Braden's Poetry

All of my enemies became friends in the end
They had no objections to the things we did
All of my acquaintances seemed to descend into a trend
And I just stayed with what was good
And I just stayed with what was good

All best friends die a different way
They leave without hearing the things you want to say
I think it's pretty lame how it's all a fuckin game
But what can you do if the love's never true

All of my girlfriends died a different death
Without breathing in unison with their final breath
I think it's pretty strange and I feel a little deranged
But what can you say when they're the fools in your way

All of my friends and enemies are my world
They never had any objections that could be sure
All of their lovers became all of my girls
So I just stayed with what was good
If you were I, I bet you would
I lay a hundred thousand on the table
Just to play you out and read the fable
The underlying message is law
It always kicks you when you crawl
So I stayed away just like you should
And I just stayed with what was good
Yeah, I just stayed with what was good

A dolphin ride to the sun's eye
Something in my Cool-Aid made me cry
I learned another lesson that day
But just the same - I could never stay away

I swim through the stars in the sky
The tea in my glass; tears in thyne eye
Throwing Bibles into the mirror
Breaking it in for the next seven years

I don't believe in magic or evil spells
I lived a thousand lives, ion Earth and in Hell
There is no voo do that I've seen with thyne eye
No tarot card reading can say when I'm going to die
But if you look into my soul
I'll bet you give me one or two years
I care not - I'm out of control
And I'm the captor of true fears
No fake fear - no evil creatures
Just simple reality
Like car trouble - the rent is due
Cop trouble - I'm drunk and so are you
We ride through the trembles of nocturnal settings
Like shooting stars burning out fast
I live to die and always try to stay high
But all the alcohol is in the past
Until I have you pass that fifth over here
And then I'll chase a joint hit with a beer
Piss warm - but I don't give a shit
The ride home will be the first thing I forget

(I toke from the Ganja of Hades
I fear the world like a rabbit with rabies [faggot with AIDS]
Death: Enema for Mother Earth
Death: A chance for our re-birth
Life: The only chance we got
Life: Is to destroy the Rot

REPRISE

There was a token toll at the end
And once again, it cost me a friend
She was an A-bomb who had a strange name
I became a pawn in her deranged chess game
She stuck needles in my voo do heart
Then she tore my psychic mind apart
I fucked the Jesus and God out of her
I turned her into another one of Satan's whores
Now she reads letters in her cold prison cell
Waiting to get out and get back to Hell

All of the people dancing in the pubs
Suddenly gave eachother blowjobs and hugs
Girls were eating pussy under the disco ball
I was so God damned drunk I missed it all
So I made a pact with some God named Booze
If I don't quit you now, I will forever lose
It's what I want; it's what I choose
The withdrawals will be how I pay my dues
Should have just stayed with what was good
If I knew I'd end up like this, I still would
But it's too late to change
And lie will get real strange
A piece of the edge of sanity sandwich fuck
I guess I'm just shit out of luck
