666 linger\...|...|... /linger .. Like truth lingers Like the run away kid Lingers in the alleyway Like you linger Contemplating The thoughts about yourself that linger •• In the ONE NIGHT'S terror In the empty Carnival at Midnight By the Ferris Wheel (Where you first imagined getting laid) •• Soft hands that touch Eyes that penetrate and hold These now dying memories that linger and destroy All visions of a Healthy Tomorrow --////-- (You thought that you might just lay down and die) /:/ (But alas DEATH also lingers !) •• NO ESCAPE _ The run away kid  too comes here You come upon eachother face to face LIFE or DEATH (You must finally --- decide ) It ain't so easy when it's real It ain't just lines you are jotting down •• Numbness doesn't end the Pain It just nullifies your Will •• The CARNIVAL is over The FERRIS WHEEL ! hands and ******* part forever •• Dreams and fears • DEATH LINGERS // Soon it's the only thing that's here
