It's only when you've lost everything

Inspiration drained
Tainted by caffeine
By THC
And my own mind
Muddled with ash
Lye kissing sweetly
Searing useless flesh
Brings me to reality
Life is a muse
A gleeful child
But not as good
As a punch to the jaw
As hard packing sounds
Blood down the drain
Of my soul
Fuck capitalism
Beaurocratic fantasies
Follow the herd
Do what you're told
Or fight back
And know this simple fact
It's only when you've lost everything
That you're free to do anything

Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken

Shaking under stress

Seems my trembling mind’s asleep

Waiting in anticipation

Of the big event

Seems it’ll never come

I am you

More importantly

You are me

This gun’s to both our heads

Never mind whose hand it’s in

The end result’s the same

Brain matter on a sea of glass

You’re finally out of my head

God forbid you ever come back

Even through blood

There’s clarity

My mind feels more solid than before

And I can see through the cataracts

To a place where I…

Explosions ravage the night

My alter-ego’s farewell show

And as I hold this lovely devil’s hand

I fall

Deeper and faster

Into the black abyss

That used to be my soul
