I'm Still Here

I'M STILL HERE
I don't want to go quietly into the night
rolling over, laying down
not putting up a fight
just hanging around and holding on
too old to die young, too young to be old
I'm still here after all these years
I'm still here and it's worse than I'd feared
(watch me burn out as I fade away)
Doing my best but I've made a mess
The answer's a question the question's a guess
I fought them hard, I fought them well
Now I'm in hell
LOL!
I'm still here after all these years
I'm still here and you're all disappearing
"Let It Go" and "Shake It Off"
but I'm utterly stuck and thoroughly fucked
but maybe this will be my lucky day
my one big break, hit the lottery
maybe you can nurse me back to health
maybe you can help me heal myself
It was the coldest day that I can remember
but the sun still came up
a raging fire now just ash and ember
trying not to choke on the smoke
Despite my age I'm still a rat in a cage
blind as a bat without sonar in a cave
"I Will Survive"
"I Won't Back Down"
"I'm Still Alive"
and "I'll Stick Around"!

UNRELENTING TORRENT OF YOU
Racing thru life but I'm paralyzed
trying to place first in a race against time
stuck in the morass and slow as molasses
wheels fell off at the finish line
Oh you're unrelenting
I can't see the end
oh its unrelenting
never seems to change
so I'll pretend
and start all over again
'Everything in due time'
and that time is now
want it so bad that I don't care how
steal, murder, beg, lie, borrow, and cheat
still end up in a box in the ground
Thought that I'd find the Fountain Of Youth
instead I drowned in inescapable truth
ahhhhhhhh...
[sigh... ]
Oh you're unrelenting
I can't see the end
oh it's unrelenting
never seems to change
so I'll pretend
and start all over again
then again
maybe it's better we end it

STAPPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
You took me higher than I thought I'd go
but the higher we fly the farther we fall
females and fame and fortune untold
I had it all I had nothing at all
I carried my cross and you brought the nails
You see these holes?
they're my cross to bare
a new messiah with a microphone
a broken pariah all alone
I can't tell the difference between heaven and hell
so I created my own prison
and now it's time to break free from this cell
Come here son now please take my hand
sit here with me and listen to my tale
I hope you're not like me I hope that you understand
what it takes, boy, to become a man
keep your arms wide open and The Lord in your soul
you'll need to stay strong for when I'm gone
I swear to you, boy, I'll rise again
in the name of god, son, I will avenge!
What if? What if I? I will!
911! Emergency!
Please listen to my story, it's a matter of national security
the terrorists are my family.
Isis, Illuminati. It's a government conspiracy
hypocrites and liars. I'm vengeance! I'm fire!
Penniless and homeless. They're soulless and Godless.
You've taken all my money, denied me my liberty
then you take and take and take some more
but you'll never take my dignity.
The banks, the pigs, the IRS, and the record company.
Obama and the CIA
everyone is after me
God must have a reason but what's he trying to teach me?
Don't bother calling, there's no way you can reach me.
I'm taking this public...
I thank you all...
I've been harassed,
I've been stalked.
Why is this happening?
I'll let the world know everything.
I'm coming to getcha, satan and children.
My sacrifice. This crucifixion. Parasites!
This persecution. God created you now god is ending you...
I only want the truth, I just want justice -
JESUS CHRIST, SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!

SAD EMOJI
Everyone was laughing out loud
except for me
sad emoji
so lost and lonely
the sound, the fury, it's so blurry
nothing was signified
I try and hide the pain inside
I stare into the seizure lights
What do you want?
I don't know
just give it to me now
just gimme some more
We'll get fatter and fatter
it won't even matter
we'll staple your stomach
trust me, you'll love it
faster, faster, faster
we don't know about slower
higher and higher
can't get any lower
I'm a product and you're a hot item
we're a transaction
selling and buying
you're making me crazy baby
turn the mundane insane
a break from the everyday
heartache and pain
I'm an avatar
I've turned into a meme
I've gone viral
I'm a goddamn machine
Buy! Buy!
all the world loves a whore
sold my soul wish I held out for more
More! More!
highest bidder is the winner
Buy! Buy!
I don't need it but it completes me
Or Die! Die!
give me the cake, right in my face
my mouth's wide open I'm a simulacrum
Die! Die! Die!
You got me feeling oh so spiritual
I need your new millennium miracle
so I light my candles like some New Age asshole
and wait for the rapture
the dog days have just begun

