Clean the fire out There wasn’t time to describe Massacres that occurred before we knew this shit life   It’s only tragic if you know we know we know It’s only natural for wives to walk away Today’s got a dirty hard on   There’s something wrong with you Found it in myself, So I love you too.   Dirty interest lies Behind the rat king Were all of us dead? Or is this a dream? It’s never taken but a bit of time to feel That wound’s weeping like a whore in ten-inch heels   Here at the end of it all I feel I am below it The whole worlds fucking over it Love will bring you somewhere, Not saying I’ll be there.   Broken, coinciding with the only way out We’re still outnumbered by our own species   I’m just bones in a box.

Not hard stuff All we want’s soft touch We need love No, we can’t find something that simple I could, I could It’s a wonder what exists beyond the veil every moment without you is a seizure an epileptic time frame of shooting stars No, we can’t find something that simple I could, I could No, we can’t find something that simple I could, I could I carved in mountains valleys The satisfying blood-letting Of a floating generation fearing disease Ravaged, angry, hungry, begging the tide of loveless seas to release (my mistress and) me Oh how dearly we depart in deafening darkness To what seems in a broad sense to be The greatest blasphemy

What a blurry night
this bender lasted longer than the pills in my pockets I’m desperate, don’t let me go dry Any time in which I lost A sense of me that once was mine Bare your teeth, young man you’ll see You’re not who you're supposed to be Uncle sam ruffied me to sleep last night, I wasnt scared about when he had my clothes off, he wouldnt know what to do. Breaking’s a process left best unattended Our mother’s had children whose lives never ended Do they really go where they say they go? I was not convinced, what exactly is Everything set around a fleeting dismemberment. What exactly is, what exactly is, What exactly is a common sense?

What’s not obvious? Just separate the talkative from the hungry (his eyes too old, his hands too spent, my body already raped to shreds.) It’s obvious, just form a line You’ll get your food in the morning Or after that, we can’t be sure, just make damn sure you adore me. (Ask me to bleed I will) just make damn sure you adore me. (cut me to feed yourself and you will) Why such broken eyes? Why such evil faces? Now walk inside These unforgiving places

I had longed to be reincarnated into something bigger than myself but I was never alive to begin with. it's a sob story gone very cold so i haven't been alive? well i think hell froze over long ago we've been living in it here, in our own homes, raping our children and beating our wives hoping for the one day we finally die lets borrow someone else's life westboro the direction to end all life Kinda worried, Father I’m a sad (sad) sinner (sinner) Anxious for the depths of hell I’ll cry it all out into a bucket Pour it on where I come from Call your savior what you will He’s just a face of comfort clothed with dollar bills

i found a being worth living for i gave it my heart. she loved me back, and i would love her more. i came from a place i'll take no pride in when some people get it scarred on their skin, i'll try my best to forget it existed. they must become more than they were. when i can make her smile, i can't seem to give a fuck about the fiction twisted reality. we're all helplessly married to it. when i can make her smile why the fuck should anything else matter. my ears hear the lonely moaning, i miss her though i never really cared. through anger, ignorance exists when you're always blinded by hate, god won't exist. market the words, sell the sin. the fairytale isn't true, but god will exist if you want it to. it only hurt me cause i cared. i'll see you soon though, not now though, i'll wait for you, even if this is an escape. if i can't feel you right now, i probably never will when my existence is foul you probably never will.

this is the last chance i'm giving myself this is the last chance i'm giving you and if there was ever something there i just couldn't see, don't fucking tell me the realization of no self and relationships going south it punched me so hard i could feel myself shit. if it's as bad as you say, then don't go alone it's the black pyramid honey. you live or die beneath it. oh god i need you more now than ever, but i know you don't have me on this one . i don't ask "is this love?" i know when i'm feeling something if you have to go find yourself then why go alone? i have experience at this kid i've known myself from day one. sure god's dealt you some bad hands but don't make me one (don't make me one) speed up time and watch you grow old hold tight all the words i forgot to say god is underneath her bed and she keeps praying to the sky and i'm preaching to the choir and they're tired of listening

Pygmy Jerboa 04:48
i am above me, the whole world is over me there's no notes to hit so i can't sing the song you left us in a state of depression walls breaking from the slight precipitation i'm on the home stretch to fucking nowhere desvenlafaxine, serene growing out of this clarity i'm addicted to uncertainty birthing your children, they just grow up to be whores birth your kingdom, its just filled with the poor wretched land, alprazolam i'm crossing my fingers behind my skin in the lords name, we all sin.

she's learning one mistake at a time alcohol is the step father we never had   and nothing is sacred anymore, nothing is sacred anymore, nothing is sacred anymore. the consequences of being near when i consume, i'm just being a dick, paying homage to the status. i'm just growing older, nothing is sacred anymore. closer to my premature death. nothing is sacred anymore, nothing is sacred anymore.   sir we're just fine, ignore the bodies in plain sight. it was just a fight. everything will be alright.
