Act 1: I Feel I’ve Never Told You…

 Chapter 1: The Last Tune

Chapter 2: The Shaft

The terrible thing about hell
Is that when you're there, you can't even tell
As you move through this life you look so
You could be there and not even know
But you say, "So what? I'm doing just fine"
The irony is that it's all in your mind
And that's why hell is so vicious and cruel
But you'll just go on, an oblivious fool

You'll just go on, an oblivious fool
You'll just go on, an oblivious fool (What a fool)
You'll just go on, an oblivious fool

Chapter 3: Party Time!

Party time, party time, party time, party time!

Chapter 4: The Bathtub

Brett is in the bathtub
Making soup for the ambassadors
And I am in the hallway
Singing to the troubadours

The kings are all lined up
Outside the gate
And the autumn bells are ringing
But they'll just have to wait

Where is the joker?
Have you seen him around
With his three coned cap
That he wears like a clown?

Have you seen his stripped stockings
And heard his sad tale
About the kids under the carpet
And the purple humpbacked whales

Here comes the joker
With his silly grin
He carries a martini
Made of bathtub gin

Chapter 5: The Heist

I enjoy stealing. 
It's just as simple as that.
Well, it's just a simple fact. 
When I want something,
I don't want to pay for it. 

I walk right through the door. 
Walk right through the door. 
Hey all right! If I get by, it's mine. 
Mine all mine!

My friend, my friend he's got a knife
A statement from his former life
When he was easy but alone
Beside him was an empty throne
But what of silver silken blade
Affix his gaze, his features staid
Grasps the handle, clips the cable
One steps up, sits at his table
My friend, my friend, he's got a knife
My friend, my friend, he's got a wife

My friend, my friend, the clever ruse
Persuasion through his thoughts peruse
A hidden relic from his past
That wasn't there when he looked last
He feels it ticking like a bomb
Feeding fear, assaulting calm
Takes the object, starts the game
Moves closer to the flame

My friend, my friend, the clever ruse
My friend, my friend, he lights the fuse

My friend, my friend, he's got a knife

Chapter 6: The Knife

Chapter 7: GHOOOST!

I feel I never told you
The story of the ghost
That I once knew and talked to
Of whom I'd never boast

For this was my big secret
How I'd get ahead
And never have to worry
I'd call him instead

His answer came in actions
He never spoke a word
Or maybe I laid down the phone
Before he could be heard

I somehow feel forsaken
Like he had closed the door
I guess I just stopped needing him
As much as once before

But maybe he's still with me
The latch was left unhooked
He's waiting in the wind and rain
I simply haven't looked

Chapter 8: The Rift

And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift
Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath
Of the darkness the light from above could not reach
I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight
And upon yonder precipice saw her alight
And glared back at me one last look of dismay
As if she were the last one she thought I'd betray

So much better I said to myself
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge
And silence contagious in moments like these
Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease
The passion that sparked me one terrible night
And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite

So much better I said to myself
And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf
I struggled with destiny upon the ledge
And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge

And silence contagious in moments like these
Consume me and strengthen my will to appease

The passion that sparked me one terrible night
And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite

Chapter 9: About to Run

I'm about to run
That old familiar feeling
Trapped and haunted
The noose around my neck

Regrets
Maybe it's not too late
I'm about to run
Forgive me

In flight
I can turn away
Exhale the memories are a little bit lighter
The wounds, the fever

The wrong was long ago
The wrong was long ago
Liar
Liar
I'm about to run

Sometimes the ghost is quiet
But the ghost is always there
And it seems no matter how far I go
He goes with me

Sitting on the floor
Thinking, breathing
Burning
Burning
I'm about to run

I'm about to run

Stay tuned for Acts 2 and 3…if you dare!

Act 2: The Torrent

of Helplessness…

Chapter 10: The Maze

The overhead view is of me in a maze
And you see what I'm hunting a few steps away
And I take a wrong turn and I'm on the wrong path
And the people all watching enjoy a good laugh

Embarrassed with failure, I try to reverse
The course that my tread had already traversed
So doing the trauma engulfing my dream
Invaded through what was an unguarded seam

The torrent of helplessness swept me away
To the cavern of shame and the hall of dismay
Inside me a voice was repeating this phrase:
"You've lost it, you'll never get out of this maze"
You'll never get out of this maze

