The Junkie's Prayer

This tidal wave
My life overtaken
I surrender again
To the piercing of my flesh
Blood spilling
Pulsating veins
One more time
And, tomorrow...
I promise to stop.

My Bizarre Reality

I'm snow white
With an ash painted face
A Japanese Gangster
Tattoo's in lace
A night purple shade
I'm Van Gogh's Sky
A Picasso Dream
-He must've been high

Potassium is an Essential Nutrient!

I want to peel you
Like I might a rotting banana
Exposing your insides
And, savioring the good
Chewing and swallowing
What's left
Leaving the rotten parts behind
The skin left a heap on the floor;
Waiting for the next person to
Slip, trip or fall over
With the realization that it's empty inside-
Nothing is left.
Even the decay discarded
Seperately,
And divided amongst the pits of human waste.
With the consumption of your soul
Nourishing my body like a silver-white
Soft-light Metallic Chemical Element.

The Curtain Closes

I sit here again
Starting once more
Lost yet another friend
And, now I feel as if I've lost the war

Shattered and broken
Now I lay bleeding
A knife through the heart-
To stop the beating

So empty-so lost...
So beauitfully broken
I cry and I sob
On the floor choking

I give up
-This time for certain
I'm done with this play
Please just close the curtain!

We Are One-We Suffer Together

The Revolution lives…
Mind pollution gives
A reason to this game
A season with no name

A rapture's what we'll call it,
No, you just cannot stall it!
Giving in…seduced by dark
No longer just a Question Mark

Asking why? Or, how? Or, when?
In the dark-yes yet again!
We succumb to all the death around us
We feed and lie
As the rest surround us

A taste so pure
So bloody, fresh
We bite down
Upon the flesh

Beautifully Strung

Strung out and beautiful
Kind of like my drug
Strung out and worthless
Now this is kind of fun
It's also kind of sad
Sort of like a song
One that has no end
Unless you pull the plug

Stop the screeching
In my ears
Erase the pain
Erase the tears
Stop the torture
Through my veins
Stop the violence
Stop the pain

I cannot take it
Anymore

Just a Horror Picture

Look into my face
Look into my mind
If it's sanity you look for
It's what you probably will not find
Gone are the days
That I had peace of mind
The contract has expired
And I signed the dotted line
There was once a world
A world I thought I knew
But, along with my sanity
That world is gone now too
And, now I sit here stuck
I'm living in this hell
Drugs they did take over
It's my soul that I did sell
I sold it to the devil
As I shot another bag
And, now I sit in pain
And, scream and choke, and gag

Have You Ever Been To Hell?

Have you ever been to hell?
Well, I can show you how it looks
It sits inside a needle
Guarded by the crooks

All the Devil's children
Stealing souls by day
No matter if we beg
Or, what we do or say

They take away our freedom
They cuff and tie us down
We try to scream out loud
Yet, we cannot make a sound!

The Devil's guards' they are
They sit outside the cage
Dressed in body armour
And, filled with only rage

Transfixed.

I lay in a coffin
Rest my eyes, as I close the lid
Now finally of
-This sorrow, I now rid.

As my body grows limp
And, my breaths start to lessen
A gun slides in my mouth
As I pull the trigger of this wesson

Spewing through the air;
Blood surely splatters
The sound is so raw-
It's mixed with organic matter

The brain; it flatlines.
As does the heart
Farewell to the soul;
Was there even one from the start?

The Book Slams Shut

Tell me would I be more beautiful-
If I spoke just like you?
Would I be more willing-
To do the same things that you do?

Superficial and dead;
Yes dead to the core.
Feelings are overrated-
They just seem such a bore!

I felt them all once
Yes, I felt them before
And, then I felt as if I were dying
As if I were Death's Little Wh*re!

So I gave up emotions
I became cold and displaced
I wiped all the tears
That were streaming down my face
