The virtuous vice I found in dream
Was left forgotten, lost in scream
Syringe slides down my sinful spine
Severed senses release my wine
Not long ago I saw a light
Seducing softly, burned my sight
I mark the days on shattered stone
Scar the memories to my bone
The ghosts that dream of living here
Know not the pain of loving fear
I hold within me endless hate
Dragging bodies next to fate
I won’t return what isn’t yours
I lost the key on darkened shores
Can you feel Hell beneath your skin?
Or welcomed lust you found in sin?
The taste is bitter, growing stale
Your eyes lack motion, coated pale
Why is it that my hearts own beat
Now burns the tune of reapers feet?
A toxic trail left in the snow
Leads me to madness and a show
The sane were never friends of mine
Proper smiles shot in a line
I do digress from case and point
Return the socket to its joint
I can’t recall a time in past
I didn’t save myself for last
But it was me you couldn’t see
To have and hold eternally
While forever cast a distant glare
I fell in love that wasn’t there
My rambled thoughts won’t seem to cease
In life’s last bow, a sweet release
One for the road, a morbid joke
I take a hit, exhale the smoke.
