No Name #1

Killer emotions about killers killing people

while I sing a pretty song about love.

I am not the only preacher in the steeple

to a God that doesn't reside above.

 

The voices tell me I am powerful.

That there are people who deserve to die.

The blood tastes sour. Full

of disease and monoxide.

 

Can you hear when the fire pops?

Can you see when the vein explodes?

Can my thoughts border on sublime?

Can my voice continue to lie?

 

Struggle

Struggle

Struggle

Struggle

 

Can you hear when the fire pops?

Can you see when the vein explodes?

Can my thoughts border on sublime?

Can my voice continue to lie?

 

Hurt you

Hurt you

Hurt you

Hurt you

Stop...
