the lie of beauty is the thorn behind the petals of rose its the downpour pouring from overcast skies its the death behind the stillness of winter its there in our sleep the lie of beauty is the salary man working towards that ring its the starving artist starving for the sake of starving its the fragrant smell of flower sought for by pulsating multitudes of bees the lie of beauty is that it makes life worth living and imbues purpose to pursuit tis the assumption that it lives its the non sequitur resistance to the universe and it's Brownian motion the beauty of the lie called beauty is that it makes something from the very context of nothing

the beauty of lies
i would never leave you till death do his part and clutch me from your dying hands prying me out of your will i want to be your everything till death do his part to live in the space between your ears and the vacuum inside your heart when the smoke clears your lungs i will fit it back in till you choke on me yet hesitate to spit me out i would be lying if i said i loved you i would be lying if i said you did too yet in this space of uncertainty the slipped constrictor between us tightens till death do us part we shall do each other's part to him

till death do his part
Santa won't come this year cause he has to pay his taxes this year or pretend to pay or he could not come next year because gifts don't slip between iron bars Santa won't come this year he has his hands full and his stomach open he doesn't need to eat he absorbs all competition See Santa won't come any year because he doesn't live on the north pole he lives in a Chinese factory that's why he wears red and has so many elves Santa won't come this year because you've been a naughty boy because you didn't close your eyes or have faith in his magic when he slid down you chimney and ate all you cookies and drank all your milk and broke all your toys because you don't have faith you see because every good time of yours has to be build on the aching backs of people no one will ever see because Santa never comes any year he just appears in your eyes to make you happy about throwing that little plastic wrapper in the trash like it won't ever choke you

Santa won't come this year
the sirens in my head have all blown out their fuses and the scrolls of ancient texts have all runs out of excuses but river heads never stop they never to cease to confuse us the lines carved in the earth can't nullify their ruses like a stone that hit my head and ruined all my music and the engines painted red that beg for me to still do this the light that's pierced my head has gone straight through me don't drag me out of bed don't assault me with new muses
