A heart's atrophy stuttered as if it were the last terrestial beat A passive throat coughing up blood as they pound the last nail in my coffin Tabulation of my greatest sins Tally the iniquities & insecurities Alphabetized, stamped, cataloged & archived From greatest to least offense The debits & the credits mumbled off, of my sullen acts of depravity & sin Punched my last ticket on this funhouse ride, your carnival novelty is running out Caught my last infraction in isolation's cold steel hand of brutality Double prison sentencing concurrently The Great Escape as I evade karmatic justice, o the folly of impending capture I snagged upon the fence in cinematic grandeur My skin tearing open akin to christmas morning's parcels torn of their wrappings Descending with a feeling that is dragging me down, anchors bury me As concrete mouths swallow my shoes God let me go you villainous harlot! Absorbing my soul, the wound will not coagulate, bleeding & weeping In need of a torniquet, I require the grace of a loving hand of medical mercy Rock bottom has a secondary lair deep beneath the watery surface "There is no accounting for taste," he said, nearly pleading with blotchy tears Necessary endeavors flood the gates of the attic in my mind; eyeing multiplicity Congestive is the elliptical sense of weightlessness, I survey eyernal respite Gravity is optional in this cloning machine of destiny Sweet & sugary are the saccharin deliriums, of the pleasure I attempt to obtain Goddess held me now at arms length I would not sacrifice this soul to spite my face I would not stop regardless if you tried or denied the phantom of truth you actively destroy Splintering wooden stakes break open the chest cavity Delusions bruise the inevitable peace failing inside of me Suffered dandelions droop in the bright sunrays, I see the dark soldier rise The cowardness of your demon took me for ransom & robbed my heart A highway pursuit where you escaped my gentle yet wrathful hand Could I blame you for all my perceived hopes that dissolved & dissipated Or would I plunge headlong into the same sea of redemption? Escaping Hell's view I long for the transparent design of Heaven's Door

The Great Escape
A heart's atrophy stuttered as if it were the last terrestial beat A passive throat coughing up blood as they pound the last nail in my coffin Tabulation of my greatest sins Tally the iniquities & insecurities Alphabetized, stamped, cataloged & archived From greatest to least offense The debits & the credits mumbled off, of my sullen acts of depravity & sin Punched my last ticket on this funhouse ride, your carnival novelty is running out Caught my last infraction in isolation's cold steel hand of brutality Double prison sentencing concurrently The Great Escape as I evade karmatic justice, o the folly of impending capture I snagged upon the fence in cinematic grandeur My skin tearing open akin to christmas morning's parcels torn of their wrappings Descending with a feeling that is dragging me down, anchors bury me As concrete mouths swallow my shoes God let me go you villainous harlot! Absorbing my soul, the wound will not coagulate, bleeding & weeping In need of a torniquet, I require the grace of a loving hand of medical mercy Rock bottom has a secondary lair deep beneath the watery surface "There is no accounting for taste," he said, nearly pleading with blotchy tears Necessary endeavors flood the gates of the attic in my mind; eyeing multiplicity Congestive is the elliptical sense of weightlessness, I survey eyernal respite Gravity is optional in this cloning machine of destiny Sweet & sugary are the saccharin deliriums, of the pleasure I attempt to obtain Goddess held me now at arms length I would not sacrifice this soul to spite my face I would not stop regardless if you tried or denied the phantom of truth you actively destroy Splintering wooden stakes break open the chest cavity Delusions bruise the inevitable peace failing inside of me Suffered dandelions droop in the bright sunrays, I see the dark soldier rise The cowardness of your demon took me for ransom & robbed my heart A highway pursuit where you escaped my gentle yet wrathful hand Could I blame you for all my perceived hopes that dissolved & dissipated Or would I plunge headlong into the same sea of redemption?
