I wish I could swallow every atom
Without them clawing my throat
As they fall to the junkyard depths
Constant lethargy is keeping me alive
And sirens just go right through me
Dissecting black holes
I wish I could swallow every atom
Without them clawing my throat
As they fall to the junkyard depths
Constant lethargy is keeping me alive
And sirens just go right through me
You spent too much time chasing vampires
When you should have followed the red star
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Now your organs fall apart like a teenage love affair
I may not have been able to stop the collapse
But I could have at least pulled out the needles
That were placed in your cotton flesh all these years
You blame everyone for what you subject yourself to
Never accepting the underlying cause of your blackened skin
That's about the same shade as your heart is now
I should probably be sleeping right now
The solar system's pangs keep me awake
Its sounds resemble a frightened child's weep
Selfishly, I hear a little of myself in every one
(all those nights spent clawing at the moon)
Every Time I Die projects a little contrast
Catharsis for catharsis drops dreams dead
I am awake while every atom slumbers blissfully
It's the end of the world, it's a moment of peace
The veins are drab and empty now
Contents dissolved to the airwaves
The sunshine is my rainy season
But I find solace in this dry wall prison
Consulting with my aluminum friends
We try to find the best way to kill wisdom
Tie a warm noose around its foundation?
Or feed it substance to keep it silent?
Forget it, all of this fills me with a sick lust
I'll just give my body to the wind instead
I hitched a ride to the blue coats' haven
To get the knife growing in my gums examined
They injected me with still life and sent me away
I wondered around the area for an hour or two
The world's eyes on me, unwashed and downtrodden
Until I caught a shuttle to an ocean planet
Hung around its orbit until the atmosphere opened
I lit up a smoke to curb the pressure of it all
Some lady came up to me and said "cigarette's kill"
I told her that life kills and inhaled it to the filter
Dove headfirst into the now opened sea
Where I washed the grievances from my body
And walked away with a bottle of chemicals
That I now digest at least once before I sleepYou were never satisfied with the beauty of poetry
Though you claimed to have it in your heart
Once revealed, all I saw was a chest of ash
The cremations of so called “terrorists” locked away
Who were probably just naive men looking for love
Mislabeled to justify war crimes and atrocities
Like an ex president with small dick insecurities
I would say that all trust for your kind is gone
That you stole it when you stepped down
Into the arms of ingots and flesh fireworks
But we both know that would rival your lies
No, this lamb will continue grazing in the fog
Until the wolves lure him away once again
My friend gives birth in the corner store parking lot
While vultures rush in, wailing the song of sirens
Red and blue flashing from there judgmental corneas
Apathetic that they’re feasting on the last of a free species
They gave us a half-finished product
Expecting us to finish constructing it
With psalms and green paper strips
Barnyard animals lack the opposable thumbs
To create anything that’s not a reflection
Billions herded to florescent death camps
The apocalypse and selfishness of complacency
In capitalist America, job holds down you
Straps down your imperfections to a gurney
And performs abortions with a flag pole
Skin caked in Hell’s ceramic
And I do not give a damn
Impressions are for majorities
I’m a rusted needle in a landfill
An eclipse no one sees
Motivation is overrated
The crowd chants “Go!”
The mirror yells “Stop!”
I feel like a cartoon boy
Lungs filled with rat poison
Enough to drown cognizance
Middle finger sprouted proudly
Aimed directly at the Earth’s orbit
I hope the peasants see it well
As they contort in conflagration
That erupts from my tear ducts
Every time the sun dares to shine
I imagine my face on every one
And what we look like inside
Splattered across the walls
