Every Rope a Noose |
| Every rope a noose |
| In each knives' blade, a truth |
| Each day, greyer than before |
| Unwelcome life— |
| Long in the tooth |
| Colors, marred and queer |
| Ambitions disappear |
| The walls of shame are closing in |
| You’re fading fast— |
| You just can’t breathe anymore |
| Can you feel your skin yet turning cold… |
| …or rigor mortis' stiffenings? |
| It’s a dead life in this cold, dead world |
| So sink those rotten teeth right in |
| Let the disease within unfurl |
| Wrapped in silence, bittersweet |
| A trigger pull salvation: complete |
| Each stifled morn, the last |
| Coin to ferryman— passed |
| A tasteless tongue wags from your mouth |
| By plight of life, crushed in its grasp |
| Eyes of blind, blink not |
| Brought forth on earth to rot |
| Irreparably, they’ve damaged you |
| An empty shell— |
| You just can’t be anymore |
| No one can hear your death knell, ringing cold |
| Embrace your own insignificance |
| Pale skin feels paper thin |
| Weathered by erosive days |
| Raped of all of its innocence |
| Unending waves of self-disdain |
| Tormented— |
| An existence in vain |
| That weight which bends our spines |
| Inherit ancient strife |
| Struggling to stay alive as we anxiously deflate |
| Sheer madness fills our veins |
| Hell beckons with flickering flames |
| From ‘neath headstone with no name |
| All that’s left to be— |
| Is dead… and free |
| Dead, and free from this— pain! |
| Dead and cold! |
| Frozen stiff… |
