You're the kid that asks how the cotton candy skies got that color except now it's all blood red "I guess God killed all the angels" he said and I think: baby my wrists are rags, ripped up rags, and needles give you bad memories, and my minds a black, empty, hole but it's still so ******* heavy just a weight that no matter how much you want to say you can, you just cannot carry and you need to stay alive because there's no spots for angels anymore when they die but I just can't bring myself to say it and he knows people only remember things about me like the fact that I like whiskey, and my suicidal tendencies a lining of lightbulbs infused on the wire in my brain he says Jesus was like any other psychopath , just a normal schizophrenic and if there's a God we pray for him to fix the problem he's created what if heavens just like hell in the form of a maze golden maps leading you to places you aren't any happier acid trips into abandon attics, blonde babes with tied up hair and yellow teeth cracked out, veins complaining that the life they hated ever changed he says I ruined the calm after the storm that no one lives to see the ending of the bible that no one has enough attention in them to read

Constantine and Christianity
You're the kid that asks how the cotton candy skies got that color except now it's all blood red "I guess God killed all the angels" he said and I think: baby my wrists are rags, ripped up rags, and needles give you bad memories, and my minds a black, empty, hole but it's still so ******* heavy just a weight that no matter how much you want to say you can, you just cannot carry and you need to stay alive because there's no spots for angels anymore when they die but I just can't bring myself to say it and he knows people only remember things about me like the fact that I like whiskey, and my suicidal tendencies a lining of lightbulbs infused on the wire in my brain he says Jesus was like any other psychopath , just a normal schizophrenic and if there's a God we pray for him to fix the problem he's created what if heavens just like hell in the form of a maze golden maps leading you to places you aren't any happier acid trips into abandon attics, blonde babes with tied up hair and yellow teeth cracked out, veins complaining that the life they hated ever changed he says I ruined the calm after the storm that no one lives to see the ending of the bible that no one has enough attention in them to read
Here's a poem I wrote after a conversation with my brother in which he told me that Jesus was just a mentally ill man and that Christianity would've never been spread if Constantine didn't become a Christian, which got me into thinking about my own mental illness and believes on religion. The first line came from my English teacher using the term blood orange to get us to vividly imagine something.
