In a malignant hurricane of darkness

A man chokes on chronic feelings of guilt

Ambitious thoughts of death plague his cranium

His body yearning for the bittersweet taste of a bullet

To serenade his soul with various noxious lullabies

He requests for nothing more than to be left

Caged within the danger of his psychotic mind

Wanting to bear witness to the aftermath

Of the slaughtering of his own existence

First conceived from within the depths of his heart

Born through his temple as to his knees he collapses

Bathing in a crimson river of everlasting sorrow
