People see things
People say things
Pulling petals from a rose
People try things
People hide things
They know everybody knows
People love things
People lose things
Drift away upon a breeze
People spill things
People kill things
Eyeballs swim in salty seas
People drop things
People break things
Shards and splinters fill the past
People shatter
People splatter
Like our dreams are made of glass

Slimy little courtier
Smiling in my face
Stabbing every back
Like you're running a race
Pain and addictions
Happy little fictions
Hiding in a story
Swearing you adore me
Lies and resentment
Bitterness and rage
Destruction distraction
The end of an age
Fools and fixations
Endless conversations
You cannot escape
What's in front of your face
Close your eyes and cloister your heart
Pretend away the hurt when things fall apart
by Richard W. Bray

By the perfection of thine art
Which pass'd for human thine own heart;
By the delight in others' pain,
And by the brotherhood of Cain
– Lord Byron
Fake phony nasty creepy
Crusted over smile
You're as warm and cuddly
As a crazy crocodile
Big shiny boots
Stompin on my heart
Killing all my dreams
By perfecting your art
A living nightmare
You'll never change your ways
You went out for a snack
And ghosted me for days
You slept with my buddy
My brother and my priest
My soul is despoiled
And my body's growing yeast
Those wacky sparkly girls
Always catch my eye
I'm destined for destruction
But I'll never know why

We met at a party
At somebody's house
You laughed at my jokes
I complimented your blouse
Been checking your profile
Every now and then
I'm not some crazy stalker
I'm a friend of a friend
Drinking with your girlfriends
Your high school reunion
That night in Miami
Your nephew's Communion
We should really hang out
Won't you please tell me when?
We got so much in common
I'm a friend of a friend
Fate brought us together
I can feel it in my bones
Won't you give me your number?
I don't wanna be alone
How could you block me?
This can't be the end
We met for a reason
I'm a friend of a friend

I told you I was poor
But you don't want my money
I told you I'm a maniac
You said I'm really funny
I told I was old
You said you think I'm wise
I told I was ugly
You said you like my eyes
I told you I was boring
You said boring's underrated
I told you I was crazy
You said I'm complicated
My jalopy broke down
You said we could bike it
I told you I'm a pervert
You said that's how you like it
I told you I was dumber
Than a box full of wood
You said that deep inside
You know I'm really good
I try to scare you off
Cuz I'm fragile and I break
I could never handle
Another heartache
Nothing seems to work
You're impossible to shake

Like a princess and a peon
Like a duchess and a pawn
They all look at me and you
They don't know what's going on
Like an ocean and puddle
Like a mountain and a hill
Everybody sees the difference
And their angry hearts get ill
Nobody understands
No one else could ever see
What you ever found attractive
In lowly lonesome little me
If you wanna spend your time
With such an ordinary guy
Fortune smiled in my direction
Don't make no sense to wonder why
by Richard W. Bray

Earth's the right place for love:
I don't know where it's likely to go better.
–Robert Frost
Got my feet on the ground
Looking at the stars
Crazy billionaires
Wanna fly away to Mars
Got my feet on the ground
Staring life in the face
Got oodles of compassion
For the human race
Got my feet on the ground
The body is the mind
No more wasted days
With my head in my behind
Got my feet on the ground
Got my head in the game
A flower is a flower
By any other name
Got my feet on the ground
Got my eye on you
Wubba dubba dubba
Woopty doopty do
by Richard W. Bray

You're a horrible person
And a deadbeat pop
You wouldn't bail me out
When I ran over that cop
You bought me diamonds and furs
And Lamborghinis
But you won't bribe the judge
You're such a grumpy old meanie
I'm headed for the slammer
It's not very funny
You ruined my life
Send money
On my seventh birthday
I got five hundred dolls
I called you a monster
Cuz I wanted them all
I stomp and I scream
When I don't get my way
Everything's your fault
I'm gonna make you pay
Don't apologize
And don't call me Honey
You ruined my life
Send money
My credit cards are maxed
I can't pay my bills
Who's gonna cover
My parties and pills?
You're a horrible ogre
And a stupid jerk
You said it's time to grow up
Like you expect me to work
You should support my dreams
Come rainy skies or sunny
You ruined my life
Send money
by Richard W. Bray

You learned to hit a curveball
From another kid's dad
My tale is endless woe
A monument of sad
You can cuss me, you can curse me
You can put me in my place
You can slam the front door
In my stupid f---ing face
Every volume on the shelf is a song about myself
My whole universe is me and my shameless rhapsody
I thought freedom was heroic
It was just a cloak of lies
Only fools are gonna mourn
When the hallucination dies
I got no right to be proud
Of the man that you became
My only solace in life
Is that you bear my name
Every volume on the shelf is a song about myself
My whole universe is me and my shameless rhapsody
by Richard W. Bray
