Catharsis

Recent complications cause my heart to rot in subtle ways.

Fight on through sadness and pain, the joke that stops laughing.

I didnt know why she followed me

I didnt know why she wanted to take me with her

Angels fly and leaves must fall

The dirty rain it stains my pain forever

But ever since she came to me

Butterflies remember me

But i dont want to die waiting

The drunken moon ahead of me

She sings her songs, i’m driven to insanity

A pink hotel democracy

She’s giving to the world and i get nothing

But ever since she came to me

Butterflies remember me

But i dont want to die waiting

One Thing You Should Understand

One year later…

Over one year has past since this site was updated, and much has changed since then. For one, Bones Wiley traveled across the great sea to the Old World, and returns this very day. To welcome him, I’ve scrounged the floors of the digital trenches, and brought back much of the site’s former (albeit limited) content.

It is said that Bones Wiley will bring new delights to the world though this portal, so let’s keep a steady eye ahead, and welcome him back. In the meantime, any suggestions for the site are welcome.

New Beginnings

Bones Wiley — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:51:47 +0000

I’m finally feeling settled back in my sweet home of San Francisco;

The people have been good to me, and with my fairy queen so far away from me again, I’ll have time to focus on writing again; sharing more of my art with those who would listen.

To all of you who have listened to me on my lonesome nights on the streets, who have donated to my needs in such a hard city to live in, I thank you so much, and only hope I can continue to entertain.

I’ll still be in the Castro on weekends, some nights during the week; but soon I hope to start playing at local open mic events, I’ll keep you informed if you’d like to come? From my past experiences, the local open mic scenes are a nice place to hang out, there is a ton of talent blooming in this city, and what better way to spend the night than kicking back a few beers with friends with some fresh live soulful grooves, funky fresh lyrics bouncing from the walls!

Dark clouds wain at the peak of night; Bursting flames consume my heart, and melt away the tears. I have never felt weaker, but I’ve never really been this strong.

I am at a crossroads, the choices I now make will last for the rest of my life. I am at the verge of forming my band again; I have high hopes this city will let me bloom, if so, i will dig my roots deep.

Much love to the city of San Francisco.

Endless

I’ve been melancholy;

nothing makes sense, everything is pale and dreary.

I wake up every morning to silent waves of painless nothingness, and put me to sleep with torturous shreiks of lonely waiting.

I am empty and hollow.

I want nothing and give nothing.

I don’t care for this world.

She’s Tempted

She puts her pills in an oblong box

She sets it high so she says she won’t be tempted, but she’s tempted

She’s only scared at certain times

At certain times that lid and her get lifted, cause she’s tempted

She knows, that without a breathing conscience

I’m scared, as the clouds turn dark and near us

i’m scared, as her skin turns pale and blue

She’s not there, and still i wish for you

To be there in the end

Her darkened eyes run down her cheeks

Though she says she’s not been cryin’, it seems that way to me

She breaks down with a broken smile

She’s taking lessons from a world she can’t defy, cause she’s tempted

She knows, that without a breathing conscience

I’m scared, as the clouds turn dark and near us

yea i’m scared, as her skin turns pale and blue

She’s not there, and still i wait for you

To be there in the end

Longing

WyldKard — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 13:14:00 +0000

Except when timless patience grows

Nothing knows

a pause sliding deeper

the cliffs getting steeper

a drop

with the color of tears

Severence

WyldKard — Sat, 11 Nov 2006 11:50:47 +0000

Pushin’ pins at the wisp of dawn

Darling lion with a heart you spun

Pity life that come out wrong

Pray to sun that’s stood so long

Burning fever that severence caused

Bloody eyes and then she saw

All the light as heaven paused

There she goes, I fall behind

Forcing poison to a hollow mind

Cause i think you know me all too well

Please dont fight me now

no, please dont fight me now

I’m not sure if im scared to be

Or if i just dont care

Set fire to the the bathroom stall

Bite down and push real hard

Slow down then stand up tall

The ace of hearts is my only card
