KILLING MONROE (DOLLHOUSE)
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
She’s burning with anger down to her very bones.
This house a hate chamber of her emotions thrown.
The room breaks loose; I’m caught in a kaleidoscope.
Her dollhouse now burning, I’ve gone up in smoke.
So what happened to all the love?
Nothing is ever good enough.
This room now weighs a ton.
And I am gone by morning sun.
In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls full with holes
In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls with scars for a soul
Knowing what she’s done she’s willing to do it again.
So from her pretty fire another day wasted instead.
She’s a killer with a view and a photograph mind.
She watches prey as birds often fly.
She wants you now and she wants you alive.
She’s killing Monroe it’s killing time.
In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls full with holes
In the end you wind up alone
Paper dolls with scars for a soul

DEMONS & DOLLS
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
Invite your fashion in, Diamond eyes of gold,
Just like suicide kings, you're a face smiling at me cold.
So crown the skin in black, rotted lies in deepened holes.
Once called you a friend, now you slither away slow.
All damn the snake, you were all along,
All the devils in hell, just played along,
All the dolls of bedlam, just hummed along,
All roads to hell, are paved in fortunes gone.
Hiding under a scheme,
So sick it was dope,
Now dead on the scene,
Your plan turned to a joke.
Now useless and adored,
my rising anger explodes,
beneath a heel of arrows,
The wound rots unable to close.
Underneath the flesh where the seeker sleeps,
a scar with viper eyes and a fossil just for me,
I lay between God and the memories scream,
Regain consciousness slow as poison bleeds.
All damn the snake,
All damn the snake

PHOENIX CORONA
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
Standing in the valley, with a gun to my head.
She whispers softly love is dead.
And with a winter’s kiss she lays me to rest,
Where cradle and grave now contest.
Forever more, forever more.
Of all the wicked things I’ve done,
hurting you was just for fun,
It brings a smile to my face, to see you fall from grace.
Run boy run oh, run boy run oh
Gunslinger girl left me for dead
With a hole in my head, with a hole in my head
All the damage is done, pistol smoke and blood,
So I whisper your name to the sun.
Phoenix Corona
(You didn’t really think you were going to live through this did you?)
Phoenix Corona
(You didn’t really think you were going to live through this did you?)
I wore a glorified bullet in the back of my head,
I couldn’t stop laughing because I knew I was dead,
I wore a shade of black underneath my eyes,
I wore it everyday to cover the…scars of her lies.
Gunslinger girl left me for dead,
With a hole in my head, with a hole in my head.
Stupid boy, what have you done
Stupid boy, she’s just having fun.
Stupid boy you should’ve run, boy you should have run.

BURY ME WITH WOLVES
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E WILKERSON
I raise my head on a tired June,
and cast my howls at a dying moon,
I bare my teeth across river’s maroon,
I’ve worn my bones until they can’t move.
Bury me with the wolves I run,
chasing down the highway sun,
nothing’s safe when you’re undone,
so bury me with the wolves I run.
Summer winds fight autumn skies,
another weary road comes to die,
my heavy heart wears a heavy crown,
my time now lost, but wisdom is found.
Why is it when I’m sleeping,
Darkness cradles my mind,
And when I’m a wake,
Light offends my eyes.
Now what I love, is what I hate,
So truth and lie is what I ate.
I once was just a wild cub,
screaming my voice until there was none,
nowhere destinations endless fun,
Time runs out when chasing the sun.

CRY ON (WHATEVER)
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
You can make me your prison,
You can make me your haunted eyes.
You can make me whatever, satisfies your little lies.
But I watched you take off your face,
Underneath empty space.
A machine of disgrace, I wanna blow you away.
Cry on, Black Dahlia, Cry on, Black Dahlia,
I wanna take you to the sky, I wanna let you go.
I wanna hear you scream, as you fall below.
To the hole you made for me, the hole that never lets go.
To the hole you made for me, the hole in my soul.
Cry on, Black Dahlia, Cry on, Black Dahlia,
Cry on, Black Dahlia, Cry on, Black Dahlia,
When will this ever end?
Trapped inside your head.
Beating on the glass, only I break instead.
I was a scared little boy angry all day,
My screams scraped the sky, as her eyes brought the rain.
And my knees in the mud, and my hands set a flame,
And when her hell retreats, my blood, my blood,
My blood, remains.
When will this ever end?
Trapped inside your head.
Beating on the glass, only I break instead.
When will this ever end?
Trapped inside your head.
Beating on the glass, only I break instead.
Cry on Black Dahlia, cry on, cry on, cry on

DRIFT (PEEL ME AWAY)
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
Like a lunatic laughing in the rain,
Oh how my mind screams away,
I’ll remember everything to my grave,
Feels like a black kind of day.
Rise to bleed, the memories of the me, oh peel me away
Rise to bleed, the memories of the me, oh peel me away
Chasing shadows inside my head,
Lost in limbo now I am so mad.
Faces in the rain I confess,
I remain the keeper of the dead.
Rise to bleed, the memories of the me, oh peel me away
Rise to bleed, the memories of the me, oh peel me away
In the house of sacred remains,
Now frustration overtakes,
Ink courses out of the vein,
It feels like a black kind of day.
Oh peel me away, peel me away,
Black in the pain, peel me away,
Oh the memories remain, oh peel me away
Oh black the pain,
the pain
the pain,
oh—

I AM SAMURAI
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
Well it’s way past the after, and now the notion comes,
In the still of falling flowers, my blade I rise to the sun.
I am Samurai
I am Samurai
I close my eyes and take the wind in,
I hold my breath till the ground gives in,
I release my calm and breathe back in,
I split the sun and watch night begin.
I am Samurai
I am Samurai
Well it’s way past the after, and now the notion comes
I am Samurai
I am Samurai

STORY SHE
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
She’s got a big gun loaded to kill.
She’s got a girlfriend itching to thrill.
She’s got a tight rope that keeps me still.
She’s got a fast car for a late night feel.
She’s got a sharp tongue, when she kisses goodbye.
She’s got the right drugs, to keep me alive.
She’s got a girlfriend that wonders why
She’s got a smile as I kiss the sky
Welcome to the voyage, a puppet on a string,
you’re just a wasted boy here; this isn’t your Hollywood dream.
She’s got a two face when she switches her mind.
She’s got a girlfriend that pulls out a knife.
She’s got a death rattle laying next to mine.
She’s got a pale face, as we sleep tonight.
She’s got a sharp tongue, when she kisses goodbye.
She’s got the right drugs, to keep me alive.
She’s got a girlfriend that wonders why.
She’s got a smile as I kiss the sky
Welcome to the voyage, a puppet on a string,
You're just a wasted boy here; this isn’t your Hollywood dream.
so illusions are grand when she dances you like fool
sex taste sweeter when you have everything to lose
She’s got a sharp tongue, when she kisses goodbye.
She’s got the right drugs, to keep me alive.
She’s got a girlfriend that wonders why.
She’s got a smile as I kiss the sky

FOSSIL
MUSIC AND LYRICS WRITTEN BY NORMAN E. WILKERSON
Beautiful flowers, broken roots beneath.
Head’s pounding and I can’t breathe.
I don’t want to leave or see,
Those tears burn when they bleed.
Bones made so hollow,
Like a bird I will follow.
Those angels up to the sky,
Where I give God my crooked smile.
Of all my flesh and bone,
Weigh more than brick and stone,
Hold me down while I hum your dream,
I’ll write the memory of your love on me.
Oh like a sparrow likes to sing,
I never forget what you meant to me.
Hear you in the winds from the gardens in heaven,
I’ll hum along until the day we meet.
