Vivid Neon Skies   Drip,       Drip,            Sliding down the pain Scratching, clawing            searching for escape Barely healing            Rarely living Corporate gowns of filth                A shallow wasteland of next level haute We cry out our blood is all red       Til the stitching becomes undone                   Hemorrhaging on the ground a Benjamin green Peace            Love                     Total Collapse Babble’s tower            Jericho’s wall                  Your Ivory towers Ruins in due time        Corrupt soil will not produce a healthy growth Fields of violets         A river’s bend                  The very breath of life Wonderfully misleading                  Genuinely scarce     Beyond our collective limits Found are the Lost                      Lost are the castaways An hour glass that’s ever flipping       Never fully reset Grain by Grain, washed away       Hostage to its environment To a role it must play, despite conviction               Tick,                    Tick,                         As time infinitely stands still And goes by so fast, simultaneously     Is that the haze we had hoped to create? A line so blurred, that reality hangs upside down          Deception                Failure                    Acceptance                What’s your poison?      Will it be your vice or virtue that places you into eternal slumber Beautifully tragic         Completely composed                            T    O   X   I   C
