Sitting here with my thumb on a black hole As of late I’ve allowed it to consume my soul A temple made of tin, so pink and inviting Til it starts to thrash; snarling and biting I’ve let all the wrong people and things steer my ship Let some of them command me with the sting of their whips Cried, kicked and screamed “this is not what I wanted” Yet still I sit here, thinking, drinking - utterly haunted

Conquerable Soul
Sitting here with my thumb on a black hole As of late I’ve allowed it to consume my soul A temple made of tin, so pink and inviting Til it starts to thrash; snarling and biting I’ve let all the wrong people and things steer my ship Let some of them command me with the sting of their whips Cried, kicked and screamed “this is not what I wanted” Yet still I sit here, thinking, drinking - utterly haunted
I just never have the time to catch up. My life is not my own, not sure if it ever was.
