The liquid is in your throat
|
||
|
One hopeless delight
|
||
|
|
||
|
After all you fell in love with death,
|
||
|
Life has aborted.
|
||
|
All you've had and all you became,
|
||
|
The night is calling, you pray for it.
|
||
|
|
||
|
A barren waste is your land
|
||
|
Your crops, they were sown to die
|
||
|
|
||
|
The skin is a mirror
|
||
|
Empty eyes hollow with ignorance
|
||
|
Health runs from your lips
|
||
|
Tucked in and safe in a world of sleep
|
||
|
|
||
|
All those years caring for a liar
|
||
|
A benefit road that is winding higher
|
||
|
You're a moth too close to the fire
|
||
|
|
||
|
You are stuck in a route of confusion
|
||
|
Changing and waiting and seeking the truth of it all
|
||
|
|
||
|
Fleeing your sorrows
|
||
|
Pushing your spirit away
|
||
|
|
||
|
The weakness of the psyche
|
||
|
A whisper from the heart of evil luring them all into despair
|
||
|
Resenting the goods of a savior
|
||
|
|
||
|
And cries out
|
||
|
For the restless will also die
|
||
|
|
||
|
A selection culled from the damned, drawing a lifeline of one
|
||
|
A friend died in your room and sought the birth of a follower
|
||
|
|
||
|
O brother, you are a killer and you target yourself
|
||
|
I wish you had never come back for us to see the beckoning end
|
||
|
|
||
|
And the pride of a mother brought flaws in a mother's son
|
||
|
And the love from a father was used by a father's son
|
||
|
|
||
|
Overheard us talking in a smoke of lost hope
|
||
|
The language of a parting so clear and so true
|
||
|
Overheard us talking
|
||
|
|
||
