The Ragged Skull

Short on height but tall on style
Spitting words that go for miles
Brother of mine, partner in rhyme
You've gone now, at your time
I've got this groove you gotta hear
Bob our heads, drink our beers
Laugh at all the silly jokes
Seeing dreams and getting stoked
While I am sad that you're gone
It's teaching me that I gotta stay strong
They say "it's just life you know"
I just hate to see you go
The last thing I remember though
We said "I'm gonna miss you bro"
This one's for you to remember by
These words are yours to never die
There will never be another one
Never another Ragged Skull

Breathing Clean

Like the air that blows softly,

She is stronger than she knows

Yet soft she is and heavenly,

Fonder this heart grows

On a whim to her I promise

To heal myself on whole

Childish hope of her kiss

The heart is beating bold

On my path to breathing clean

I have failed already twice

I now have renewed my steam

With the sound of her voice

Like the water that flows around me

She calms my spirits down

Yet power she is deadly

I cannot let her down
