In the eyes of the innocent
The memories of the dead
Beating against their cages
Jaded and not yet lost
They speak the words so clearly
But they fall upon the deaf
No truth be told – The future is blurred
The lines are drawn
With the blood of the strong
Waiting – suspended
Breathe
Will they seal our fate
Dooming us to hate
Spilling the blood
Of faceless man
Causing this dissolution
Not seen till too late
STOP!
Take a good look
Tomorrow –
Start deconstruction
Used and abused
Tortured for your amusement
Till I was finally told
I could never turn you on
Isn’t that what you said
But I didn’t want to see
For I believed
For years I lied
Only one mattered
That was me – Reality Dawning
There’s no turning back – No longer blind
Because now I know – You didn’t lie
Slept with one – he coveted another
Slept with another – he had many a lover
Slept with one too intoxicated to know better
This drought has been endless
I wander aimlessly – Searching for me
In all the wrong people
I will no longer bed the beast
I will not seal my soul
To dispute these beliefs
That seems so obscene
I must dispel this poison
That you pumped into my mind
Tick
Tock goes the clock
As they pick my brains
To devour all I know
And take comfort in all I don’t
To be the very last one
To take the final poke
Scratch
Scratch
Consuming every tender morsel
Raging and feeding
Do they know – what to do
When my shell is empty
Throw me out like trash
Into the city street
That glistens in rainbow slime
And feed off all the beasts
Garbage clad people
Wandering aimlessly in
Constantly darkened streets
Searching for knowledge
Without remorse
Tick
Tock strikes the clock
Endlessly
Tick – Tock
Tick …………..
Blood red
Death - Mans mistake
Taking away
What isn’t theirs too take
Bang – the tools of man
Dispersing their skewed judgement
Laying waste at their feet
To run its course – no end in sight
Why do they torture
Where begins this hate
Are we not all the same
Do our hearts not all beat
