So Prepare my flesh for flames and ash
Peel the ink from my skin
And frame the past
Walking through this thing
And I'm eating words
Remember when i said...
Do you remember the time...
Making friends and I'm raising foes
Asking for favors and eating alone
So reminisce drinking rum and coke
Black label smoking
With no girls, to joke
Remember me
Not the way you do now
How can I explain the things I did
Only god can explain how
these eccentrics live
Kicked and shouted for your attention
The passion spilled just to relieve the tension
I'm almost dead
I'm almost gone
I'm almost thread
I'm almost done

Drowning Oceans

There's nothing new here
I've heard it all before
She's something here but she ain't something else
But they don't see that
The young ones have no souls
one by one, one after one
they fall in
And she takes
She's all grown up now
Still taking lives
She's a contagious road
an addicts overdose
Now with her face so close
I feel her pulling me in
formulas and potions
Now we're all drowning oceans
And she takes
Now I see
Take me all
I'm treading
Thrashing waters
Just to stay afloat

My mind loves everything about you
my soul loves your heart
my body loves your touch
And my heart is unexplainable
So keep it down
Take it slow and nobody gets hurt
Justin's warm
It's still time to mourn
When is it our turn
I lose myself inside you
and I'm refilled complete
I gain myself
Eve is my destined heartbeat
She disappears with just one touch
All because of him
Desert bound
my river throws me back in
Fearless for tomorrow
Because I know plenty stars
This is only the strip and cry
Natural for the loss
Because I do love you
She disappears with one touch

Tombstones in Love

The word around
A boring town
Could be something or it could be not
A head that hangs looks only to sound
Wonderment is forgotten unless it's got
Then years pass
A life drowns
But yet I still can't fold
I heard everything
I saw all they've seen
And she is everything she seems
So when she dies come bury her next to me
It's the only chance we'd ever see
She's got an age
She's got a ring
How could I offer her anything less
A plan that foils
A heart that clings
it brings everything to a haunting stress
Just show me only proof I'm wrong
Just make me not to want
Just show me perfect is overrated
And I can start to let go

Arrow Lost Inside

We lit the angles and kept them broad
We told our stories and kept them flawed
We choked the mold and provoked the clay
We own the day
We never dare prepare for feeling how we do we never dare share feeling anything less than true
Our selfish self esteems and slips about our past
Be want to be an only
A first
A last
So darling please don't fret
It's all part of the how
And hardly meets the debt of the without before now

There's something strange inside
When I'm here all alone
It's something that I hide
When I feel far from home
Your voice is never clear when I'm on that side
I guess I left you here
When i went for my ride
I think I'm alone
I think I'm smart enough
But I'm dumb
Blind and crossing lines
For the shock of site
Shut the door behind
Divide the day and night
Brush away the tracks
And keep my holy name
Safe behind their backs
And all remains the same
I thought I could get away
I thought I was smart enough
But I'm dumb
I don't belong here
Im tripping over the edge
In all this waste
I took a taste
And saw a glimpse of the end

Burn Me Out

We said our sides
Truth and lies
tried to make it right
But the questions came
around the same
And woke the fight
So what's the end And who is who
did you ever work it through
Is it really done
Who really won
And is your conscience true
You want to know where i stand
I'm still caught in the flame
Burn me out
We picked our brains
played the games
Tried to save face
We placed the blame
Destroyed a name
And layed it all to waste
We lived our lives
Ignored the eyes
And swore we're living grand
Do the dead arise
Fill the skies
Till your sun is damned

A Monster Named Hugo Chicago, Illinois
Born and raised in Chicago heights, Hugo found solace in 80s and early 90s hip-hop. He started writing and performing but eventually found a new love in various rock bands. Today his biggest influences are Michael Knott, Gene Eugene, Van Morrison, Weezer, Tripping Daisey, and the Ramones. AMNH is the balance of all these influences but he does write for many side projects. ... more
