Change
All those things that have gone from your life, moon boots, TVtrays, and the Soviet Union, that seem to have vanished, arereally only changed, dinosaurs did not disappear from the earth but evolved into birds and crock pots became bread makers. Everything around you changes. It seems at times (only for amoment) that your wife, the woman you love, might actually be your first wife in another form. It's a thought not to be pursued.... Nothing is the same as it used to be. Except you, of course,You haven't changed ... well, slowed down a bit, perhaps. It's more difficult nowadays to deal with the speed of change, dis-turbing to suddenly find yourself brushing your teeth with what appears to be a flashlight. But essentially you are the same as ever, constant in your instability.

When will I – Monte Montgomery
Yesterday, when my love was far away.
In the arms of another man, oh.
Don't you know it made my heart beat slow?
In the past, I had a love made my heart beat fast.
She made me feel good, good, good.
She left me right where I stood.
When will I? When will I? When will I?
When will I look back and laugh?
When will I? When will I?
When will I look back at life, When will I look back and laugh?
Once upon a time when my heart was strong,
I was younger and I didn't much care.
I said no one could hurt me there.
Now that I've been broken in four or five.
I decided I was wrong, wrong, wrong.
Hope I didn't wait too long.
When will I? When will I? When will I?
When will I look back and laugh?
When will I? When will I?
When will I look back at life, When will I look back and laugh?
A long time ago, I left a woman 'cause she couldn't let go
I was putting on my walking shoes,
She was crying out some genuine blues.
Well I've lived a life, full of troubles and lovers and strife.
I'm trying to understand what went wrong.
While I'm standing here singing this song.
When will I? When will I? When will I?
When will I look back and laugh?
When will I? When will I?
When will I look back at life, When will I look back and laugh?

BELZEBUB?
The judgment of a stranger in a digital land
Holding in his hand
The book of judgment he thinks he understands
Pouring through his fingers like dry sand
I have no choice but to demand
Before the love runs from my tear gland
That I have to believe in Him or it or them
And Forgive

The Waking Eyes - On A Train
Here smokin' on a train Leanin' on the pain 'Cause all I have is my own hard luck Yeah I took off Had to get away I didn't want to pay a penance to all the cold hard luck Somehow I knew your intention was to Wrap me up around and around Lock me away So I just put my foot on the ground I walked away No way to tell me when I screw it up again Falling victim to my hard luck Yeah I was blind I just couldn't find Your silhouette behind the spectre of all my hard luck again Somehow I knew your intention was to Wrap me up around and around Lock me away So I just put my foot on the ground I walked away I'm leavin' babe To go back to my place Get out of the rat race Those at the table are ready and able To put something on it It better be chronic Watchin' the night slip away Wrap me up around and around Lock me away Wrap me up around and around Lock me away So I just put my foot on the ground I walked away Wrap me up around and around Just lock me away Wrap me up around and around I walked away So I'm leavin' on a train

"Hurt"
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
the only thing that's realthe needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
try to kill it all awaybut I remember everything
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
everyone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of shit upon my liar's chair
full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feeling disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
what have I become?
my sweetest friendeveryone I know
goes away in the end
you could have it all
my empire of dirt
I will let you downI wil
l make you hurt
if I could start againa million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way

Same but Different
I stepped out of the grayness of a long winter’s play
Into the blindinglight of the wakening new day.
The cool fresh breezeof morning fills the room as the crew
Of rain andsun ready the seeds that are the stage
Act two:
But there are no new lines tomemorize.
They come from the same cold pages these
Wordsthat are life, day in and out with
The theater onthe same corner... waits.
The scenery ischanging to a brighter backdrop while
Costumes grow shorter.
Feet are bare on the fresh earth
That is stillcool and wet from the morning.
The sun is movingcloser to dry life’s rostrum warm.
Why do thewords of this new hue seem so much sweeter?
This new passion in the words dead of winter seem to beckon
A rebirth of the same circumstance
But
With a fresh coat of paint.
Why does it come now when winter is gone?

Who am I?
On a good day
A troubadour without inspiration
Cold, Colder, and Coldest
Tall yet low
Slow yet the fastest
Tired
Hungary
Lonely
Consolidated in the hour
Happily indifferent
Surrounded lovingly
Ambitiously lazy
Greedy and green
Intimately purple
Impassively brown
Abominator of all
Lover of more
Absent and resurrected
God knows
I desire
A day
A night
Bread at light
Wine of dusk
Sleep of grievance
Waking the storm
Inactively aggressive
Ideas abound
Dying is inescapable
No surrogate found
