Lyrics Here is a storify collecting all the images of the lyrics (I'll keep updating as more come out) https://storify.com/geologylady/talbot-griffin-lyrics
You can see changes occurring (are there two different handwritings?) and symbols like stars (pentagrams?) and flowers (roses?) and others (captial E in Desire is that a pitchfork?)
Thoughts about the lyrics?

Discussing this with a friend that's not here on uF, so this is *not* to be credited to me, but I really loved her thoughts on the few phrases that I said I just knew must be important somehow, and I threw out the phrases "Out damn spot", "meteors crash", and "embalm me" specifically. (She may register here, and if so, she can run with this, but thought I'd put it out there just in case.)
""Out damn spot" was from MacBeth. Lady MacBeth was seeing blood on her hands no matter how much she washed them after committing murder.
Meteors crash....Hmmmm....could he have fallen asleep at the meteor place?
WAIT!! Isn't Ted's place hear there? He's "crashing" at Ted's.
Embalm me...this part confuses me.
Could it have something to do with memory? Remembering someone maybe?
Or embalm could be another word for save.
"Save me". "
I'm thinking there's a message there but we don't have all the pieces to it yet....And I do agree with you regarding the stars (pentagrams), roses, red ink, and the doodles in the "E", etc...
There are 2 instances where the stars repeat in a group of 5, so I've been watching for more repetitive patterns of those and similar....

The meteor might be referring to the Amboy Crater that he passed on the way to the hotel, just before the car crash. (Multiple crashes!)

5 red stars, 5 black and red stars, and now 5 words in red.....
(also 4 roses...waiting on a possible 5th one?)
ETA : Found it....it's on the far left of the photo, on the opposite page. So 5 red roses too.
Words in red:
CHORUS
DESIRE ME*
CRASH
TRICKS!
*"E" with the 3 arrows pointing right
Also ETA: I noticed that in one of the earlier lyrics photos (Oct 22, 11:07 am), the line about Route 66 is reminiscent of the postcard lyrics that include the word "ROOSE" (presumably for "ROSE" but not corrected) where he scribbled out "ROOTE" and rewrote "ROUTE" (in red)
And that there are several photos of identical lyrics, some photos showing more writing or a part of the adjacent page. Not sure if that's significant, except that I'm wondering if the photos including more happen to be showing more of what we need to see. (Which is how I found the 5th rose, by looking at a different photo of the same page.)

New lyrics added. References to car crashes and dead bodies, which might refer to the car crash he witnessed. There are 3 crosses and RIP so maybe 3 people died in the crash.
Maybe there is a news report of this somewhere or something?

Only problem is that the car that was in the crash just re-appeared completely intact.

In the lyrics a symbol appears twice, once in the word Phoenix and once in the word CHORUS after the six stars. The symbol is a circle with two vertical lines inside it. I've seen it before but I can't place where. I did some research and found that it is a Druidic symbol. Don't know what that means... yet.

We keep talking about Talbot finishing his song...Do you think it'd be helpful for us to piece together the song as he has it so far from the different photos and then post that on his FB page?

Okay, I'll start trying to piece it together.
EDIT: There are a TON of versions, so this might take me a while...not sure how much time we even have.

So he died in the car accident like it was theorized?
...then what happened to Eric??
Edit: And Amber I guess, but who cares about Amber.

I'd still like to piece together his song. There is one word I'm having trouble figuring out if someone could take a crack at it?
Out damn spot
Sur sacrement place
Crossroads on my mind
Judgement clear
Eyes washed like blood
Rose tinted red rivers
Gypsy lady, marks my card
*****
Draw me to the truth
Light my fire, Thorns like proof
My desire, my desire
Desire me
Desire you
****
Out damn spot
This lonely place!!
____ street to heart beating
too fast

This is what I could put together. Still not sure about that one word...
Out damn spot
Sur sacrement place
Crossroads on my mind
Judgement clear
Eyes washed like blood
Rose tinted red rivers
Gypsy lady, marks my card
*****
Draw me to the truth
Light my fire, Thorns like proof
My desire, my desire
Desire me
Desire you
****
Out damn spot
This lonely place!!
____ street to heart beating
too fast
Eyes all seeing, rich blood
My journey, abandoned, deserted
CHORUS
Draw me to the truth…
Light my fire, thorns like proof
My desire, my desire
Desire me.
Desire you.
*****
Out damn spot
Meteors CRASH
Pheonix calling, rise from dust
Baked in time
Eyes play tricks!
Car crash, blue lights
Lifeless, mouths-to-mouths
CHORUS
Damn that spot
Nirvana, baby!
Nerve endings light my fire
SO alive!
Eyes wide shut - this groundhog day??
Music encompassing, sum in color???
Infested spot
Room cold as stone!
Penthouse of blood dinners
LOVE HURTS
Wake to throned pillows
Scratch my lesson-
'stay or go'???
Friendly faces dragged away…
*****
CHORUS
Out damn spot
This cursed place
Crossroads to my fate
Frozen brain…
Hollowed eyes on beauty skulls
Swim through dead rose rivers
Los Muertos faces provide escape!!?
*****
CHORUS
*****
Purge damn spot
Small shadow of tree!
Desert dust kisses my face
Teiltu shines light
Eyes wide…and then dim
66 needs one more!!!
Cops and bodies, paint m in.
*****
Draw me to the truth
Light my fire, thorns like proof
My desire, my desire…Desire me.
