The heat and oxygen course through your lungs like a temporary flame One sweet dull second of numbness All they can see is an empty vessel; an unstained body, with from the looks of it, not a care in the world But they are simply decomposing from the inside out No doubt, they will be a platform of overt despair by the end of the night The sight will give a writer something to write about, an empath something to cry about, and a lover something to worry about Destruction is infused in every cell of their body When it comes down to choice, there is not one It feels to them as if the days inevitably, and relentlessly, cease to end in the immense amount of pain instilled in every ounce of their being Dreading tomorrow as if it's a terminal sickness Once you have lost hope, it seems there is no fire left to burn The time that they have left in the world will be filled with cheap cigarettes, Irish car bombs, and lifeless friends Closely comparable to a dying tree; close to expired, and still so beautiful

Isolation
The heat and oxygen course through your lungs like a temporary flame One sweet dull second of numbness All they can see is an empty vessel; an unstained body, with from the looks of it, not a care in the world But they are simply decomposing from the inside out No doubt, they will be a platform of overt despair by the end of the night The sight will give a writer something to write about, an empath something to cry about, and a lover something to worry about Destruction is infused in every cell of their body When it comes down to choice, there is not one It feels to them as if the days inevitably, and relentlessly, cease to end in the immense amount of pain instilled in every ounce of their being Dreading tomorrow as if it's a terminal sickness Once you have lost hope, it seems there is no fire left to burn The time that they have left in the world will be filled with cheap cigarettes, Irish car bombs, and lifeless friends Closely comparable to a dying tree; close to expired, and still so beautiful
