    Still able to see
    Visions cracked into the wall

    i met her mother
    and i understand why go
    home when she is there
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Not used to lying
    I surfaced to get some air
    Too soon for dying

    The Army Reserve
    When you go home in a bag
    Loved ones get the flag

    Rats don't have a need
    To lick Olajuwon's feet
    Don't count what you keep

    Headphoning through town
    With all the In Hidings from

    On to Chicago
    Tank of gas sunglasses on
    A Mission From God

    Make a Choice decide
    Call it quits or let it ride
    Which side are you on

    There's bugs in my head

    It's a Writer's Block
    Swinging keyed door won't unlock
    Reflect and take stock

    ****************************************

    It's a Writer's Block
    Take time to get off the clock
    Give yourself a shock

    ****************************************

    This is Writer's Block
    Got the roll but not the rock
    The boat's in dry dock

    ****************************************

    If it's Writer's Block
    Wait for inspiration's knock
    When your shit's a crock

    ****************************************

    When it's Writer's Block
    Thoughts of a feather won't flock
    No key solves the lock

    ****************************************

    What's a Writer's Block
    It's imagination's mock
    Of a mental block

    ****************************************

    Facing Writer's Block
    Time to improv and ad hoc
    Even if it's schlock

    Don't Gimme No Lip
    Don't Bore Me with shit that's dip
    With your tombstone chip

    **************************************

    Don't Gimme No Lip
    It's a going nowhere trip
    Nothing in the clip

    **************************************

    Don't Gimme No Lip
    Talk like that could sink a ship
    Shut it up and zip

    *************************************

    Don't Gimme No Lip
    Take a breath and get a grip
    You're starting to slip

    When the end is near
    Band members start working on
    Their solo career

    **************************************

    On board for the trip
    Set expectations aside
    Then go for the ride

    **************************************

    Not a defeatist
    Don't care who's an elitist
    Just a completeist

    **************************************

    Wake your gypsy soul
    Put the candles on the amps
    Light the days of old
