Grindstone Cowboy



Grindstone Cowboy

Sometimes you write a rogue song
Sometimes the playing just goes all wrong
Sometimes your mind and fingers smoke a bong
Sometimes it’s a grind and you find you’re like the Viet Cong

A war within your self that has to run its course
The enemy illusion is those metal strings that pulse
The stronger infusion is you knowing it’s only a goddamn convulse
Conflict between, which is why you reach for the dose

The urge can feel like a curse so you crash those strings
The drive that makes you write becomes frustration’s darling
So smash the day and redo the illusion of sunrise
Reality right now is a shattered mirror of lies

Life loves the risk averse because they conform to the universe
Bending to its force and surfing its pointless vectors of curse
When you show your soul naked without defense
That’s when you destroy convention become a tool of the edge
