It's like stretching your arms out for your last breath,
last smell, last vision, last touch.
The end approaches you and then you realize
you never even got what you were looking for.

The lashings of a love
Ruled by an iridescent form
Of hate, sorrow and fear
Controlling your every move
Your heartstrings constantly
Torn on edge

Sometimes I wish I could
make it all alone
But that's a thing that will
*never change.

Manipulated like buttons.
Pressed systematically
And bound in cables.

Sit and stare.
Get ****** in.
Mesmerized.

Exterminated like rats.
Swept up in the closet
And forgotten forever.

Stand in line.
Do not fret.
It's just a file.

Grab me by the hair
Pull me close
Whisper something sick in my ear.
I'd laugh but
Your swift, violent movements
Give me an adrenaline rush
Puts me in overdrive
As I throw you
Against a Wall
Blade in Hand
You'll kiss this
And be Happy.

All I've done was wait
Never go to
Always wait and see
React to the stimuli
Wish could make things true
Grab life by the ankles
Tip it Up-side-down
Collect the change
Cash my check.

Leaves off the ground pick up dust
and swirls around in miniature cyclones
through my hair, caresses my face and flies away.
The warmth in that moment is just so priceless
and as my smile fades away
with that last leaf blowing into the air,
I make a wish.
I watch that last leaf flies away into the night sky
knowing that I will never see it again.
But the thought of that brings a smile to my face.
My wish never comes true.

Rain or fire, bring it all
These thoughts they come
These thoughts they call
If the message is bad, then leave it be
If the message is bad, sounds good to me.

Rain or fire, bring the crowd
We'll drown your sorrows
Burn your dreams
And run around
With Freedom.
