Nightly Scribbles

Burn relentlessly until your juice runs dry!

A Letter Written to a Lost Friend

Cold water hardens wax
to form shape.

A shadow is cast,
from a candle’s light,
flickering in a fleeting moment.

Without a Candle,
Marylin would have never seen
the wind blow.
Without darkness,

Bad Religion

Album:

New Maps of Hell

Acoustic at KROC

Lyrics:

Now can you hear the call in our rambling land?
Susurrations that can expand
Beyond all hope of light
And plunge us into unrelenting night

A pall, a truth and reason
It feels like hunting season
So avoid those lines of sight

to palm the stars
as they plummet to the crust?



“As I walk beneath the valley
I shall fear no evil
For thanks to King George and his rainbow cabinet
Today murder is legal

To kill my brother for what he hasn’t done
And as the planes blacken the sky
It sounds like heaven is falling…”

New Dark Ages

Album:

New Maps of Hell

Acoustic at KROC

Lyrics:

“Yeah, can you hear the call in our rambling land susurrations
That can expand beyond all hope of light and plunge us into unrelenting night?A pall on truth and reason
It feels like hunting season
So avoid those lines of sight and we’ll set this rightWelcome to the new Dark Ages
Yeah, I hope you’re living right
These are the new Dark Ages
And the world might end tonightNow come ye children one and all – let’s heed Ezekiel’s call
And bide until the word is good and ripe and get plucked clean out of sightThe world will be erased
Our kin will be immaculate ejaculate in space before the King of King’s love
He’ll snatch us from above
Brothers, help me sing itWelcome to the new Dark Ages
Yeah, I hope you’re living right
These are the new Dark Ages
And the world might end tonightSo, how do you sleep?
There’s nothing to keep
This is deepBecause we’re animals with golden rules
Who, who can’t be moved by rational views, yeahWelcome to the new Dark Ages
I hope you’re living right
Welcome to the new Dark Ages
Say it again, yeah
These are the new Dark Ages
I hope you’re living right
Welcome to the new Dark Ages
And the world might end tonight”
