Your skin and heart is with life asunder, As cold as you had dreamt it. All the sins you loved to plunder Brought no more glee than death did. Youth left your heart, poor in time To show you how to grasp it. You deemed it weak within its prime So you scorn what were your best bits. But busy a mind does not mean restful And your work just stalled the war. Besieged, you changed to vengeful And chased your pleasure no more. Now chase the bottle as not a tool But a crutch with which to live on. You live apart within your cesspool With which you'll always cling on. But came the day you sobered up And saw the love you hated. Mixed those pills with what was left And soon, your name was dated.

Pleasures Lifeless
Your skin and heart is with life asunder, As cold as you had dreamt it. All the sins you loved to plunder Brought no more glee than death did. Youth left your heart, poor in time To show you how to grasp it. You deemed it weak within its prime So you scorn what were your best bits. But busy a mind does not mean restful And your work just stalled the war. Besieged, you changed to vengeful And chased your pleasure no more. Now chase the bottle as not a tool But a crutch with which to live on. You live apart within your cesspool With which you'll always cling on. But came the day you sobered up And saw the love you hated. Mixed those pills with what was left And soon, your name was dated.
