It’s been a long day, but the night has just begun
You know the ghosts come out with the setting of the sun
And it’s a small world but you ain’t seen nothing yet
And if you stood where I stand, you’d be calling off your bets
[The freaks come out at night; you’d better grip your sanity tight
It ain’t pretty, no, it ain’t right, so just ride this high until the morning light]
Time stands still when the shadow takes its hold
You lost control, that’s a tale too often told
So you never shied away from a bit of magic dust
That’s a surefire way to wind up face down in the mud
[ . . . ]
The freaks come out at night; you’d better grip your sanity tight
Shame and spite
Ride this high until the morning
Above the snow-capped mountains soaring
Fall so far and curse the morning light.

You!

You landed on my mind like a spark from up high, a touch of the divine
Now I am touched with a taint
And it’s a fervent frenzy, have you got an ear to lend me?
Winding and wending, the tale is never ending
Circular psychosis again
I cannot calm myself; sweaty palms and failing health
Or am I just dramatic and dense?
I’ve been through this, felt the sickly kiss of another shaky dawn clawing at my wits
Choice of numbing poison or pain
The roots are strong, and they’ve been through hell
But will the sprout survive? Only time will tell, and it’s you
[Oh God I’m playing the fool
But this time the torture was true
Right out of context I flew
Let me try again, now]
God let me try again now
I’m wading through a nightmare
But at least I’m getting somewhere
Thinking it through, Thinking of you
Fall so heavy, won’t you let me
Won’t you let me try again, now?
Thinking of you!
[ . . . ]
At least I’m getting somewhere
At least I…

Habit Formed
Maybe we should quit drinking
it just fuels my negative thinking
I think we should stop the smoking
I can’t breathe, I feel like I’m choking
And all of those little tablets
They make us babble incoherently
I’m just starting to feel a bit weirdly now
But what would my peers say
If I decided to get sober today?
My heart is beating at a weird pace
Maybe ‘cuz I’ve been awake for three days
Can’t stop now, think of the consequence
Don’t know how, think I’ll stay on the fence
I need my booze, need my smokes, need my porno, and my bong tokes
What would I do if I were to lose the ability to force tranquility?
What would I do?
Out of my life, go to hell, out of my life
Out of my life, straight to hell
Out of my life
My heart is beating at a weird pace
Maybe ‘cuz I’ve been awake for three days now.

Why are all these thoughts so believable if it’s not remotely possible
To be friends, in a metaphorical sense, with the demons that reside in the corners of existence?
If they control, they run you aground
Exact a toll so dark and profound
Maniacally stable
Contained and directed
Surprisingly capable
Attuned and unaffected
Strike a chord that you find relatable, to find the anchor real and attainable
Don’t let the storm drag you down into that hole, so dark and profound.
