the flyover
Once upon a restless night I awoke once again around 3 stumbled to the dining room table and clicked on the sleeping pc it has been quite some time since I've watched the 3rd trip on the spirit box I must admit I'm a bit leery for each time I watch it mocks me and the brand new spirit box itself never worked again to hell with the rhyming the...

ADD
I don't listen very well, so I lose the gist of what we are saying. It frustrates me because you don't want people to think you're not listening. There has always been a problem with my listening skills, so i pretend to hear I nod my head in affirmation but I think people can read through the gibberish. It is so frustrating and discouraging...

The play
The stage is set The mask is on Lose yourself Just a bit more Words spill out So rehearsed The way it is The status quo Broken down Words so worn No, buckle up Face the storm The end is near The lie is sown I want to scream Silence endures Sirens song calls on me Into the depths, never free For now, the curtains call The ritual...

When There Are Birds In Your Chest
Tell me a story of the atrium and the sun roof Of a time Where a bird that was part of the songs outside Got trapped inside Did it rap against the roses in the stained glass With its wings? Oh, daddy, wasn't it a needless and horrible show? And the light bled red In the late afternoon all of the colors warmed up Before the sun set And the light...

U
Im really trying here Rain running down my cheeks Thunderstorm in my head led me so far Did we ever love Did we ever get along You met me at a bong Did we ever really know each other Or did I ever really know myself Until now I have only started to know myself What I do Who I am What I want How selfish I truly am These words are so late in the...

Help Me, Hear Me O Lord
Help me Lord, be a little stronger Give me strength to carry on. The struggles seem so hard to bear I'm losing the battle I thought I had won. Hear me Lord, when I call on You Calm this chaos and storms in my life Give me peace, I humbly bow and pray Watch over me and always be by my side. I stand amazed at the power of your love I can't...

Ghost of THe Dust
Do not go gentle Into this night Let the mind cast its dreamy mantle Into the dying light Into the event horizon The blurring of light from the guttural explosion of a thousandfold stardust rises the zero-dawn The Ghost of The Dust Arise ye Tarnished Thy felled warrior waiting for parole Shine with the rage of ten thousand suns Breathe life...

By a Big Body of Water
Fools find bliss in their unknowing While intellectuals suffer The calculation of never Finding out as the wind blows old Photos of deceased people down The street in black and white, they catch The shine of the sun so that they Flicker and flap along slowly Through the stale summer air floating Softly you know their faces or You don't give...

Time To Face It, The Fight Is Gone
When the attacks come And I need to fight, I find There’s nothing left inside, The tank is empty The coal’s run out The sun won’t shine I use to hide in this place, Never used my name Never showed my face Now there’s no more strength To fight or to hide It’s time to save what’s left And just survive. My name is Gary Vetro. I have spent my whole...

Happiness
Happiness There are a few special moments in life, When the heart is intoxicated with elation and ebullience, When a blissful state of mind permeates through every cell in the body, When the soul is exhilarated, expressing friendliness and tenderness, When love radiates an aura of exceptional beauty and magical grace, And when the euphoria of a...

Ressurection
Death, you are eternal life the freedom of the heart from the mind and soul and sleep comes in jubilant peace What are we but prisoners waiting for our parole. Infinite life growing growing inside the cavity of the foeti The continuous flow of unlimited growth When the all the "me's" dissolves in the "I"s The completion of a jaded soul like salt...
