Sep 2013
fill me up and let me breathe
breathe in the poison and this sea
light fire to this rope at which i heave
**** me, oh god, i beg, **** me
yet i live on in this mortal coil
i yearn to know the purpose
purpose to my being, to find my foil
this mortality both blessing and curse
drown me in whiskey and bathe me in gin
show me the path to the makers glow
let me swim in the mortal sea of sin
and let all these scars be my banner to show
i live to hide from what i am
and what i am no one will know
battering the gate with the head of a ram
trapped in a war, lost in the snow
