The ice has all melted away
leaving me in a sanctuary of lonliness
as I strive to leave this world behind and penetrate my eternal salvation
as the addicts panicking floor search
I am one with the masses
In this sanctuary we have reached a short period of enlightenment
only to come crashing down in self betrayl
Why in this life must be succumb to all the artificial pleasures
All the chemicals have evaporated leaving behind a familiar taste in my mouth
the residue gives me the strength to go on for another day ... my savior and my pain
The speed of pain is far greater than i will ever realize
The speed in my brain will soon fade away
Teeth chatter to the beat of the slits in my wrists
screaming, wishing, desiring ... for something to take me away
Far from the reality that I so often disguise
Where or where has this little boy gone?
what has become of him?
These fingers scratch for creative keys
Push to leave behind the itches and twitches of drowned out blur
The oily fingers only slide in exercise
to this bloody complexion
All alone... all gone
The watery smear of misaligned frailty
All the birds have gone, flown from my hands
Left me in the rain, burning in this eternal desire
All these sleepless nights, all the hours spent lost in the blur
All the bridges I've burnt
No more mysteries , no more recreation
Pure Addiction behind these blurred eyes ...
The pain screams at the morning sun.... Into the darkness of the sleepless nights
For I must save my soul... before i die.
