THE WORLD SWIMS AROUND ME
FEELING THE GRASP OF AN OLD FRIEND
THE IMPOTENT REELINGS OF REALITY FADE
INTO A SOFT WARM EXISTENCE
RELEASED NOW FROM HARD REALITY'S
FREE FROM LABOURED THOUGHT WORDS FLOW
UNSIFTED BY MODESTY
LIKE A JACKAL LAUGHING AT THE ****
IN A STUPOR I GRIN
SWIMMING IN MY ENTRANCING GLOW
BROKEN STRINGS OF THOUGHT
TIED TOGETHER WEBBING INTO VASTNESS
I DO NOT FEEL
INSTEAD I RADIATE
VIBRATING AT A MUCH LOWER FREQUENCY THAN THE THE NORM
SADLY WITH EYES WIDE SHUT IT DAWNS ON ME
NUMBNESS IS THE NEW HIP STATE OF BEING
AND THOSE I JUDGE ARE MY COACHMATES
ON A JOURNEY TOWARDS OF MY OWN UNDOING
SELF SABOTAGE IS MY DEPRAVED MANTRA
CHANTING "EVERYTIME" WON'T SAVE ANY OF US
AS WE LANGUISH IN OBLIVION
NEITHER HERE NOR THERE
WATCHING IN ANTICIPATION
A BLOSSOM BLOOMING
A DEATHS HEAD HATCHING    
THE RANCID SWEET SMELL OF FAILURE SURROUNDS ME
AS I REALIZE
IT ALL GOES DOWN FROM HERE
SHREDDED MEMORIES
LIKE UNWANTED PHOTO'S
THE EMPTY ALBUM CAST ASIDE
NO MORE FEIGNED NOSTALGIA
LET IT GO
WATCH THE SHREDDED REFUSE BURN AWAY
AS I FORGOT WHY
I TOOK THE PHOTO'S IN THE FIRST PLACE
THERE'S ELECTRICITY IN HER TOUCH
AND THE SCENT OF HER STIRS AROUND MY BED LIKE A GHOST
I CANNOT HOLD HER
I REACH FOR HER IN THE DARKNESS
HER HAIR SWIRLING AROUND ME IN MY MINDS EYE
BEGGING TO FEEL HER WEIGHT ON ME
TO ABSORB THE PULSE OF HER POUNDING HEART
IT SLOWLY DISSIPATES LIKE SMOKE
MY SENSES RETURN
MY DREAMS CRUSTED IN MY EYES
I LAY AWAKE AND PRAY FOR DAWN
A SMILE ON MY FACE
A MIRTH THAT WILL NOT FADE
I WATCH YOU FAIL
AS YOU WALLOW IN YOUR SUFFERING
I PRAY FOR SILENCE
"SHHHH!"
I WANT  TO LAY BACK AND ENJOY THIS
IN MY DREAMS I'VE SEEN MY DEATH
RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES
I FEEL A WEIGHT LIFT OFF MY CHEST
JUST BEFORE I DIE
LIKE CHILDREN CRYING
TEARS OF BLOOD
HUMAN DECENCY DIES
FLOODING VISIONS OF THE END
FLASH BEFORE MY EYES
IT WASHES OVER ME NOW
THE DRUG IS QUICK
LOSS OF PAIN
LOSS OF REALITY
LOSS OF FEELING
LIKE ICE IT ALL MELTS AWAY
MEMORIES OF A SWEETER TIME
LOST IN A DAZE
NO MORE PAIN NOW
LIKE A DREAM
I KNOW IT ENDS
FOR TOMORROW I WAKE
EMPTY
A VOID TO FILL
*****
SUBSTANCE
NUMBS THE HURT
*****
CAN'T WATCH THIS
WON'T
YOU FLY
I STAY GROUNDED
FILLED WITH REGRET
LOST AND HAZED
IN THE NEVER ENDING STRUGGLE
TO TRY AND GET AHEAD
AND THE LAST PLACE IN THE WORLD
I WANT TO BE IS
HERE
