When all we have is sand slipping through our fingers and the lines of our cupped hands
Who will we turn to?
Our hour of need is not eminent...but it is apparent in the way we writhe and squirm like worms and maggots before the power the drips like aconite from the giving tree.
The ones that knew everything
That held our hands behind our backs as they prostituted us out
Selling us like whores to the highest bidder to see who could get the most work
Who could build the tallest tower with the mountain of flesh, of blood, of puke and piss and shit and sex stain
Now cower in fear as the winds lash their pale, bruised, broken backs.
We were the forsaken. They...they aren't even named.
How lucky in this fine hour that you have fine china and fresh polished silver to eat from. This is the land of the free. Where the only cost is...pound for pound what you spend the chains and whips descend, the dogs bite deeper...one more bit of flesh chewed slowly from the bone, gristle squishing, muscle and sinew squeaking ever so softly in protest, blood dripping and oozing and pooling from the decayed mouth of the Golden Children.
Light another peace pipe
Inhale one more drop of ecstasy
Breathe deeply one final time of the powdered bones
This is, after all, our final finest hour!
Should we not celebrate as we have always?
Grinding our heels into the skulls of shrieking children as rats feast on their eyes and limbs...rubbing acid into festering wounds as we drop the innocents into heated lakes of salt...mindfucking everything in sight until we all collapse in an ecstatic mindless and oblivious orgy of hell.
BEFORE THE DAWN
Night Fliers. But we could have been anything. We raped our own souls. Tied ourselves to the Tree of Life and called the Damned to dance. Cut deep and screamed, shuddered, shook in the crimson ecstasy. And we dreamed about Paradise, Heaven for the ones who the fuckers wouldn't take because we were too pure.
Eat your heart out with a toothpick
Cut your soul out with a paper clip
Can I feast on your essence?
You drip black-green...
Rot pulsating to the holy anthem of an Oz-fest
I want to rest within you
My love for you is this
I will peel the skin from your bones
And ingest you bit by bit
The only way to save me is to give yourself to me
Eating out your soul day by day I leave you hollow and carry you away with me
What is Heaven my dear angel?
This place where maggots wriggle in the decompsing gel-sacks of your eyes
This place where you're puking acid eating shit as our bodies meld beneath a knife
This place where faith is molested and twisted beneath the light of an inferno
This place where as you scream your throat separates inch by inch
This place where demons rip themselves from the stomachs of virgins
And then return to rape their bodies as they convulse with last-of-life nerves
Welcome to the new day, beautiful
Welcome to what life should be
Welcome to a place where pain is only what you make it
And hell
Is an afterthought of peace
TILL DEATH WE DO PART
I refuse to take your looks
And I refuse to hold your books
I refuse to stand the test of time for you
I refuse to hold on tight
And listen to your bullshit through the night
And I refuse to stand all by myself
So go away
Leave me here tonight
I don't want your sympathy
Bordering on apathy
And we were to pathetic anyway
This is merely innocence
And how we all were givin in
To someone else's version of our Paradise in white
So take another pill
Or write another symphony to place it in a eulogy
And don't forget to say your prayers before you die tonight
We'll be ok
I said we'll be okay
We'll fall into our little world
Holding hands and screaming on and on
The night is long
I said the night is long
But together it's another game of tag
Running from the monsters in our brain
I can't hear your voice right now
But what do you have to say to me anyhow
You never wanted anything but to run from yourself anyway
I would have stuck around you see
But I can't take the irony
A blackened heartsick disease curing a suicidal flea
And I was too uncaring
To help you with make a parody
I only ever felt the pain you carry anyway
Let's run away
I said let's run away
Cuz the night is the only saving light of day
Let's kill ourselves
I said let's kill ourselves
Cuz that way we can save our
Apparent heartbreak before our hell begins
