tears of red stain my cheeks
while the old mountain shakes
I quiver and coil
hidden in foil
that this putrid world drowns me in

you soil my peace
with tongue twisted lies
you boil my patience
with hideous lust

I crave to fill the void
endingless addiction
shaded from moonlight
preset expiration

maybe tonight is the night
that I terminate my misery
leading on the fools
with which they wish to see

educated in theory
the edge craves my step
dismal desperation
blindsided by emptyness
