I LEAP IN THE DARK
Toward eyes so bright
Beacons in the dark
Like a fly circling shit
I am drawn to light
Drawn to my negative
Glowing silver in the dark
My tongue is coming in
And my voice a foreign sound
Taste buds blooming inside
A rotting cavern of decomposing words
Mouth of shit
Stench so strong it tears down walls
Revealing food for thought
Sweet, sweet energy divine
Let me be so lucky
As to lick your skin
Realizing your sticky-sweet
Sugar soaked skin
Tastes of salt and vinegar
Stinging my tongue like acid
I retreat in search of alkaline
To sustain my blood
Blood red as wine
Flesh of my flesh
Why dost thou betray me
Bitting the apple - not the first sin
But lusting for the scarlet gem
Hung upon the tree of life
Smelling the fruit pulled from limbs
Ripe and ready to burst
You thirst
And with the bite of life comes the prick of death
Mourning the son while birthing the moon
Crying lakes of fiery tears
Spitting flame and bleeding poison out your veins
Placing band-aids on wounds in need of stitches
Your pipes so rusted they bleed gold
Diamonds are rocks that blind from rainbow-rays
And now all that is seen is black
A coal mine covered in soot
Blood diamonds exchanged for caged birds that sing
A world coated in darkness, how, you ask,
Were you to know to run when everyone was
Stuck in hot tar sidewalks
Asphalt and plastic
Concrete and glass
Metal machine monsters
Without home
Desolate disturbed despair
I can not sleep among the wreckage of Atlantis
A lost city of forgotten dreams
Sparkling within the crystal globe
Of glittering guts and glory
Glory hallelujah!
The Saints are marching in
Machine gun marching in
Father Son and Holy Ghost
Gunning them down
Women and children
Gunning them down
WOMEN AND CHILDREN
While they blow bubbles
And bake bread, burping
Their babies until they turn blue
Mouse on house let all the rats in
Until the city was over-run with vermin
And I am sick
I am sick
Dope sick
Breathing combustible carbon
You like to equate with power
Throwing up neon lights
In patterns of blue yellow green purple and red
And orange
Code orange, to liberate hate,
Throwing up orange out my eyes ears nose
Mouth fingers and toes
Till it soaks my heart and filters through
My mind toward the unknown dimension
Of time eternal
Infinite jest
I will never know the jokers face for he is
Forever changing
Peeling off masks to reveal
A mirrored reflection of myself
Don't Look Back
Heaven and hell on earth
The Saints are marching in!
Into the sparkle of glittering eyes
Darkness and light
Cockroaches trailing through shit to pave the way
A field of orange blossoms left behind
Heaven or hell on earth
You decide....
