Done me wrong
(Gasper)
6/10/18
Like a sucker taken from a child,
You were taken away from me
But I’m the sucker, you’re a child
The sucker, sucking; desperately
*We treat you like a prize
Though no one’s really won
You done me wrong, my love,
You done me wrong
You ever heard of that giving tree?
The one that gave the trunk, the limbs, and the leaves
*Another bit of tree that the lonely sit upon
You done me wrong, my love,
You done me wrong
You done me wrong,
You done me wrong
So much I had to put it in a song
If I can sing it, maybe you’ll hear it,
And then maybe I’ll see the sun
You done me wrong, my love,
You done me wrong.

Addicted to being rejected
(Gasper)
5/24/18-6/3/18
Words are the way that we give
Giving our heart and our soul
But sometimes the mechanism of receiving
Is twisted and broken, and cold
*Addicted to being rejected
Used to being so hurt
Hurt for being so used
Kicked and down in the dirt
Addicted to being rejected
What a means to get to the end
Seeking to find what’s become in your mind
An easy kind of defense
Words are the way that we say
What’s in our hearts and our brains
But the repetition of cruelty and being sent away
Becomes need for a quick recognizable pain
*
Comfort’s created sometimes by jaded
Ways that we find ourselves in
The yearning and dreaming is replaced by a scheming
Undermining our needs that are still deep within

Dueling Prayers
(Gasper)
5/21/18
*Dueling prayers - up in the air
Where God can see them vacillating
Thinking while he’s masticating
Oh - what is fair?
Destiny becoming fate and
End beginning, and debating...
I know you pray for me
I can feel it in my bones
I must seem so desperate
When you hear me on the phone
You know I have my own
That I pray for everyday
And though I’m really grateful
I have things I need to say
*
Your compassion is so wise
I love to hear advice
I know what you must think
When you let your God decide
As I think upon it
Prayers must conflict somehow
So as we speak in reverent tones
The duel - it begins now...

Time is through
(Gasper)
5/27/18
You shouldn’t make assumptions
You know my state can change
I may be devoted
But feelings rearrange
Be careful what you do to me
Be careful everyday
Because when you want back with me
You’ll find that I might say
*Goodbye sweet love
There’s nothing more to do
Goodbye sweet love
Because your time is through
...Time is through... (oh lord...)
Your time is through...
Slow down, sweet love,
Slow down, sweet love, hold up
You had your chance
But enough is enough
You’ve been swinging me ‘round
From the old ball and chain
So It’s time for you to recognize
That I am not the same
*
Your time is through, sweet love
Because you yanked me back and forth
Time is through, sweet love,
Thought I was forever more...
*

Zombie Kind of Love
(Gasper)
5/17/18
Life is tough enough
Much too hard to face
To disappear without the fear
Is how we found this place
*We took the dreaded swill
And passed up all the pills
(Smoked ‘til dawn’s above
A zombie kind of love)
The shadows swallow us
As we lie upon the ground
One with mother’s womb
We cry without a sound
*
(The needle fills with blood
A zombie kind of love)
We swear we live for you
But we live just for a fix
We take and say we love
As you give and give and give
*
(The grave is slowly dug
A zombie kind of love)

Something you’ll learn
(Gasper)
6/16/18
An abuser
But you think she’s the one
Though you are hurt, you can’t seem to be done
She’s a liar... and a cheat...
But you can’t seem to find... the proof that you need
As a child, blows were consequence
The pain and confusion led to sick-love defense
So it’s love that you think - but only in your mind
*And that’s something you’ll learn... in time
Woman you’ve been with
And she’s the one that you know
She has your back, and gets that you’ve grown
She’s been there, she’s listened, she’s tried to help
Even thinks of people... other than herself
Though she’s not perfect, she’s honest and real
And you know that for her, it’s true love that you feel
When you escape the abuser, it’s this woman you’ll find
*And that’s something you’ll learn... in time

4/29-5/14/18 lyrics
5/9-5/14/18 music
Your shadow looms before you
As you glide behind its lean
Seems you’re on a warm sea wave,
But you ride the cold concrete
It rare that you’re deluded
Or lost in fantasy
Because the falls, the banks, the walls
You’ll soon be on your knees...
*...sailing down the sidewalk
so certain yet so free
an artist on the asphalt
a contrast to the street
Your wheels, they scrape the driveway
That you carve upon with speed
You make a path in patterns
The beholder’s eye can see
You’re made of soil and sediment
You’re human with those needs
Though you’re amused
among the refuse
You’re discarded, then redeemed...
*...sailing down the sidewalk
so certain yet so free
an artist on the asphalt
defiance to the street
