#sulfur
Staring at gravestones Wondering what it is to Exist, no longer. Smell of sulfur, Feel of bone; Still as water.

Appalachia
Am I a good person? Underneath all these layers (The layers of an onion) [Like Shrek, full of layers] -pretty sure the onion quote is dead- I don't want you to remove my layers to find a person that isn't the same on the outside. Onions are perfect because with each layer they look exactly alike. If you took me apart we'd find the person I think you want me to be. (If you took me apart you'd be a murderer) [Don't try to find out, organs don't talk.] -The mess would be such a hassle- I wish someone could tell me. It's all in the way, these layers they're all that we have.

Bojack, Tell me.
All the acrid smoke And dust of the world Fills my lungs Burning Burning like a fire I can taste the sulfur on my tongue And feel the charcoal sticking to my fingertips I look around And all I see is a wasteland.

We all gonna end some time,   that's the rule. And we gonna go enjoy. Ya gonna burn up, baby. But ya gonna burn it true. I'm gonna burn up, baby. And I gonna burn so free. I'm gonna burn so free.

The Sulfur Cross| 10. [[Hail Satan]]
With this torch, I thee smoke, with my third eye, I thee worship, and with ease, I set my earthly goods ablaze: In the name of the Flower, and of the Bud, and of the Evil Goat. Tim's Chips.

The Sulfur Cross| 9. Smoker Mantra
If I told you what it is I want like you ask I tell, would it matter much? Matter at all? You forget over and over we've ever had this talk so if open up, spill my lair for you, how I am I to find the confidence in spite of the fear? And I ask you to give me a hand. Explain what it is that will satisfy. You agree to air. Close your eager eyes. Wake. And forget. Until it happens again. Every single bed time. Til I hit the grave. Pinpoint. Comet style. Crush the earth. Leave a bitter hole. Never quite sure if I'm hurting myself or hurting someone else.

The Sulfur Cross| 8. Bed Time
If I got a headache every time someone wrote about natural beauty, I'd have an aneurysm. And now I have one more. Headache. I'm still waiting on the aneurysm.

The Sulfur Cross| 7. Peace Beauty Nature
Shower, you touch me, still, hotter than clumsy fingers. Clumsy advances. In the water, I see shapes rising in steam built by the confidence I can manage, alone with you, when I sing. . . . Lights out, cast a dark net. Got the      yellow lights outside, though, catching my plans on the unbalanced heel, but the      assisted glow just makes my. . . my aura cut out a visible, protective shape. More than this, in the music, wearing my skin, proud, yet naked, I       bravely emanate. Oh ((oh)) Oh ((oh)) Oh ((oh)) I won't live forever. Oh ((oh)) Oh ((oh)) Oh ((oh)) I just want some      infiltration. I just ((just just)) I just ((just)) ((just)) I just -- wait. It's no meager thing. I'm no meager thing.

The Sulfur Cross| 6. It's Cool to Steel your Standards
Come to think of it, I've strung a string of selfish lovers, since the first lover to covet my heart. Enter the present, I'm of the morose understanding, the cutthroat waters of the waking world. . . Temper the mind to take, raze, and **** Take Take Take Temper the heart to quake. Quake Quake Quake at the fulfillment of practical demand. Quake Quake Quake on bended knee, in dream, for love for free.

The Sulfur Cross| 5. Quake (Triple)
My, my, my, what am I doing? By staying alive, they're not losing, but what am I proving, for myself? Don't get me wrong, I'm not crying -- but objectively, my fingerprints remain ever obscure, don't they? Digital: I'm a ghost. Lo - Pro. Analog: I'm not. . . really present.

The Sulfur Cross| 4. Pinnacle
They, they call me greedy, exclusive, taciturn. . . That I've learned from my disease --chronic listening-- which voices I'd rather not hear. Most of these sing song smiley faces beat you to the punch as if they're racing past you after a ******* badge. You want a badge? Well good for you. Go online and buy one. They said "spill your guts" And So you spill out ******** Thinking that you're making friends, while I'm hard pressed to believe you would be believed by anyone worth friending. You want a badge? Good for you! I'll make you a deal if you decide to buy one. I'll pay the cost for the custom laser engraving: "Sheriff Big **** in the land of      "No      One      Gives      A      ****

The Sulfur Cross| 3. Mayor McGreedy
Grind you up into portions. Serve you up to the horde. What was temporarily yours, will feed the meat of the future seed. Sure enough the scene before the excited mind, the silent mouth, shall seemingly go completely unnoticed til the matter mounts.

The Sulfur Cross| 2. Orc Kind
Give me brushes and something colorful not tested on a thing with a heartbeat and watch me go! I love me. I know how I like      to look. Think that this face is for you? Think again. Think that      This Face is for you      and your. . . Think again. Think again.

Sorry, Mom
you said you don't want to hurt me yet words lash like a whip rending flesh from the heart what is done, cannot be undone words cannot be unspoken or unheard unapologetic and cold there is no bandage for the wounds as the blood falls from my eyes in sulfur and ash
