I’ve got a one-way ticket to Crazy Town
Where they can never keep a good woman down.
One might suspect fatherless behavior.
Mine asked for a favor
While he was out buying booze
And came back less than enthused
To tell me his body is breaking down particle by particle.
Death, with a full moon under his hood, strokes his sickle
As it drools for a tendon to sever.
I watch the blood trickle
From my w...
I
don’t wanna
Say goodbye
But I can’t find away to make it out alive
Please know
I have tried
But I can’t find away to make it out alive
So goodbye
So goodbye
So goodbye
So goodbye
So goodbye it’s time to get high again
And I can’t seem to get you out my head I swear
When I die just think about all the times we shared
Because that time was time well spent
And I can’t help but cry ...
Shadows of past lives whisper through the dark,
Lingering in devastated stories of families
Crushed into dust.
A lone bicycle wanders through a deserted park
To witness a metal swing sway in the wind,
Echoing with rust.
Families that thought they could live forever
Ached with bottomless pits of despair
As they tried to navigatee a world severed
From maps of memories, and histories laid bare.

100 yıl Yaşasak da gezsek diyarları,
türlü türlü envai çeşit yesek kavurma ile sebzeleri,
Ne kadar gitmem diye diretsen de kalsan bu dertli dünyada, ölümlüsün çaren de yok bahanen de, gireceksin o toprağa.
Her nefis ölümü tadacaktır der Kur'an, ölümlü olmayı hatırlatır bize kainatı Cihan,
Dertten, tasadan hayat telaşından uzaklaşırken heyhat,
Ölümlü olmanın huzurunu saracaktır bedenimizi gö...
Silence…
Not growing or abating
Is it possible to handle it
Finality is in my name every time I speak it
If I look down at the hole I’ll see it’s taller than I
Can I beg them to make it shallower
Can I be closer to the sky
Can it be my last wish
Before the silence reaches me and all I ever was… an indentation on the crust...
I take a drink
Of sweet nectar
And then I realize it’s poison
What if I crave something poisonous?
I hold the metal blade
It’s cool and soothing
And then I realize it’s a knife
What if I crave something sharp?
I plunge into the water
It swirls around me and I feel at peace
And then I realize I can’t swim
What if I crave something that can swallow me?
What if I crave something that can kill?
In...
It occurred to me this evening
As I was driving on my way
Watching the leaves of fall and
The macabre decorations sway
All the things we’ve come to fear
The things that make us hide our eyes
All the monsters that we shy from
Are the phantom death in disguise
There’s those that now return from death
The skeletons and ghosts and zombies too
And those by rites that conquered death
The mummie...
