POEMS IN THE 34 ALBUMS - PAGE 5 OF 12

The light of another day, a fresh page in the book
I've been searching for so long that I don't know
where else to look
Have you seen her? The one with diamonds
in her eyes
A heart of solid gold and a tongue that
never lies
Yes I saw her once but I let her slip away
A picture's worth a thousand words so what
was I to say?
I've sketched her into memory until we
meet again
Her faded footprints still cross my mind
every now and then
The nature of the beast is cruel though acceptance
has been learned
The dwindling hour glass of time has taught
that it cannot be turned

---

The laws we have obeyed
[crossed out text]
The crosses we have made
The lessons we've learned
The fires we've burned
What we have found
Many faces looking down
The echoes of words
The first time they were heard
The small hands that have grown
And the fists that were thrown
The roads we've traveled
The fabric that's unraveled
Foundations that have cracked
The hunted we have tracked

A lesson in politics one on one
I'm sure you'll like it it's so much fun

Every candidate has a rhyme around election time
Saying well do just fine if you wave this sign
Standing on the pedestal waving a fake gold medal
Rubbing on their crystal ball Saying they've been here and
there and seen and done it all
Only after the choice has been made and you dealt
them the ace of spades Thinking this isn't all a game
And you haven't been played Finally when all the
promises have been made You find the scale of
honesty was never weighed As they forget
all they said
Speaking this while doing that they placed one
foot on the platform and then they fell flat
The train they boarded the to the top the engine failed
The track got derailed The conductor was jailed
And the bail collected was never mailed
Every opinion they stated was quoted as fact
They said the proof is in the eye and they said it
with such tact Even though no evidence ever backed
Numbers never lie unless you have the nack So
everyone signed the dotted line before reading the
pact And now everyone complains of paying so
high at tax But {struck: who} once {struck: you} sign a deal
with the devil there's no going back

* Every candidate has arhyme around election time
* Saying well do fine I you wave this sign
Speaking this while doing that
Stand on the pedestal waving their gold medal
* rubbing on their crystal ball They've been there and
* done it all only after the choice has been made
You've dealt them the Ace of Spaids Thinking it's not
a game and you've not been played Then when all
the promises have been made the scale of
honesty has never been weighed As they forget all
they've said

(cut this --- and the second starred copy after it, to the end of the words box) around election time
* Saying well do fine I you wave this sign
Speaking this while doing that
Stand on the pedestal waving their gold medal
* rubbing on their crystal ball They've been there and
* done it all only after the choice has been made
You've dealt them the Ace of Spaids Thinking it's not
a game and your not been played then when all
the promises have been made the scale of
honesty has never been weighed As they forget all
they've said

Point of Reference
You keep waiting for her
to walk in
And maybe change your
life forever
Sometimes you think
that day may come today
Other times you think
to yourself - never
That's why god made
the Russians black
Or maybe white depending
on your preference
That is why I'm never
going back
I've now lost my point
of reference

Every candidate has a rhyme
Around election time
Saying we'll do just fine
If you wave this sign

A lesson in politics 101
you're sure to like it
It's so much fun

Standing on the pedestal
Waving their fake gold medal
Rubbing on their crystall ball
Saying they've been here and there
And they've seen and done it all

A lesson in politics 101
you're sure to like it
It's so much fun

Only after the choice has been made
And you've dealt them the ace of spades
While thinking this isn't a game
That you've never played
Finally after all the promises have been made
You've found that the scale of honesty has never been weighed
As they've forgotten all they've said

A lesson in politics 101
You're sure to like it
It's so much fun

Speaking this while doing that
They placed one foot on the platform
And then they fell flat
The train they boarded to the top the engine failed
The track got derailed
The conductor was jailed
And the bail collected was never mailed

A lesson in politics 101
you're sure to like it it's so much fun

Every opinion they stated was quoted as fact
They said that proof was in the eye and said it with such tact
Even though no evidenced backed
But Numbers can lie if you have the nack
So everyone signed on the dotted line without reading the pact
And now everyone's complaining of paying so high a tax
But once you sign a deal with the devil
There's no going back

