Wise Cracks

You
Always joke
All the time
Better Stop
Or you’ll find
Your body’s flopped
On the ground
Covered in slime
Why
Do you jest
When you know
This is no test
Let
Me show you my
New martial art
Called “art of choke”
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop
Ears
To the ground
Never up
To hear a sound
But
I’m warning you
To ignore
Just won’t do
Our leaders
Are corrupt
And their tempers
Will erupt
I’m saying
This for you
Otherwise
You’ll be run through
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
Your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop
Your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop your wise cracks
You need to stop

Lick Your Lips
03:26
|
|||
|
Sun shines brightly in your eyes
Muscles toiling, no surprise
Salivating with your glands
Better rest your tired hands
Bat your lashes just this once
Sneak a drink while backs are turned
If your slip earned you a punch
Please know your lesson was learned
Trapped outside
Nowhere to hide
People all around
No respite to be found
You spent your days at home
Warned that it wouldn’t do
Now you feel like a gnome
Lost here without a clue
As strangers now surround you
Please do accept my tips
Don’t let problems compound, new
And never lick your lips
Trapped outside
Nowhere to hide
People all around
No respite to be found

Blood in the Night

Careful, you be
Listen to me
These sprites will bite
Humans, a feast
They may look cute
But don’t be fooled
They’ll turn you blue
Your blood congealed
These little pixies are out for blood!
They will drink your veins dry
They will make you cry
These little pixies are out for blood!
They will drink your veins dry
They will make you cry
Your time’s run out
Soon you’ll be cold
If you don’t hide
Death will take hold
Bring your darkest net
And a trusted friend
One they won’t forget
As some lives end
These little pixies are out for blood!
They will drink your veins dry
They will make you cry
These little pixies are out for blood!
They will drink your veins dry
They will make you cry
Running and crashing
Fighting and thrashing
Running and crashing
Fighting and thrashing
You’ve done all you can hope to do
Better hope your plans pull through
These little pixies are out for blood!
They will drink your veins dry
They will make you cry
These little pixies are out for blood!
They will drink your veins dry
They will make you cry
They will make you cry

Flesh-Eaters
05:22

|
(These are the flesh eaters)
They’ll take a bite out of your flesh
Leave you lying there in discomfort, scratching away
You might have dressed your best
But you’re fresh until death
Reconsider the possibility of leaving the safety of your home
When the sun goes down their work has only just begun
Maybe just one, or two, or three doesn’t seem so bad
But depending on where you live, their bites could drive you mad
We’ve been warned to avoid standing water, so keep yourself dry
These creatures are rather small, so don’t look too high in the sky
I’ll get my shots and so will you
But even then we won’t be safe
Opportunity knocks us over as these creatures acquire new communicable diseases
Tell me you’re wearing long sleeves
Not just long ones but thick ones
They say it’s how you use it that counts
But when you’re outnumbered you need sheer strength
Keep your windows closed if you don’t have screens
Elsewise your night might be full of shrill screams
We were saved by these things
When aliens were convinced they were endangered
In some countries they swarm all around
It’s not possible for you to avoid
If you’re already sick, your problems compound
You need more than an Altoid
Some pacifists will not harm these small things
That may not be so wise
It’s hard to fly away without wings
So much worse than just flies

Rage
03:33
|
|||
|
Skipping out on obligations
Constantly cause me frustrations
Not just making me irate
I want to decapitate
Why do you keep saying yes
To things you will not do?
I can only make one guess
It’s because you’re a darn fool
I don’t like it... like it at all
This behavior makes me hope you fall
I don’t like it... like it at all
This behavior makes me hope you fall
It fills me with rage!
Get off the stage!
It fills me with rage!
Get off the stage!
So we’re back here
This is where we started
You ought to be nowhere near
Incompetent, you should have darted
Now it’s time to show your colors
Lips now slide into a grin
But we’re not your sisters and brothers
This is a sad game you won’t win
I don’t like it... like it at all
This behavior makes me hope you fall
I don’t like it... like it at all
This behavior makes me hope you fall
It fills me with rage!
Get off the stage!
Rage!!
Get off the stage!

Passion
03:05

You throw me under the bus
And don’t expect me to fuss
Whenever you contemplate choice
You only hear your own voice
Just because that works for you
Doesn’t mean I will have to
Now please get out of my face
You pompous, stinky disgrace
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
Spreading rumors about the room
These are vicious lies
Don’t you want this to be your tomb?
Maybe open your eyes
You invest so very much money
In the things you talk down
So when next you think you’re funny
I can only frown
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
You can’t stop me, I won’t hide it
It’s my passion
You can’t stop me
I won’t hide it
You can’t stop me
I won’t hide it
You can’t stop me
I won’t hide it
You can’t stop me

Sheets Like Paper
07:51
|

|
Rain falls in sheets like paper
Leafing through the tangled branches and chutes
Like a gun about to burst at the seams of the
Clothing, no longer open for use but disuse
Sheets like paper
Tire from the reel, spinning softly and gently
“We care, you see,” you say, precariously
The motor hums like a bird, its mechanisms flapping
A thousand times in the span of a single breath
Sheets like paper
You realize you haven’t eaten yet today
Why is it that you tend to forget when your heart disrupts,
Erupts in an explosive, ebullient way and smothers all
Reason in its path, caring not, nor making time for rhyme
Sheets like paper
Spiders dance their sacred step below and within an
Ancient shape, roughly hewn from a legacy of use
Within is a labyrinth of webs, each telling a story
Whose echoes have yet to surpass its creaking doors
Sheets like paper
