Title: I Drink Alone
Category: Poem
Published: N/A
Date: Summer 2006

i want to run naked
through the city
screaming
this is bullshit
and leave nothing
but burning rubble
in my wake
i want firecrackers
to sear wrinkles
in your
botox smile
because the media
(and testosterone)
tell me
i must inseminate
the woman with the
largest breasts
and smallest hips
so another
complacent ingrate
can spill
from her cunt
and rape the planet

Title: The Undoing of David Wright
Category: Album Review
Published: Among Us Zine (publish date pending)
Date: July 29, 2006

If you were to pummel an ipod loaded with Birthday Party and Thrill Kill Kult tracks through a sonic supercollider the result would come close to The Undoing of David Wright. These Denton death rock darlings infuse a diverse array of influences - post-punk, no-wave, new wave, punk, hardcore, glam, electroclash, industrial, garage rock, and more - leaving baffled reviewers stumped for a way to pigeonhole them. Their innovative aesthetics, creative story telling, pounding rhythms, and raucous live show, however, never fail to pack performances with the gyrating bodies of smiling fans.

Title: Warning

Date: Spring 2005

Baby, baby Camelot's burning
Your castle has crumbled
Hapilly ever after
Was lost in the rubble
So entertain your new fairy tales
A dillema born by delusion
I'll go back to where I started
Bound by vice and confusion

Date: Spring 2005

If looks could kill you know your lover would be gone
Because I was starin' him down for you doing me wrong
If looks could kill blood would pour from his eyes
If looks could kill he'd fall down and die

(chorus)If looks could kill this iris would tear assunder
Beckon plagues and commit murder
If looks could kill bodies would pile deep
Behind the alley's where sweetheart's creep

Title: Valentine Day Massacre
Category: Poetry
Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2002

Red, red like the sun your fiery lips
As you vacate the car without word or kiss
Leaving no passenger on the long road home
Just the radio and an abandoned rose
Bearing withered petals and a broken stem
Wearing a promise ring with emerald gem

My darling, my baby the days fade into seasons. I try to connect, but I can’t cause I’m bleedin’. The stains trail across wherever I go, and weeping wounds gape so everyone knows.

Title: Midnight Train
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2002

Lipstick stains where you wrote our names collect dust
This ring once around your finger, sits now and rusts
I dreamt of a place, but its not like this, its not here
I'm filling the void it leaves with cigarettes and beer
The condescending nature and broken hearts detract
From scenery that might be lovely if I had what I lacked

Title: Messenger Of Deceit
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2002

Your words come out in tongues
This code immanagable to break
While my whole heart shatters
Served stifled on a silver plate
Are we tangled up in deciet
Is it the truth you try to escape
Green eyes and tongue wander
While confusion refuses to abate

Title: Languid Suicide

Published: N/A
Date: ca. Early 2003

Airing out the corpses and skeletons from my closet
All the fumes that choke my throat so I can't breathe
Beneath the empty bottles of illicit pills and booze
There's still a singed photograph of a smiling you

Title: Jezebelle Lips
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2003

Your ruby tongue split but you taped it all shut
The concealed callous flame of a Jezebelle slut
Black smoke billows breaking the clarity of sight
So I can no longer decipher your love from lies

Title: James Dean

Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2002

Leaned against the doorway, poised just like James Dean
Lucky strike between my lips wearing ripped up blue jeans
I thought I was the king of cool, but you saw right through
You called my blatant bluff, the lie I thought was true

Title: Empty Kiss
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: Summer 2003

I inhale my cigarettes
With shallow apathetic breaths
All other suicide attempts
Were met with ill success
I exhale with indecision
A prayer formed by condition
I handed her the scissors
Smiling with each incision

Title: Cringe
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: Spring 2004

I cringe with your touch, from pleasure not pain
There's far more to a scar than blue severed veins
Your fingers glide on skin that holds a hidden truth
This facade gleams strong but I can't kill the roots
Those gnarled vines that burrow clear into crying bones
Gnarled vines that tie me here dying dead all alone
Vines that bleed toxic hope into my heart, into my head
But somehow when I sever vines I shed my blood instead

Title: Calamity
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2002

I told you promises I intended to keep
But your promises cracked and sincerity leaked
Your passion folded and my heart did the same
Now I tremble continously whipsering your name
While I'm pacing rigid pathways into the floor
Sleeping insomnia from two o'clock to four

Date: ca. 2002

Can I buy a way into your heart with a pound of tears
I've flooded out my bedroom and drowning is a fear
There's little use for shoes when your thighs are wet
Sobbing refuses to cease thanks to a mountain of regret

Title: Soulmates Never Die
Category: Poetry
Published: N/A
Date: ca. 2002

Soulmates die indeed
It seems
Desicating in the merciless sun
Like the wilted crisp black petals
Of an alabaster rose
Subjected to a cigarette lighter
In the name of sacrifice

Title: Screaming Bloody Murder
Category: Poetry
Published: N/A
Date: Spring 2003

Screaming bloody murder?
They'll all be screaming bloody murder
As 100 perps trembling wails
Bounce off cold, stone walls
And the starving rabid rats
Blemished with emaciated tails
Will tear chunks of your grey flesh
As you pray only to be left for dead

Date: Spring 2003

Fuck your hardcore scene
Fuck your indie rock scene
Fuck your punk rock scene
Fuck your punk rock scene

Oh, oh, oh, I've got my uniform on
Dry cleaned and ready to go
If you want to trade fashion tips
Meet me in back after the show
You liberate your suburban life
With pages from 17 scene zine
Earning scene points with who you fuck
Sorry darling, you can't fuck me

One night Jorge was giving me head in the gutter
When he said, "Up the punks? Fuck the punks!"
He realized his band was lame and stood for nothing
Thats when we said street punk were full of shit

The silent masses grow
Yet their minds deplete
I have no respect for
A head so damn empty
You're a waste of space
A mind full of gell
Such idiocity must be
Like banishment in hell
