Holes in my Brain

Life is quick and dirty
In these boon county hills of mine
My life spread before me
Like a honey suckle vine
To god be the glory
As they chain me down to hell
I'm stumbling in the darkness
Underneath a shepard's spell
Holes in my brain and haunted visions
Tear me limb from limb
The great beast's dream incisions
Cutting on a whim
Jed tends to the fiddle
Imps of fire the promenade
Sulfur runs done the middle
Of a lunatics arcade
Now hang up my dancing shoes
With a rag of gasoline
Ain't no wise man can tell you
Just what it all means

Empty Bottles

This damn run been done
Nearly 46 damn times
As he choked
On the poison that he knew
Piss and vinegar
Like yesterday's wine
Thumper keg
It bumped and it spewed
Popcorn's dead
And he's rotting in the ground
Empty bottles on a tombstone
On the outskirts of town
To live as free
As a stallion is true
The dead are dead
They ain't listening to you
On March 16th
2009
He took his life
Left the world behind
Ain't gonna die
In no prison in no mine
No not tonight
No not tonight
