Born to the world, just a modest man.
Dealt a short straw, not the greatest hand.
Enjoyed the simple things, with just his feet in the sand.
The world on his plate and he knew it weren't grand.
My Mother and My Father
To a Son they do not know
My Sister and My Brother
The Only ones who show...
Empathy and no Pity.
He Grows old with fear
the only voice of reason is the sound in his ear.
Feels every breath on his back
head held under water for the courage he lacks.
Weight of the world, sittin' on his back
scared of the world he will never bite back.
Weight of the world, sittin' on his back
scared of the world he will never, ever, ever, ever bite back.

The Great Deep Sleeper

The beat slows down and heart loses pace,
slip into a slumber and imagine a face,
dream about the day where the soul has no keeper,
known to the world as the great deep sleeper.
brought to their knees with their head in their hands,
washed upon the shores of hell's black sand.
known to the world as the great deep sleeper,
known to the world as the great deep sleeper.
A bed made of dirt is my resting place.
no signs of despair on my weathered face.
while I dreamt about the day when my soul had no keeper,
I am dead to the world just another deep sleeper.
Crowds gathered around like legions of fans
as I bury my toes in Heaven's white sand.
I am dead to the world just another deep sleeper,
I am dead to the world just another deep sleeper.
So separate my skin from flesh
while I'm greeted at the gate by the angel of death.
The lyin' priest has said the word,
now feed me to the flock of the circling birds.
Maggot Food
Rottin' wood
Passage due
Gone for good.

My time is up, the day is done,
And all that I've found,
Is that I never let my feet
touch the ground
and when I hear that voice
it's the most comforting sound.
Then I know that it's time
to lay my head back down.
