For Clarity’s Sake
Softer the words, smoother the stab
Clearer the conscience, colder the heart
Facing the monster, cradling its vices
Devices cruel, machines of flesh and wine
Subliminal torture
Rape the lonely angel
No bargaining power left
To still this burning soul’s hunger
Gentler the touch, graver the affliction
Visceral breeding ground
Another pig to eat its own intestines
Another holocaust – this mind’s lost all perception
Why can’t you open up your eyes?
Why can’t you open up your life?
Why can’t you open up your heart?
Why can’t you open up your mind?
Pardon my intrusion but I don’t fancy suicide
Perhaps you’ll join me to commit more crimes
What’s the point of it all, of losing in life
The unsolved mysteries of our kind
The pathetic, pariahs and their hunt for self satisfaction
Sew your eyes/what you see isn’t real
Sew your life/what you feel isn’t real
Sew your heart/what you forsake isn’t real
Sew your mind/what you think isn’t real
I hear there’s hope.
Glad you’re up for the ride.
