POISONED SPEECH
I squeal in a sea of empty
Fate drowns in my desire
Slip past its unfed eyes
I will only find surprise
Searching burial grounds of hope
Degrade the lungs of youth so sweet
Swallowed by your poisoned speech
Fumble toward a plateau
Stripped down to a flake
Of the self you call me
A thorn rips your skin
And you breathe within
To drip into the flower
And answer to desire
Trapped in mindless agitation
I find peace in separation
Turn the tide to radiate
Shine light on the things I hate
Slapped against a wall
I watch the earthworm crawl
Feel my bones break to ice
Find the feeling rather nice
Hold domain over my fate
Slay the locks that hold me down
Relaxation is the state I found
Trapped in mindless agitation
I find peace in separation
Turn the tide to radiate
Shed light on the things I hate
My eyes crumble under introspection
Nothing stands to your complexion
Subtle truths hide infatuation
With the pain I know is real
Stripped to sensibility
My mouth hangs shut for all to hear
Breathing in to begin again
Trapped in mindless agitation
I find peace in separation
Turn the tide to radiate
Shine light on the things I hate
And I see myself in the reflection
