think youre a slam poet nowwell, my fatherMore Like This
he thought he was a cowboy,
he thought he was a yank
he thought everyone he met was his partner in crime
and life was an all end all shoot-em-up
he told stories
and he taught me how to dance with drunks.
well my mother,
she thought i was a changeling,
she thought the world was out to get her
she taught me
well she taught me that innocence is fragile
and that what is sweet often sours,
that madness is not the kind of disease we think it is.
and i grew up
wanting to create something beautiful
or hideous
or both at the same time
with my little hands, and big eyes
and that used to scare me
terrify me,
cause contradictions in my head
at night, when i dream't
with my hand against my ear
thinking the pounding of blood vessels
was the pounding of the big bad wolf coming to get me
and i would dream of the world
ending
with the trampling of a flower,
no sir,
these eyes
they are not haunted
but they are inhabited,
because
i have a soul sir,
and i won't sell it
not for your pennies

Just a little bit more
I’m just barely hanging on to what used to be.
I’m just making myself be content with what is.
Just a little talk
Just a little bit less
I’m just trying to make the connection.
I’m just hoping I’ll be answered.
Just a little tension
Just a lot of tension
I’m just trying to make things better
I’m just hoping the storm will pass.
Just a little confusion
Just some confusion
I’m just wondering why things are changing.
I’m just waiting for the change to stop.