Chapter 11: The Oil

I fold my hands across my breast
No stones to weigh upon my chest
No fists to clench, no furrowed brow
Though cold, I'll sleep more soundly now

No stranger sunset have I seen
The wavy lines I float between
Converge in spirals and surround
And draw me further underground

Between the layers in the soil
I crash through shale and splash in oil
My restlessness has finally quit
And I am warming up a bit

Below a kingdom bathed in ink
Now opening the onyx gates
I sense the Reaper as I sink
Within oblivion awaits

I crash through shale and splash in oil
Oblivion awaits…

Chapter 12: The Weed

The name of this song is "The Wildwood Flower"
Now "The Wildwood Flower" is an old country classic
It gained a whole new popularity
The song isn't any more popular
But the flower is doin' real good

The wildwood flower grew wild on the farm
And we never knowed what it was called
Some said it was a flower and some said it was weed
I didn't gave it much thought

One day I was out there talking to my brother
Reached down for a weed to chew on
Things got fuzzy and things got blurry
And then everything was gone
I Didn't know what happened
But I knew it beat the hell out of sniffin' burlap

Chapter 13: The Melt

n the mornin' I pack up my gear
And toss it in my carryall
Run the wide load to lip an'
Watch the big core crack an' glow

In the evening I undo my belt
Split open and melt

I wake up on my stomach
With my face between my hands
And crawl along the floor
Towards the doorway

Jumpin' to my feet
I try to pull myself together
But I feel it in my knees
And the room begins to spin

And I slip and bump my head
An' raise a welt
Split open and melt

Melt, split open and melt
Melt, split open and melt
Split open and melt
Split open and melt

Chapter 14: Saw it Again

Well, I saw it again
(I saw it again)
A form in my window
(in my window)
It wants to come in
(it wants to come in)
Well, I seen it before
(I seen it before)

When I wake up in the night
(I'm pulled from my dreams)
Well, when something's not right
I try not to look
(but the curtains pull open its breathing I hear)
For there is the shape
That I fear
And I'm fully woken
I saw it again

I saw it again
I saw it again
I saw it again
I saw it again

Chapter 15: The Unholy Meat Feast

I am a prince I have it all
I hear your footsteps through the wall
I wait in silence for your call
then take a shot and watch you fall

I am a ghost but I cannot fly
I'm stuck here as the years slide by
I need a resting place 'cause I
already felt my body die

if I had a host of ghosts
living on my street
I'd jive and strive to stay alive
and offer them some meat

I need a different life I think
perhaps I'd be the missing link
and treasure moments as I drink
away the memories let the sink

Chapter 16: The Howling

The Howling,

Now it’s starting…to….feel…good!

Chapter 17: A Wave of Hope

From out of the chaos
A wave appears
In the moonlit confusion
Irons melted
Coming grace, no longer frozen
The pillow drowns the moans
And shallow breaths
As dancing silvery rays change
Each wave eyes a star
And the swollen moon hangs over the water

Reflections guide the way
Gold maze mirrors
As the night wheels turn
Shipwrecks sway, steel mast crashes
Spin green sky

I have grown my wings, I am flying
Ascending now, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass

We are flying, we are flying
Over the water
We are diving, we are diving
Into the water

I have grown my wings, I am flying
Ascending now, I am soaring
Untied my wrists and flew away
This too shall pass, this too shall pass

Chapter 18: The Blank Space

Got a blank space where my mind should be
Got a Clif Bar and some cold green tea
Got clouds that seem to follow me
Got strange demands piled up on me
Got memories, Got memories
Memories of being free

Gonna steal time from the faulty plan
Gonna act as though I'm still a man
Gonna give you one last chance to see
Gonna shrug demands off of me
Gonna dream, gonna dream, gonna dream, gonna dream
Dream of being free

Chapter 19: The Mound

The old man knows very well
Going down by the snowbank, there's a mound
A mound that an old man knows good
Look who raises his shoe all over this mound
Right over the world that's another rewind

And it's time, time, time for the last rewind
For a broken old man and a world unkind
He buried all his memories of home
In an icy clump that lies beneath the ground

No one knows how far he traveled
Oh! I heard he walked miles from the little mound
Can he find some shelter?
He doesn't know to behold what the cold frost can do
And at last till he realized he'd circled back around
Round a back circle, round a back realized

Ice is all he was made of
The bitter blue, and frozen through
He went over to the mound
Reclining down his final thoughts
Were drifting to the time this life had shined

Happy Halloween Everybody!