Dead History
Unity you and me... together
I never believed that it would come to this
But now I can't resist
MY fists of fury will leave ya bleeding
Tis true
But the funny thing is that I've
never ever really needed to
If you don't know then know ya know

too many buildings, not enough sky
can't solve your problems, until you stop the lies
What about the children? they're being sacrificed
Better to leave 'em to the wilderness Then raise them to be crucified
Got to make it better than this, do more than just incite
Know when to go with the flow, keep the status quo
and then know when to resist, when to raise a fist, to cease and desist
and find an alibi

Too many people to keep them all in line
many better men than me have spent their lives and died trying
I don't try to tend to the sheep being led to
the slaughter
For I've learned that some people's priceless advice
is worth less than a quarter
Funny how somethings are more important
than you first thought them
Only try to aspire to go higher once you've hit rock bottom
when in doubt just picture this...
Know when to go with the flow keep the status quo
when to hope when to pray for it
When to say it
and then know when to resist
Know when to raise a fist
When to cease and desist
when to let it roll off your shoulder
And when to get pissed
can't live like this!

Too many obstacles, you get sucked in by tentacles
Keep on walking in circles, keep on believing in miracles
Believing that you are spirit ual, searching for an oracle
be it {struck: [?]}, mental, physical, biblical or historical
Believe in Freedom
A lesson from Neil Young
Believe in Freedom
Build our {struck: garden} own Eden
Believe in Freedom
Don't leave them in ruin
Believe in Freedom

Confliction is my affliction
Dying from good health
Hey there my only sickness.
That's a pretty nice disguise.
Those Angel eyes
keeping me longing to believe in paradise
But just what do you see
When you're looking at me?
Sometimes I wonder if you're sure
If this is really where you want to be
Are those just memories of the way we were
Or has the past passed away
Uncovering something more?
What's instore? Surely no one of the earth
could know
But we learned before... that Once I loved you
And that love still has room to grow
Like a goldfish in a bowl of water
I could keep you forever or let you go
I get to name the sons
(when and if they come)
But I'll let you name the daughter
(even if it's something silly
or dumb)
You just pick anything you think
you ought to
To be without love

There's no such thing
as wasted time.
Caught up in this paradime
what's yours is yours and
what's mine is mine
Still trying to find
the perfect line
that completes this rhyme
try to show you what I see
where what is
'tis not how it's supposed to be
I startled a man on the
street
Simply by saying hello
He said kid stop bothering me
There must be someone
else who
you can follow
But his words were hollow
Thus I retreated, in sorrow
Just another who failed to see,
We're all one in the global family

your back ground
your color
[crossed out text], your skin tone, and your race
Nobody ever asked your preference
You know you can't choose your
face.
And as you see your reflection
You realize that in difference
lies the root of [scratched out word] hate
So let us end this debate
over this cityless state As
equality waits...

Just like me
Happiness is a distant memory
So long unknown to me
Living in this world of adultery
Where what you see
Is not really what you see
Where what's to be
May never be
Though unchained
No one is free
Where you can look forever
And still not see
Believing simply that
What's to be is what's to be
God helps those who help themselves
Think twice to yourself
Before you trust in someone else
Or you run the risk
Of feeling just like me

I just got a pardon
From the president
Because I didn't admit
What I knew was evidence
I made a friend
who knows what it takes
Who's there to the end
Or until he fixxes mistakes

Cry me a river...
ten miles wide
Warm tears can still send a shiver
up and down your spine

Cry me a river...
Then Let me know when you Are through
Nothing was promised
And nothing was delivered ->
Never lost, never one
Never us
(margin: when you're not one / then you should / go back to / being two.)

