Manifestations

You put a hole in my back with your double edged sword
but somehow you dodged the blow
You put a hole in my vessel and I've been sinking to a new, new low
Is a wild animal worse than a wild imagination?
I put myself in danger with my own manifestations
A beast with a lust for blood will seek out it's
prey in a glutton for punishment
They'll exploit all of their shortcomings
and use them to their advantage
Digging up deeper to find new ways
to nullify all of their leverage
The dirt that we sling over our shoulders
Will fill the holes where we buried our courage

I could think of a thing or two
to say to your face but I'll bite my tongue
You should have thought twice
before you bold faced lied
or at least you should have held your own
Our ideals are too different
How could I've overlooked it for so long?
Boy I don't care who you are...
You oughta know what's right from wrong
Negligence for issues or just general ignorance
Either I look at it the same and it won't be dismissed
How is it so hard to know where you should draw the line?
I won't ever wrap my head around this non-victimless crime

Boyington's Oak

What have you gotten yourself into?
You pissed everything you had away
and no one cared because the evidence was obvious
They shall not hear out the words you say
You stabbed a man on Church Street to
collect the debt that he would never pay
And as they take you to the gallows,
there were the words that you proclaimed
May an oak tree sprout up from my heart,
the roots will grow and spread and take it's place
to prove to Heaven, God, and everything else above me
I swear I was innocent that day
And just outside those graveyard walls,
that oak tree stands to this day
Nearly 200 years have passed since the execution
and I know that he still haunts his shallow grave

cuticle song

I could bite my nails into the quick and
chew the skin off my fingertips
But it won't do any good to make me bleed
They'll claim it's just a phase
when the things that haunt you
possess the way, the way
you stop feeling at home in your own mind
But I know better than anyone that
it is darkest before the sun
Just keep your headlights on
and we'll make it home
Unwelcome sense of impending doom
coerces you to exist in the nest room
and forces your consciousness to go blind
But I know better than anyone
that what seems good for you
is bad in the long run
and you won't even know
until it's gone

What seems logical to the majority
will be maddening for a few
And they have us outnumbered,
so what are we to do?
With stupidity at it's finest
and it's finest men out front
Reason has no power here
Tenacity bears the brunt
What is routine for the spiders
will cause panic amongst the flies
Caught in their webs and just waiting
to inevitably die
When there's so many people
who are compliant to fall in line
when clearly what they follow
is not God's intended design
