Ode to Mortality |
«I will soon start to read poetry |
Uh… might as well start about now» |
If my lungs can withstand these filth icicles |
The angels dust across the land of false prophets |
Maybe I clutch my poetry tighter |
Just to feel like these walls are still listening to drama |
Don’t bother the carpenter, there soon he plays harbinger |
He couldn’t shake the moccasin a moniker |
They only know him from watching upon their monitor |
Maybe they’ll cop a feel of a feeling from brain opera |
Life is an homage to death |
These cousins never kissed, nor laid in the bed to rest |
I sketch breath with sharp and broken pencils |
The message is permanent, it’s been etched into the mental |
«What do you think about the stars in the sky?» |
I’ll be seeing them soon |
«…in the, in the sky?» |
«It's okay, I guess» |
My skin is drenched in shadows |
But it’s high noon and I’m on the back of a camel |
Thirst is just an essence the devil is whispering |
As I slip into a room with a fountain, running rivers of gin |
See what you can have if you just loosen your grip |
The noose is just a rope and the pupil is just a drip |
Seeking light in the the darkness |
The dog in me is barking |
I procure drops of dark matter |
It’s pure oceanic space inside my eyelids |
The planets are in my iris |
Bronze light beams gold, king Midas |
They duck diving, eat riches like pretty wives |
You never felt alive if you’ve never died |
My bones never ache and my soul never cries |
I fall weightless in the wake of greatness |
Life is an homage to death |
These cousins never kissed, nor laid in the bed to rest |
I sketch breath with sharp and broken pencils |
The message is permanent, it’s been etched into the mental |
«What do you think about the stars in the sky?» |
I’ll be seeing you soon |
«…in the, in the sky?» |
«It's okay, I guess» |