JESUS CHRIST PUT DOWN YOUR CROSS
Oh no it's raining again
but I'm never one to complain
the black cloud that follows me around just came crashing down
and I'm drowning
You're not the only one
you're not the chosen son
you're not the King Of Pain
so fuck you and fuck Sting
Goddamn martyr
no one asked you to die for us
your crown of thorns
Jesus Christ, put down your cross!
self appointed savior
I don't need you to save my soul
Crucified? Of course!
Jesus Christ! Put down your cross
It's so heavy
It's not my day, it's not my night, not my week, my month, my year, my life
feels like the walls are closing in
need it to end to be ok again
You're not the only one
you're not the chosen son
you're on the outside looking in
like an outdated reference
Oh no it's raining again
Jesus Christ, put down your cross already!

The Way

THE WAY
When I was at my weakest
most desperate and broken
you gave me hope when I was hopeless
now my eyes are open and I can see in the darkness
We know what we know, y'know?
And you know I'm right
You told me what to do and what to say
replaced me with you and showed me the way
We know what we know, you know?
And you know I'm right
I am the emir of death!
And at my request you will serve
and at my behest you will burn
you will never make it on your own
what's yours is mine
I'll own your soul
it'll feel like hate but we'll call it love
and the love you'll feel is not really real
You. Have. Been. Saved.
No escape!
I opened up my eyes so I could see what you are
because you weren't what I thought you were when I first saw you from afar
so I run for the door which is just a bit ajar
when you turn to me and scream
"You stay right where you are!"

Everyone Hates A Hero

EVERYONE HATES A HERO
Went to the mountain
began to shine
this metamorphosis
this great ray of light
now I am above you
unworthy, upside down
now cut the horseshit and come and cut me down
Now!
Everybody hates a hero
we love the devil that we don't know
everyone hates a hero -
remember "The devil that you know is..."
all my heroes are dead and I don't care and I don't give a god damn
Imma let you finish but let me tell you this
thank you and you're welcome
I'm the most impactful artist, Ari
I am Disney, Warhol, Shakespeare in the flesh and you won't marginalize me
until I'm out of my moment
No!
remember "The devil that you know is better than the one you don't"
I don't know
You ain't got the answers, Sway!
Don't start asking questions, ok?-
I'm the new model rock star (hey!)
I'm the most everything. Oy vey!
Now that I have everyone's attention
now that I'm in your soul
push my fist through your skull
you know me, I know more than you
you are me and I'm you
We are we are
all stars we are

A Darker Shade of Black

A DARKER SHADE OF BLACK
She don't need to explain
She rewrote the rules of the game
She shed her shame
She found liberation in pain
She's gone now and she's never coming back
She found a new hue and it's a darker shade of black
She's atypical
She's political
She's a terrorist
She's got a bomb under her dress
She's gone now and she's never coming back
She found a new hue and it's a darker shade of black
You can't mention it
don't question it
don't want your judgement
and don't call it obscene
but what does any of it mean!?@#*
She's gone now...

Never A Happy Ending

NEVER A HAPPY ENDING
here comes the only one to show the way
here comes the soulless one without a word to say
he wakes up on the wrong side of her cold and twisted bed
rebirth of a stillborn child
he wakes up on the wrong side of dead
free me of these trembling hands
you'd like to crucify
"one more then I'm gone"
then she's gone
"then I'm gonna run away"
with you
I don't wanna be with you
I could never see with you
I'll never be free with you
I don't wanna be...
take the reigns and heal her sin
await the silent song
know for sure and once before
it won't be too long
line it up, inside out
under her skin and crawling down
and over you and paralyze and drown and fall
and fall before you can run
afraid
suffer all the pain of life and in confusion
pray
why?
all the hope and reason are lost to another day
with you...