{struck: No time in my life}
Tired of sitting somewhere dark
watching and Waiting for you
the clock
I've got some magic in my pocket
I just need the spark
I Know Theres a fire out there somewhere
A love so warm and true

Point of Reference
You keep waiting for her to walk in
And change your life forever
Sometimes you believe that day may come today
other times you think to yourself never

That's why God made the Russians black
Or maybe white depending on your preference
That is why I'm never looking back
By now I've lost my point of reference

Ha Ha ha...
(My plan worked to perfection)

Feeling stranded and left by the side of the road
Seeking tranquility and a place to call home
"Hey baby, you wanna roam with me?"
You see, I'm just another [crossed out text] cat
Strolling back from [?]
combing the alley

will do
p 65

Tim's Song

How much money does it take?
For you to feel good about yourself?
Would you be willing to give away fifty bucks?
And give it to someone else

To Some one whom you've never met before
Would you ever trust someone who came upon hard times
Would you consider it a lesson well learned
If you got screwed, forget about writing rhymes

Would you part with money
If it meant doing good deeds
Would you trust your [crossed out] honey
To a pack of swarming bees?

what if he talked about being reborn?
A Christian soul who'd Finally found his way
Would you risk a lesson to be learned
For short money would you gladly pay?

Would you put your trust in human nature
Even though you equate it with the devil
If it meant you'd stand tall in stature
Money to be used for good, money used for evil

Dust-to-Dust

When you don't wanna remember
Yet you can't seem to forget
Been through the range of emotions
Can't say just one suits you best

I got so much save the world
Rally 'round stuff and a
heart full of [?] love letters
I got a mind that reminds me all the time
to be careful of who I trust...
I'm not sure from where it appears but [crossed out] there's this voice
I hear whispering in my ear
That clearly I should have known better

What [crossed out] was precious...
All that is true...
The best of intentions...
I had and gave these things to you

For there are those
Who like to overdose
on pleasure and love
giving [crossed out] in to lust

Say La Vee (La Vee)
Ashes to Ashes, diapers to diapers, dust to dust

TOTEM POLE

I took my axe to the top of my Totem Pole
Flexed my muscles and let that goddamn thing go
With one swift chop a head fell to the ground
Try to bury that sunuva bitch where it'll never be found

I've been climbing the ladder of drugs
Almost to the top of the wrung
And I just decided to take a step down
That's why I swung
Straight down the middle and follow through
You don't get measured by what you say
But rather what you do

Alcohol has had its days, its months, its years
I'll be my own magician if I can make a bottle disappear
Step by step, booze and butts and them bongs
For they've been the inspiration for far too many songs

Almost time to choose something better
Almost time to come back to earth
Almost time to slay the three-headed monster
Almost time to lift the curse

You maybe young but it still gets old
Gotta reshape your life, white break the mold
The one that you created while your ego was being deflated
Your balloon filled up with led so now it won't fly
Just what happened to your head and blinded your eyes?

Your cross weighs the same as your Totem Pole
Every day it gets heavier so you need a bigger hole
Every face has a pair of eyes able to stare into your soul
Once it grows too strong it's out of your control

Here's something those with two jobs
Already know:
of this bitter pill has become hard
to swallow...
Health care's gone and
Social security will follow...
That's why [crossed out text: I live] + live for today
And I Forget tomorrow...
try + to... I smile all the while,
Ummm... my eyes are hollow
[crossed out text: He] Overworked and underpaid
slowly dying from my minimum wage

humility
Sooner, Later Never - you're gonna get it
For we know the greatest of lessons
When left unlearned

I AM The Rules

PYSICAL STRENGTH
in child grows

parent
mom lashes out
as defense mech.
Survival mode

Brittain writes the scripts
America provides the actor
welcome to the shit
And sure there's other factors
Religion is the tool
And also makes the rules

Parasites separate from the source

I feed my inner rat
With the drippings of my soul
I sit and comprehend
How I'm losing all control

Have you joined programs
I did one campings
with the gardens of the
city and minor toy

* Eventually you are going to have negative
thoughts about the person who took away
your second favorite person even if that
person is your favorite person.

* Core Three or Core Four

* If I was a Danish citizen making
200,000 Krones a year would we be
roommates?

