Vaccine in the chamber.
Bringing down the hammer
Ready for the medicine.
"I'd throw up the sickness, but my stomach is withered"
"I'd cough up the disease but my lungs are bleeding"
"I'd cut out the corruption but it's already gone to my head"
No change in our pockets
only Posies
No heat in our house
only holes in the ceiling
When your world comes crashing down
When your mind just wants rest
Bitter words hang in your ear
"The American Dream"

I wont lay down and die
I wont read your poems and weep
take my hand.
Life *****, sure.
It even gets worse.
When you race against the reapers blade
Why would you stand still.
Why would you wait to die
Get up
Grab your pen and paper
This is your taxi
There is his horse
Lets go
No time to waste

We love to hate
What we find purist in hearts
When in truth is a lie hidden by society
Yet,
the truth is
We hate to love
That the puristĀ of hearts are not yet alive
to see this hell on earth

I am the temper in your steel
I am the steel in your resolve.
let there be no other like me
and there will be no other like you.
Trust me and I will show you new heights
Betray me and I will let them tear you down.

To the world they left Behind, they sadly bid adieu
To the nights that were kind, they wept away like tears
For the night that swallowed them whole, their thoughts are gone
And with them, their dreams

My memories meddle in forbidden affairs
My eyes reflecting the sheen of the past
I open doors I thought I'd have the strength to close
bleeding hands teach me the lesson of what not to do.
It seems these days that I just can't stop the blood

The slight smell of cigarettes
Alchohol
Cheap and expensive
It says where I've been.
Not what I've done.
Sometimes I wish it was more tragic
But I know that's just the kid in me
I grew up wanting adventure.
This is all I found.
