liquid ecstasy
she's the kind of woman
that you imagine what
she would taste like
while sitting on your
face before you even
see her
cherries and sunshine
liquid ecstasy
the last tab of desire
you put under your
tongue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
flushed down a toilet
i never bothered to
ask for permission
or seek any forgiveness
what’s the point
i'm pretty sure hell
isn't any worse than
the last forty years
on this earth
i told my mother i want
to be cremated and put
it an ocean or flushed
down a toilet
it's all the same to me
by then anyways
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
only get you so far
the neon angel
doesn't talk to
me much anymore
apparently, love
can only get you
so far in this century
------------------------------------------------------------------
no relief ever came
blessed with a talent
where most of the
money comes once
you die
i once sat in the
middle of the street
on a busy afternoon
i waited patiently
no relief ever came
the cops used to
drive me home
on saturday nights
white privilege at
its finest
-----------------------------------------------------------
without hardly any snow
yet another
winter without
hardly any
snow
thank god
my schooling
years are long
behind me now
i completely
understand why
the youth are
in revolt
-----------------------------------------------------------
the load of a broken soul
i'm used to the pain,
the side eyed looks
from afar
my demons are always
looking for a party
while my body is
constantly tapping
out
the bad back is done
carrying the load of
a broken soul
sadly, arthritis has me
at the point where even
a crawl is damn near
impossible
time to find a vein
and double the dosage
-------------------------------------------------------------
