third from the left, center to the right
abrasive, and disconsolate, emerging from the night
distill the light, the dimmest sight
what i thought was wrong, was always right
always down the same path, but different every time
collapsing and decaying, beneath the ladders i shall never climb
all was thrown away before i could get it together
open your eyes, past this disguise you will never sever
under the skin, all the tortures within
needles and pins, will ease away all the sin
yet another day past i'm sure to forget
carefully placed in this moment i'll soon regret
a soul gone under, all plight and plunder,
light gone without thunder
all my past will never last, future comes too fast,
the present was never even there to begin with
scabbed hands caress this wounded machine
cuts and scratches, all skin and bones between
failure of the system, you know the drill
despair of me, for I’ve learned the art of nill
...but sometimes the weak, crawl out from underneath….