Did you know there are five hundred
shads of gray
on that the human eye can see a candle
from fourteen miles away

---

I lead the followers
But I play follow the leader
Sure I win the war
Yet there is more than one defeater

Pain only comes when you have nowhere to direct your love to
Some people collect knowledge - I try to acquire wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge [scratched out word] sprinkled with love.

1. I'm a father first
2. No meat is easy
3. My natural tendency is to be an Alpha male
4. Kids bring out the best in me
5. I am very, very close to being an actual adult
6. My will power and self-control are very strong
7. UCL is achievable
8. I way undervalued the importance of money and its role in MY world
9. I need to be less lazy and more assertive when it comes to certain aspects of myself
10. ROCKS ROCK and I'm a ROCK!!!
11. My ego and my selfishness/powers of manipulation are my strength and my weakness and need to be watched and monitored

I just placed my head inside the stove
Too bad it's electric
I felt like this, felt so alone
Does that make me eccentric?
Now I know there's been worse cases than me
But how they found their way out I still can't see
Some call it bad luck, some call it fate
Here a stand in my tunnel as it's getting late
And it's much too late to simply turn the page
For such a creature of habit at such a young age
So many faces over time have just seemed to fade away
In just the past five years not one has stayed
At this moment I can trace them all
I cry out to my self and put another stone on the wall
When my castle is finished they'll be no more hurt and pain
For the drawbridge'll be raised, the windows barred and chained
Maybe then I'll finally sleep in peace and quiet
I'll be all by my self there's no way to deny it
Newer have to worry about who's the next to leave
At least I'll have my own garden to hell with Eve
I've thought about every single day
Come to realize it's the only way
Seeing what I've seen, done what I've done, been where I've been
But they'll be no more troubles if I never come out and no one
comes in

The laws we have obeyed
[illegible crossed out word]
The crosses we have made
The lessons we've learned
The fires we've burned
What we have found
Many faces looking down
The echoes of words
The first time they were heard
The small hands that have grown
And the fists that were thrown
The roads we've traveled
The fabric that's unraveled
Foundations that have cracked
The hunted we have tracked

No Rhyme or Reason

(With no rhyme or reason
It could happen to anyone)
When a cool palm melts into cold steel
As a hand extends but does not feel
A pokered face turns the tables after a bad deal
Fantasy vengence becomes real
[crossed out: Aim is taken as fate is sealed]
Pent up agression [crossed out: is suddenly revealed] cannot be concealed
[crossed out: The face eyes of] eyes full of blood are suddenly revealed
Aim is taken as fate is sealed
With no rhyme or reason
It could happen to anyone
All it takes is indiference
And the help of a gun

The child of indifference's treason

I got something on my mind so I better
just say it...
I hear the music in my heart but I just
can't play it...
I feel good inside but I can't explain it
I don't mind when people cry
I don't mind when it's raining
I don't mind when most people die
And if I said I did then that would be a lie
Between you and me we only need enough
people for the race to survive
Another day, another factory
When you can't build wide you just
build it high
[Chorus: 1st 5 lines]
I've been led to many places by people & things
There's so much out there in which to believe
Many I have loved and then cut their strings
Just to end up watching each of them leave
Have to go and plant another seed
Finding someone or something to fill the void
For idle time is the devil's toy
And sometimes being alone is worse than
being unemployed
For sometimes you're the {struck: ?} Sigfreud,
Sometimes you're the tiger
And sometimes you're Roy

I Don't mind when most people say...
and if I said that I did then that would be a lie
Between you and me, we only need enough [?]
another mansion, for the race to survive
Another day another factory, when you can't build
it wide then you just build it high
bee gees

I've got something on my mind
So I better just say it
I've [?] the music in my heart
But I just can't play it
I feel good inside
But I can't explain it
I Don't mind when people cry
I Don't mind when it's raining

I've [?] led by many people, places and things
so much out there
These [?] in what to believe
I've loved many people and then had to cut strings
Just to end up watching each of them leave
Have to go and plant another seed
& Find something or Someone to fill the void
for idle time is the devil's toy
and Sometimes being alone is worse than being unemployed
Sometimes you're Sigfreed, sometimes you're the tiger and
Sometimes you're Roy

