Truly Alone and Lonely

My Grandfather died today. I loved him very much, and I always will.

This song is dedicated to my Uncle, Father, and Grandpa, the three greatest men I ever knew.

Truly Alone and Lonely

With no one left

To look up to

My eyes

Turn to the ground

My heart

Starts beating slower

And I'm ready

To be done now

If god exists

He is a cruel one

And he

He don't care bout me

Dead, dead

Are all the good men

The ones

Who taught me how to be

What happens now

What happens to me

All I got are memories

Truly alone

And lonely

They say

Think about the good times

And, yes

It's okay to cry

But, baby

Bring on the bullshit

And bring these men

Back to life

Now I

I'm the example

My brothers

Will both look at me

But I

Wasn't done learning

And I'm afraid

Of what they'll see

What happens now

What happens to me

All I got are memories

Truly alone

And lonely

Strength is learned

Through struggle

But there's pain

All over me

Rotting to death

On the inside

Living

For my family

I

Can only last so long

That is what

You taught me

And I'll try

As hard as I can

Until I'm ready

What happens now

What happens to me

All I got are memories

Truly alone

And lonely

Bermuda Buttercup

Here's a new song, written on 3/22/11. It's called "Bermuda Buttercup".

She's the flower

I'm the seed

Indigenous

To misery

Cut the stems

Burn the leaves

Pluck the petals

Plant the seed

She's in bloom

Bermuda Buttercup

Go away

She's in bloom

Bermuda Buttercup

Dies today

Smooth as silk

Pale and thick

Vibrant love

Turns to shit

Cut your lips

On my teeth

The soil licks

Begins to breathe

She's in bloom

Bermuda Buttercup

Go away

She's in bloom

Bermuda Buttercup

Dies today

Grow to death

Pull the weeds

Suck the dirt

Drain and feed

How is it

Love so true

Quickly wilts

After it blooms

She's in bloom

Bermuda Buttercup

Go away

She's in bloom

Bermuda Buttercup

Dies today

Bermuda...

Serenade Lyrics

These are the lyrics to a new Dukes song called "Serenade". We played it for the first time at our album release show on March 11th.

I called the doctor

By myself

Laying in

A cesspool of filth

Shit and puss

Muck and mire

Serenade

Me to the fire

Throw me in

Watch your shoes

Drink the soup

That drips from the tooth

Doctor, Doctor

Get your fill

Before the maggots

Juice up the feel

Serenade

Serenade me

Little monster

Pointing north

Placing the babies

Onto the hearth

When children die

They go to hell

Their eyes are plucked

And stored on the shelf

It's fucking snack time

My goose is cooked

A cup apiece

Filled to the brim with the juice

Doctor, Doctor

Medium-rare

Now carve me up

And discard the hair

Serenade

Serenade me

-Lucas Frazier

Untitled

Here is the first draft of some lyrics I wrote for a Dukes song. You may not hear this song for a while, but it will come eventually.

The devil won't forsake me

His promises are good

His ways are just

I'm filled with lust

For a life I could call "good"

The devil wants to know me

He cares about my soul

When I die

I'll burn in hell

But for now I'm good as gold

I've only lit the coal

I'm thirsty now for water

Sugarless and cool

My cigarette

Just turns to ash

And now I play the fool

The devil, now he knows me

I signed my name in blood

For now I live

Just like a king

But I'll burn in hell, you know

I've only lit the coal

I can't close my eyes

My mind is fucked

I can't explain the pain

My soul's been ripped away from me

And it walks toward hell

As I live in vain

And when I finally fell asleep

The lord himself came to me

He said "I can feel your pain.

Won't you give yourself to me?"

What's the use of being saved

All you want's another slave

Another one to do your deeds

And praise your name eternally

Ain't it all just the same

Sell your soul, be a slave

Why can't I belong to me

Truly alive, my soul free

Close your eyes, open your mind

We are free, we are divine

If god exists then we are he

The only god I need is me

-Lucas Frazier

I wrote one song when I was in Tennessee:

Returning to a place of old

In 7 years I've turned so cold

The house you built, it makes no sound

The song you wrote is buried now

The river flows just as before

It rings and writhes outside my door

Now it's dead and tortures me

Your song made it live and breath

As a child I had a home

A place to feel alone

But safe

Now I understand

You were watching me

All of those days

You gave me paints and paper

Told me I was a creator

Just like you

Well, look what I've created

It's a symphony of hatred

And it's all because of you

I want to die

Just like you

Everything I feel

You felt too

You cried alone

So do I

You died alone

So will I

So will I

-Lucas Frazier
