I’m a foreclosure of thought
Wrapped within the underside of a four-leaf clover
Hoping that one day you’d call me when you’re sober.
Your confusion is
Thinking I’m a simple man,
That I can’t see the schism
Knowing where the pieces fit
In the cracks of your halo
Where the horns protrude ever so slightly.
So cut me,
I’ll wait and bleed,
Would it make you happy?
To use your construction paper heart
Ripped from my chest, torn into parts
Beating upon your plate of misery, chop suey.
Watch as I fade
Seeing red again,
And even if I send the pain below
I know, deep down, you whisper
“I wish you were here.”
Well, pardon me…
But I hope you burn,
And out there in the stellar stars
I hope you find a tourniquet
To patch your deadened soul,
As you plead, “bring me to life”.
Will the answer come?
An ace of spades, to get you out of hell?
Back in black, abyssal, endless
So one last serenade, as you fall for me
The night does not belong to god.
So..this was an exercise. The idea was to sneak song titles from different bands to make a cohesive piece.
