On my way To the grave I will save Nothing manmade Death the thief Drags us beneath Go in peace Sweet release Shifting tide Serpentine Behind their ties They can only lie Bitter qualms Somber psalms Play the odds Trust in the gods Testify Thee end is nigh Deify The empty sky

Empty sky
It was the best of times it was the worst of times it was never a good time to lose my mind I find delaying the inevitable only buys you time Plagerize my lexicon You are the choosen one

Plagerize my lexicon
That moment when you need someone who you can be completely vulnerable with, but you realize she's no longer there. You realize...she was never there.

And it all turns to ash
Brainwash, rinse, repeat Brainwash, rinse, repeat You are either stubborn and wrong, or easily manipulated. Brainwash, rinse, repeat Brainwash, rinse, repeat

Human nature
Happiness is the delusion we all share. The hope that; this is the winning ticket, this is my big break, this is the one true god, this person really loves me. Obsessed with the dream, we lose ourselves in it and fall blindly off the mountain. Calm and gentle, you begin to fly. The cool wind moves across your face and you find bliss in your ignorance. The sound is loud and cancels out caution. It is the siren's song being screamed in your ear. Open your eyes!? Why??? The air is clean. The ecstasy is pure. The mountain loves you. But the tables turn like a friend putting a bullet through the back of you skull, lakeside to your favorite memory. The fall does not send you to heaven, but to hell. Paralyzed and screaming; you are alive, but just barely. Bones puncture skin, blood pools, muscles squirm, your mind knows nothing but pain. Thriving in agony, you call for help but the mountain has no ears. Drown yourself in the puddle of blood, spit, **** and tears before shame eats you alive. It stirs near by, waiting for a taste of the gullible sack of meat the mountain has sacrificed for them. A final futile attempt at hope draws you back in. You try to touch the memory of the wind, the trip, the fall, but it becomes the cinder-block dragging you into the abyss. The object of your desire has become the shackles of your torment. Love is a lie and you fell for it.

Love is a lie.
Jesus ******* Christ I know that every word is true Eat your body, drink your blood, glorify the death of you Jesus ******* Christ it is so easy to believe An army of priests, nuns, and pastors bring me to my knees Jesus ******* Christ pass judgement on the sinners well Rain fire from the skies and send the evil back to hell Jesus ******* Christ I have faith in ever word you've said Lets play Parcheesi together in heaven when I'm dead.

Jesus ******* Christ
Compromise and decay are difficult things to digest. Striking like gravity on the spine, slow and sure. They are as inevitable as my need to avoid them. All the lust, passion, and greed I wish to swim in for an eternity dies with the same cancer that eats my body away. The maggots, flies, desperation, and despair, all attack me simultaneously and with an unstoppable desire to thrive on my remains. They are relentless and I am not. Make like a good boy and lie down, ready to decompose with acceptance and grace. I'll place a bag on my head for decency and my wallet on my chest for convenient identification. Perhaps some intelligent future civilization of the cockroach's descendants would like to know about my sad demise. I know the humans won't. "Misguided", they will say. "Not enough Jesus in his soul to beat back the demons", will say the child ******* priests. Spit on by a hundred million naysayers, in between their ************ and repenting. Given billions of one star reviews because zero stars isn't an option. Oh , I miss the the maggots, the flies, the devastation, and the despair. They were my enemies, and now my only friends.

Compromise and Decay
I see you lying there ever still, Resting from another day done. With colors and canvas strewn across the bed You have collapsed into a beautiful slumber. How I long to see through your mind’s eye How I long to be with you there. I look to you to enjoy a swim in your tranquil aurora. Your mind is a dream I long to see Your body is an architecture I have made my home Your future is ours. We crave passion and hunger together. We wrestle demons and grow unbounded. We create space and purpose. We will build a great empire with our desire. But not now Now I am calm Now you are peace Together we are still

Still
That smell is in the air. The one that stands your hairs on end. It narrows your focus and sharpens you wits with just the right kind of wrong. The hunt is on. Should I rush in like a simpleton? An ignorant *** how crass No. Sneaky, sly, and quick easy and slick. Lick the taste and smell that smell. How hot is the fire in hell? I've got a sixth sense for these things. It brings a pain so low I know so very well. THE CHASE! ahh...the taste....... It moistens the lips with a primitive urge my ancestors command. The persuasive beauties blossom with tight skin squeezed between their cotton confines. They beg me to set them free. So innocently they burn down the walls I've built of love and devotion. The notion has struct, the match is lite A fire burns in my eyes.

The chase
Getting it's easy. Everyone wants it, everyone's given it, everyone gets it. We play a different game, but it's all the same. You buy your fancy clothes and cars, eat your fish eggs and drink down your expensive bars. I don't need that **** It doesn't take much, anything and everything goes. Just do it with some swagger, some flare, an apathetic stare and you'll be walking on air. Get them wet and you're set.
