It was my ex on the line,
"How have you been?"
"I have been just fine..."
You remember your
best friend?",
"Yes...?",
"I was effing you and him,
Plus the guy that I'm now with.",
That's when the eff switch got flicked,
"Effing Aye ?!That was effing mean!",
"You are such an effing B!",
"You occupy my effing mind,
wasting all my effing time!",
"I just want to yell and curse and
call you so many effing words!",
"I hope you get what you effing deserve
and catch something that can't be cured!",
"Click"...."Eff her!"

The other night when I was in bed,
With too many things in my head,
I went walking through the land of the dead,
Walking through the land of the dead...,

I heard all the things that they said,
I have many demons I dread,
Faces in the places ahead,
Whisper things I'd like to forget...,

Death's with me but she is my friend,
Said "Come and be with me in the end",
So I follow wherever I'm led,
We keep walking through the land of the dead...,

Now I'm laying down in my bed,
It's been made the sheets are all spread,
When reality and fantasy blend,
I know I wont be back again...,

Yeah...Walking through the land of the dead,
Walking through the land of the dead,
I been walking through the land of the dead
With these faces in the places ahead...,


Death's with me and she is my friend,
See it's our destiny to be in the end,
So I go wherever I'm led,
Walking through the land of the dead...

I was on facebook the other day,
I saw your new pic,
You don't look the same,
All of your facial features have changed,
Your lips,
Your cheeks,
Even your teeth,
And that smile your faking looks incomplete,
I'm sad to say it,
Not trying to be mean,
You no longer look so appealing to me...

I mixed something so savory sweet,
And cooked it in a baking sheet,
I took delicious THC
and put it up in everything,
Melted chocolate and poured in kief,
Couldn't taste a single thing,
Probably more than I'd really need,
Soaked some nugs up in the milk,
Gave it a slightly greenish tilt,
Manufactured some ganja butter
Make you wanna slap your mother,
Even cracked a couple eggs
that a loaded chicken laid,
Flour, sugar , dash of salt,
This batch would be over the top!,
A few walnuts for added crunch
Not too many, not too much,
Nothing wrong in the world all day,
Have to say,
Best damn brownies I ever made...

I saw you...
When I saw you
I wanted to touch you,
When I touched you
I wanted to hold you,
When I held you
I never wanted to let you go...

Most times flying
high on the clouds
But the darkest of days
Where noone's around,
Dealing with demons
dragging me down,
to oceans of emotions
where I almost drown,
Sick to the stomach,
So seriously ill,
I bite on bitterness,
Swallow the pill,
Married to lunacy,
We walk hand in hand,
I now pronounce you
Madness and man...

Howdy the names Tony,
Some call me Mad T,
The orneriest hombre you'll ever meet,
Don't care for no sheriffs
I make my own law,
They say I'm a fast artist,
Cause I'm quick on the draw,
A card gamblin gunner,
Just riding along ,
A man called me a cheat
And he didn't last long,
the pale horse I ride
carries me well,
Won em in a poker game
with the devil himself,
He layed down his cards sayin
"I know you're bluffin!",
King of lies should have listened
I told him I wasnt,
So now I done heard
there's a posse after jesse,
I'm thinkin on joining in
ifn they'll let me,
He never done nothin to me
or took anything from me,
But I hear tell they're offerrin
a whole lotta money,
Ill collect my bounty then
it's adios ! See ya !,
You'll find me in the cantina
with tequila and senorita's!

Once,
trying to find riches to stash it,
I entered a palace of mystique and magic,
With tassels on the ramparts,
flowering plants ridiculous,
Coniferous and deciduous,
foliaceous and oderiferous,
Surely inside was something
Expensive and proliferous,
I entered into the megalith,
Looking for that which
would make me rich...,
Deep ditches used to irrigate,
I swam my way in,
It was very late...,
Effective at being unobtrusive,
Their primitive security system
was useless,
I heard a music soft and low,
Telling me exactly where to go,
A harmonium I had to follow,
There you were,
Not diamond or pearl,
Golden coins or precious jewels,
but to me the most beautiful girl,
The greatest treasure in the entire world.

In my youth I was spritely
and light on my feet,
Now I limp slightly
on a dodgey knee,
I stood strait and tall
with a good strong back,
Now it achingly creaks
and cracks,
My washboard abs
I remember so flat,
Have become slightly rounded
covered in fat,
Hair that flowed so
thick and long,
Has started to grey
and thin on the top,
I look in the mirror
and sadly see,
That unlike most
fine wines and cheese,
I am not ageing so gracefully,
Like time is being unkind to me...

This last one left my insides aching,
Head and chest thumping
To the point of breaking,
Bickering about failed relations,
There was a heated conversation ...,
" Wow heart!" ,
My brain had concluded,
"You are so gullible ,
So very stupid..."
My heart beat harder,
Pumping more fluid,
"Up yours brain !,
I know what I'm doing!,
You know it all,
You never listen,
Everything's you say is fiction!",
Answering back my mind was livid,
"Oh and you think you know women?,
I only make calculated decisions,
Based on facts that I've been given,
You just blindly trust and jump,
It's your fault we hurt so much..."

Though I walk through
the shadow of death,
Though icy fingers claw at my chest,
Yea trying to steal my very breath,
I will not rest,
I travel on,
Though all hope of hope is gone,
And things have gone so awful wrong,
I travel on,
Through the saddest of dreary days,
Though the maze is a foggy haze,
I travel on...

It eats,
Men and beasts,
Feasts on the meat,
Sweet raw flesh,
Smelling of death,
Evil overpowering
Ripe rancid breath,
Chewing and swallowing,
Till nothing's left,
A shell like itself,
With no life behind
blind blank eyes,
How can one kill
what has already died?
