    How Do You Sleep At Night?

    Been peddling cruel dreams Kerosene lies forged in hate Nothing is ever as it seems When logic's robbed of weight   Still holding onto an illusion  Drifting further from reality Ain’t no calm in mass confusion  Useful idiots prefer brutality   Upside down heading off-road  This house of cards is...

Currently I’m working on a song called, “Novocain.” The words are posted here on the site. I got the music laid out, got the growls recorded, trying to get a good vocal take on the verses and bridge. Which requires me to sing. lol. Glad to see you back! Appreciate you.

    Obsession

    • I remember this song well. Tremendous work. You nailed it.

    • She was “tasty”…er… perhaps I should have kept that to myself. ;0) In the end, though, she was the one who consumed me. Isn’t this the way all ‘obsessions’ end?!!

      Mary, searching for and posting this older poem, was worth getting the comment you left. I’m glad you “loved everything about it.”
