Started to date her
Till she said “see you later”
I wasn’t even a skater
And now I really hate her
I hate her smile
I hate her smell
I hate the stories
She would tell
She found a new guy
Before she even said “bye”
Never ever said why
But I ain’t gonna cry
I hate her style
I hate her grace
I hate her
Stupid little face
Her love was misleading
My heart took a beating
And my insides are bleeding
But you won’t see me pleading
I hate her voice
I hate her hair
I hate her most
When she’s not there

Cigarettes and alcohol and rage
Propel your injured soul
From day to day
It works until it doesn’t
And suddenly you’re old
It works until it doesn’t
Till the center cannot hold
Your back-stabs and your lies
Spur you till you slip
On the blood you left behind
It works until it doesn’t
All the stories that you told
It works until it doesn’t
Till the center cannot hold
Calm won’t still the storm
Surrounded by dysfunction
Deception kept you warm
It works until it doesn’t
And you can’t keep out the cold
It works until it doesn’t
Till the center cannot hold

Even though you’re tall
You’re fragile and you’re small
You try and try to hide it
You build a giant wall
Your childhood was sad
You had an ornery dad
The other kids didn’t like you
You became an angry cad
Carrying the germ
You live to make men squirm
A feeble-hearted man
With the compassion of a worm
No achievement can console
Your bruised and twitching soul
Gobble and devour
You will never fill the hole

It’s 3 in morning
You say we gotta go
You really got a problem
Always wanting to control
You say you need some sleep
Cuz you gotta wake and work
You think you’re all grown
But you’re really just a jerk
Why you gotta frustrate
And hold a player back?
Haters gotta hate hate
And always attack
I need a thousand dollars
Cuz I got in a jam
Love to play the ponies
That’s just who I am
You say I need some help
With all your sanctimony
You think you’re so perfect
But you’re just a big phony
Why you gotta frustrate
And hold a buddy back?
Haters gotta hate hate
And always attack
Got a chance to get some Guccis
For seventeen bucks
Looking for investors
You just shit on my luck
When I try to succeed
You always step on my goals
You love to see me bleed
You’re such an asshole
Why you gotta frustrate?
And hold a brother back
Haters gotta hate hate
And always attack

I’m hitting on all cylinders
My calls are going through
I’m in the zone
I’m not alone
I’m glad that I met you
I just hit the jackpot
Time to knock on wood
I’m in the groove
I made my move
And things are looking good
I’m taking on all challengers
My ship is in the bay
I’m on a roll
I reached my goal
Today’s my lucky day
My lucky streak keeps growing
I’m hotter than July
I wrote the book
I’m off the hook
You said that I’m your guy

Monitor the voice inside your brain
Don’t scamper and pretend it isn’t there
The one that says there isn’t any pain
Listen for your truth and don’t campaign
Focus on yourself and don’t compare
Monitor the voice inside your brain
The voice that tries to keep a body sane
The voice that keeps repeating, “I don’t care”
The one that says there isn’t any pain
Repeat, repeat, repeat a lie in vain
Anesthetize against the truths that scare
Or monitor the voice inside your brain
Live your hurt and don’t deny the rain
Analyze your thoughts ever aware
Of the one that says there isn’t any pain
Release your mind and jettison your chains
A universe awaits you if you dare
To monitor the voice inside your brain
The one that says there isn’t any pain

Abelard and Héloise are dead
It doesn’t really matter what they said
Get your pretty face out of that book
Nature got a need for us to cook
Juliet and Romeo ain’t real
We can vanquish love like it’s a meal
Ravish and devour me till dawn
Live the life we got until it’s gone
Helena and Paris stole away
That’s what you and me should do today
Spirit me away in dark of night
Enchant me in delirious delight
Mark Antony and Cleo had their time
So we should make the most of yours and mine
Living blood is scorching through our veins
Let’s drink each other up just like Champagne

You know I hate to whine
But that man disrupts my mind
Told him fifty-seven times
That side is yours and this is mine
You can pray and you can plea
But that’s his personality
All your fussin’ and your cursin’
Won’t make him another person
He never hears when I complain
That man just lives to give me pain
He plays sports but he can’t aim
My man is just a walking stain
You can pray and you can plea
But that’s his personality
All your fussin’ and your cursin’
Won’t make him another person
What did I ever do
To deserve a man you you?
You’re such a lazy fool
I think your ass is made of glue
You can pray and you can plea
But that’s his personality
All your fussin’ and your cursin’
Won’t make him another person

Sweetest nut hath sourest rind;
Such a nut is Rosalind.
Touchstone, from As You Like It by William Shakespeare
Do you have a secret
That you’re too afraid to tell?
Are you delicate and tender
Underneath your heavy shell?
Have you suffered shocks and stings?
Did you build a barricade?
Did you turn those slings and arrows
To a daunting palisade?
Can you let me in your fortress?
Is it big enough for two?
Can we fortify each other?
Or is your castle just for you?
by Richard W. Bray
