Still affected for the rest of all eternity
I will be here waiting for you tomorrow
When the world sends your first curveball
I will lend you a hand or a shoulder to cry on

always alive at MSG

our souls became energized

We enter the castle at dusk
Lone wolves howl in the night
The corridors are darkened
Moonlight is our only guide

We are disoriented by strange music
Feelings of impending danger grow
We awoke to find it was only a dream

cuddling in a pile for warmth
shortly before the sun rises
sleeping quietly in peace

12-25-16 Zombies On The Run

Eating everybody's brains
And turning society into
Evil flesh eating zombies

Move like a snake on a lake
Shifty quick change con artist
Never accept a dime for a dollar
