8:05 PM - Mench.

Repaying vanity with acts of kindness, my hollow is hollow.

Wrong time. Right place. Giving and taking everything pushes me off balance.

Burning from both ends, the tallow melts away leaving a flimsy piece of string. Two flames dangerously close.

I hate feeling like this.

Getting away with more than I deserve. And not.

Two people. Both people. Living Gemini.

This is retarded.

2:15 PM - Detroit. Detroit.

Detroit. Detroit.
Two cities, neither of which I see.
Where did you go?
That afternoon when everyone packed up and left your streets deserted.
Your windows hollow.
Heatless steam rising from dried up sewers.

Your survivors fill my seats.
Their applause bounces tinny off the peeling walls of a faded theater.
When the lights come up what do they call home?
Detroit, where are you?

12:54 AM - No more cigarettes.

I quit twenty three days ago and was just fine up until last Wednesday, now it's really hard.
What is it about cold depressing towns like Hamilton, Ontario and Detroit, MI that make me want to smoke?

Discuss.

4:46 AM - Why am I still up?

there's nothing waiting for me in dreams
eyes kept open in the hopes of a message
an image
a call
a voice to tell me i'm hallucinating
there's nothing wrong
that i don't actually feel this way

but eyes keep returning to a circle of chapped skin where a ring used to be

i want to cover it up.
pretend.

solace comes in song
comfort in quarter time

consolation in the bitterness of fools
stuck in time keeping time

everyone here has issues
someone they lost along the way
travelling together lonely

all pass through the night
hours alone in our cells
finding sleep at sunrise

finding peace
'till housekeeping knocks
a reminder
you are far
far from home

two more minutes
it'll be okay

two more minutes
someone will wake up

two more minutes
someone will call

two more minutes
another song to remind you what's gone

verse

it's over

verse

let go

verse

can't

chorus

this hurts

just stay with me for the night
just so i can sleep

just so i can sleep

just so i can sleep

3:43 AM - A Pirates Life For Me

forty winks since last I've seen home
el mirage she sails eighty mph.
ladies of the evening sing
a sirens' song in every saloon

whiskey and beer dull the shine of the lone star
dust collecting on my boots
dig my heels into the sides of any thing I ride
just want to feel some life between my legs

pound the decks with a broom
soot and smoke fill my lungs
skin on my hands getting thicker
bring me to port, there's a storm

sea came up
clouds rolled over
ships been flipped
capsized and drowning

fuck you

come any closer and I'll kill you
water in my lungs feels just fine
save yourself
I'll sink with the boat....
...it's just another journey

mark the days on my arms
a calendar in skin
serving out my sentence at sea

we waltz and sway
stomp and sing
the tide's gonna take me away
away...


"Sure I'll see shore.
One of these days.
And when I return,
She'll have married a king

Knowing that rowing,
Will keep me on course.
Sails full of wind,
Could've carried the thing.

No worry. No hurry,
She needs you no more
And getting there faster,
Won't lessen the sting."


rhymes and rhythm
to keep from the life I'm missing
the girl I'm missing
the love I'm losing


"Let my tears salt your glass
Toast my pain, as you pass.
I'll take my regrets
To-go.

With a passionate flourish
Sing one final chorus
Then drink up my love
Yo-Ho!"

11:14 PM - Today is a good day.

My insomnia is leading me to live in a present time.
Inspiration abounds and I fill up.
Able to take in the power and beauty of my youth.
Lucky for the friends I have.
The life I love.
The notes come with ease today.
Beats sitting between beats like they're in their favorite chair.
All around me are these talented people wordlessly encouraging me to succumb to my self. Impossibly in love with the possibility of positively living out this love, I love, for the rest of my life.
So slough off slumber for a few more seconds that'll bleed into hours like the sanguine stuff of my veins.
Faithful to this new found delirium.
Pie-eyed, prepare for the stage.
Overwhelmed with the overture in my frontal lobe I am overjoyed, my time here, far from over.
On the other side of dreams, I wake with a smile.
