Deserted Madness

For me 
For me
The desert is free
For me 
For me
The place to be

The heat is dry
The sun is bright
Cactuses look friendlier
In the silver shine
Of the moon at night
Oh, what a life

Something tells me
I'm not alone
Visitors are watching
From up above
A desert rose
For the one I love

Space in the heavens
And Space below
It's just me and you, pal
There's nowhere to go
Stars become diamonds
More precious than gold

Take a deep breath
The air is pure
The middle of the night
Not a soul stirs
Peace of mind
Better than any cure

The desert has no friends
It has no enemies
It keeps your secrets
It kills you softly 
You'll want to leave
You'll love her madly

Q&A

Give me the answer
I'm not looking anymore
Say it to my face
You're becoming a bore
Tell me your fantasies
Tell me some more

I've lost my patience
Awaiting quietly in the shadows
It's been far too long
I'm diving head first into the world
Like a new born
Tell me everything you know

Anger and fury
The eye of the storm
Eat my misery
With a spoon or with a fork
I want it no more
Make a line, have a snort

Deranged
My marbles are lost
The bag ripped open
Read it twice, thrice
Four times
Five

Heavy riff
A cool swing
Beat the drum slowly
Entering
"Hello world"
Yelling

Soeaking in actions
Words are useless
Give me and answer
To the millions of questions
That run in circles
Inside my head

Gone Fishing

Rolling in bed
Can't sleep
Tired 
But can't dream
I close my eyes
And count up sheep

The motor is humming
Brain is numbing
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
I can't find the thought
That will let me rest

Deep breath
Long sigh
Looking out the wet window
At the dark sky
Raindrops sooth 
But I still can't snooze

Tell me a story
Of unicorns and fairies
Nah, fuck that
Tell me a bloodcurdling memory
An eerie fable
Of ghosts, murderers, and crazies

Down a long deserted road
I find peace in woe
I think of the lovers
That left me alone
My eyes never close
Hoping for hope

I park the truck
Boots stomp on the ground
Walking towards the river
I cast out my rod
I sit and ponder
Gone fishing