CORPORATE STEAK
The table was set
now the tables have turned
and we get upset but we still haven't learned
Looks like the chickens have come home to roost
looks like the chickens done flown the coup
So will the new boss be the same as the old boss?
I'm looking like Snowball but I'm feeling Napoleon
Keep it quiet
make 'em calm
ripping flesh off the bone
you've sold us out
we've served you well
now it's time to send you back to hell!
Corporate steak on my plate
leaves me hungry, makes me irate
knife and fork start to scrape
feeling queasy, stomach ache
Feeling guilty?
Regurgitate!
don't corporations have feelings too?
Just like me and you?

OPUS: PRELUDE
If the world that you've created is now something that you hate
and you've made a big mistake
you can't wait to get away
forget everything you own and everyone you know
Don't look back!
You'll never find your way back home

OPUS: MAGNUM OPUS
He liked to call himself a musician
but he never learned to plug in his instrument
She used to want to be a veterinarian
but she was always much too much of a contrarian
And it's a beautiful day in America
we'll bask in the very best of her
it's a beautiful day in America
and you know we're gonna' live forever
Once upon a time there was a light in her eyes
that would shine so bright you'd swear it was the sun in the sky
now when she looks around what does she see there?
A whole lot of nothing left for you and me
And it's another night in America
hurry up and see what's left of her
It's just another night in America
and you know that nothing lasts forever
American news is American blues
only win when you've got nothing to lose
American girl, American night
see the world thru American eyes
found god, felt divine inside of her American thighs
Tommy and Gina and Brenda and Eddie got nothing on us, Rosie and Wendy!
American girl, American eyes
American boy, American night
Where'd it go wrong?
It all felt so right
got one on the way and the levy is dry
And the band played on beneath the setting sun
so we turned the lights up but it still got darker and darker and darker
We're gonna live forever
it's all over
we'll still have each other
nothing lasts forever
Too fast, I take the turn
sliding, I start to swerve
pump the brakes, rubber burns
can't steer into the skid
credits roll upon my life
speed read my last rites
I cry out "I don't wanna die! not now, it's not my time!"
"I swear I'll change" you know I lied
then something else takes control
Guess it's not my time to go
so on I drive thru the night
limitless American night
open American night
when suddenly in the headlights
there's a pile up about a mile up the road
and an outline written in sidewalk chalk
if I could do it all over again you know that it'd be different then
the long dark night of the soul that never brought the dawn
amazing how things have changed from back in the day
then again they're about the same
I can see St. Peter at the gates of heaven
with a disappointed look, a book, and a crooked grin
I love you dear but I've got other ideas
I've gotta' get the hell on out of here
And it's another end to another endless day
and it's steeped in an endless array of cliches
I guess there's no place in the modern world
for an old fashioned story of a boy and a girl and a girl
And the band played on
they're taking requests!
beneath the setting sun
whatcha wann' hear next?
so we tuned the lights up
sing us a song!
but it still got darker
the kind that no one plays anymore
American news is American blues
Stay or go? How do you choose?
Any which way you're gonna lose
when the lies pass for truth
on a definitive quest told in infinite jest
felt so good, felt so right
alive in her American thighs
American girl, American night and an American boys' American plight
goodbye, take care, so long, so what
fare thee well you fucking fucks!
and when you're down and feeling hopeless
tell them all this is your opus
magnum opus

DEVIL New York, New York
DEVIL is the sound of two mentally disturbed senior citizens making an ungodly racket in a dank New York cave; against their will, and without knowing why... their sound is comprised of angst-ridden distorted guitars; and screaming vocals, which are rooted with sarcastic, though thoughtful, and moving, lyrics; all tethered to mechanized drum beats. or something... ... more