Where is Noah when you need him?
As the water runs God says, "We're even!"
Stupid humans now see what you've done
There's ten feet of mud that fills the Garden of Eden
Yeah, you read the book but called the legend a myth
You never believed it could come to this
With so many false idols you just couldn't resist
Went to church on Sunday then became a hypocrite
You stood on your roof
and you shook your fists

PERHAPS
Oh, someone free me from this misery
Today, not unlike yesterday, is not how
There are still so many people
Gazing up at the steeple
wondering silently if this whole damn
thing ends violently
Oh, Once they used to confide in me
But those days have long [crossed out: gone]
They have passed
[crossed out: too] maybe I was [crossed out: too] wrong
when I asked:
If Judas turned the other cheek
would he have been slapped?
-> perhaps

I AM WORSE THAN JUDAS
AND AIN'T TALKING ABOUT THE PRIEST
'cause GOD SEES ME AS A BLASPHEMIST
JUST BECAUSE I GOT A [?] BELIEF
REPENT REPENT REPENT
I PROMISE I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN
NOW MAY I GO IN PEACE
FINALLY I HAVE FOUND PEACE
RECEIVED RELIEF SO TO SPEAK
THE BIG GUY IN THE SKY IS THE ONLY [?]
ONE TO TAKE CREDIT IN
OH SHIT, THIS HIPPOCRYTE JUST TOLD A LIE
SHE JUST WALKED ON BY
EEK
IE

My presence is important
The fact that I roam the earth
Makes it all but certain
I can be the one who lifts the curtain
Or perhaps the person who pushes the button
Snaps, cracks, attacks
All of a sudden he's putting people in the oven
dozen by dozen by dozen

---

I'm just warming up
to you, to life, to the fact that I exist
I'm just warming up
To what I am and am not what I can and cant [?]
Sometimes I get too close
You know somebody's bound to get hurt
Sometimes are too high or too low
Ya either float on a cloud or ya get walked on like dirt.

---

out on the streets
Raw and uncut
still sticking out the suitcase
That was slammed half-shut

---

Turn the page
write another chapter
You can always pick something else
If you can't capture what you're after
turn the page

---

I hear you say "power to the people"
But I can't find the strength today
Hard to think about tomorrow
When you're still trapped in yesterday
I was raised to stand tall

I guess it took me awhile
Before I knew what I wanted to do
Maybe
Or perhaps I'm just like you

I've been pondering
I've been wondering
[crossed out text]
And I've been pawning
As I've been wandering
Ain't got nothing left to trade

---

My hand is but symbolic of a man who
stands with fist
imprisoned by his watch which hangs. Upon
the clock upon the wall dictates both time
and fate

Inspired on a walk home from
school. I was hurrying to be home
by 9:30 to call my girlfriend

Sitting here
Surrounded by so many
Yet I'm all by myself
The sky is clear
Clouds... there's hardly any
It's a nice day to go out
Looking out the window
wishing for a different scene

I'm a white boy with no rhythm
And even less soul
I've faced the fact that I'll be this way
Until my last day of growing old
Hell what I've been told
You know [strikethrough] I won't allow [/strikethrough] myself to believe it
Every girlfriend I've ever had
tells me I dance just like a quadra
papalegic

MIDAS TOUCH
What has once been bought has now been sold
Your Midas touch turned me to gold
Never to grow young, never to grow old
Death does part, no to have and hold
Sickness in health, Warmth is cold
[crossed out: Becareful what you wish for because it might come true]
A face once beautiful now pale and blue
Crumbling down what was once brand new
The question is not how or why but who
Becareful what you wish for it might come
true

Something's gonna have to be sacrificed
To keep on playing this game
To keep on living the life
Release me from the world-wide weight of humanity
Too much for this writer to decipher
The many causes of insanity
He pauses... then continues
Counts his losses
Hears his inner voice ask him, "If it's in you?"

---

I've been looking around for some inspiration
Something, anything that could give a reason for some
celebration
