Cause I'm right here, to
retrieve all you stole Every tear, and everything you own I wish you Hours of
madness, years of dysfunction, the deepest embitterment No will to trust anyone
This is how I lived, this is how you left me blue And I'd crawl back to you.
OVER THE HILL
Scaling the mountain, I have giving up
my pride And I've taken to disrupt the edge of rose thorns in my side It's fatal
contribution, it's bitter sweet and blind And I'm balancing the mountain of
compromise I went over the hill to be with you I went over the hill I am over
the hill to be with you Am I holding on 'til last or holding on to lies? Staying
in position objectivity goes by 'Cause it's hard to ignore losing when you're
winning all the time And no way to this to help me, the silly populous 'Cause
commitment is restraining and I can't cope I went over the hill Over the hill I
am over the hill to be with you Am I holding on 'til last or holding on to lies?
Breakfast at your house as my disposition's gone And I close my eyes to search
in treasuring what I once was I let go of the nose and free the kin I'm falling
from the game and landed on foot
DEFEAT YOU
I don't wanna defeat you I don't wanna be
sad I don't wanna forgive you I don't wanna be mad 'Cause it's always Say what
you wanted to say as you're walking away And I can't take this disappointment
again And I'm waiting... I don't wanna be near you I don't wanna be far I don't
wanna forgive you But I wanted to start 'Cause it's always Say what you wanted
to say as you're walking away And I can't take this silent treatment again And
I'm waiting, and I'm waiting... For you I don't wanna defeat you I don't wanna
be mad I don't wanna forgive you I don't wanna be sad Yes it's always Say what
you wanted to say as you're walking away And I can't take this silent treatment
again And I'm waiting, and I'm waiting... For you For you
LAYMENS TERMS
If you could say something that
fascinated me the air in your small world might clear to breathe lamens terms
king of fools illiterate you'd rather be in this back seat playing to the
gallery and they remember all their lines they all remember the dirt I'm through
humoring you I am learning to hate you It's true I'm through humoring you I've
been drinking and sleeping my enemies' holiday ends Identified we speak untruths
because there's strength in numbers forced to relate in a world depraved
Identify along we speak in tongues give me lamens terms the air in this small
world might clear but they won't remember you they will remember the dirt, the
joke I'm through humoring you I am learning to hate you It's true I'm through
humoring you I've been living and dying my enemies' holiday ends lamens terms
king of fools walk with you walk with you
THE CHAMP
I begin to hear you You're the poster job
Give them all a fading smile Entertain an ocean You can't go outside Failure is
around the corner As you watched you talk it over None of it's enough Everyone's
too much You're sounding out the dollars Anyone can smile Anyone... Seven empty
futures 24 goodbye's Empty backstage full of people And it's all bullshit Your
words seem to say nothing Try to recall emission The thoughts you hear, remember
when Where has it gone? You wanted to roll the dice Anyone can choose Anyone can
lose Someday standing in the overwhelming Anyone can act Anyone... Though the
nameless faces leave you a stranger The city changes, it may stay the same
Everyone is waiting for the day you fail
DEMENTED RUMORS
Let me get this straight Your buddy
died, Tuesday, right? But today is Saturday and I saw him last night No, I
wasn't seeing things and I wasn't drunk I can't believe you just laughed, that's
fucked Some you call your friends show no remorse in the end They laugh at you,
when are you spent So often the rumors too little to take But a lot more in time
Demented rumors and everything's changed Demented rumors The lies of the
friends, so I went calling for the end I'm feeling tied, I can't hide I'm
suffering the one, why oh why did he died All the dismay, chance of a live
Demented rumors and everything's changed Demented rumors I stayed up last night
for a friend I thought I'd never see again Because you called me up and said
he's dead How can you speak before you Think about what you're saying How can
you say these things? You say it's your sense of humor ?? Whose gonna laugh when
you're gone? Whose gonna cry when you're gone? Whose gonna cry...
