lyrics

Open wound
Body collapse
Atrophy is my name
It’s my symbol of existence
Carries me, forward
I alone know
I’m a puzzle piece
Pale beast
Illuminated by
this rejection
no advances
No moves into
the dark
I can’t negotiate
your rites
This life alone can judge me
I’m on speaking terms
with
your failure
and I would
rather
let it laugh at you
Savor the foul taste
Rot will be all you have
Soon enough
Loss for words
You’ve never had any
Inarticulate bastard
Eloquent in silence
Fashionista of sophistry
New idol for broken youth
The devil’s honest in
their offerings

But all of your gestures are fragile
As alluring as they may be
What’s innocence but an intent denial?
You may know the abstract idea
of fate, the terror that it brings
But poison always tastes sweeter
Peace as mindless complacency
Vengeance too is a pittiful claim
But what’s your game but a stained aftertaste?
Silence will eclipse you,
sugar melting into blood,
you’ve helped many dig their graves
But what’s the fault in an absence of fault?
Mouth shut,
exit path to nowhere,
shard of a kaleidoscope,
eyewitness to a single crack
juvenile nitpicking,
letting you set a perceived fault aside as fragile
apart from every single imperfection
and soon you’ll choke on the glassy taste
of your own crimson puddle of regret.
