Superficial insomnia
Fiscally collateral.
Primalistic defilement
Of a world so material.
Where every breath
Preceeds another hearse,
And every thought
Breeds another curse.
In a place held together
By disintigration and wildfires,
Stems the hope of a new face
A new place with new desires.
Bleeding from the walls
It spells its name on the floor.
It drops its heart in a grinder
To be chopped into more.
It's deranged and disturbed
That much seems to be known
Presiding deep in these hideous
Perplexing, competitive overtones.
Shellshocked beyond resentment
Another hand pressed against it
Attempting again to knock down
The insidious box which holds us to drown.
And again it presents itself
In a crisp suit and tie
Hiding its nature
Hiding the lie.
I know its design
Because I've seen it before.
So I drop my heart in a grinder
To be chopped into more.

It drops its heart in a grinder
To be chopped into more.
It's deranged and disturbed
That much seems to be known
Presiding deep in these hideous
Perplexing, competitive overtones.
Shellshocked beyond resentment
Another hand pressed against it
Attempting again to knock down
The insidious box which holds us to drown.
And again it presents itself
In a crisp suit and tie
Hiding its nature
Hiding the lie.
I know its design
Because I've seen it before.
So I drop my heart in a grinder
To be chopped into more.
