The ice has all melted away

leaving me in a sanctuary of lonliness

as I strive to leave this world behind and penetrate my eternal salvation



as the addicts panicking floor search

I am one with the masses

In this sanctuary we have reached a short period of enlightenment

only to come crashing down in self betrayl



Why in this life must be succumb to all the artificial pleasures

All the chemicals have evaporated leaving behind a familiar taste in my mouth

the residue gives me the strength to go on for another day ... my savior and my pain



The speed of pain is far greater than i will ever realize

The speed in my brain will soon fade away



Teeth chatter to the beat of the slits in my wrists

screaming, wishing, desiring ... for something to take me away

Far from the reality that I so often disguise

Where or where has this little boy gone?

what has become of him?



These fingers scratch for creative keys

Push to leave behind the itches and twitches of drowned out blur

The oily fingers only slide in exercise

to this bloody complexion



All alone... all gone



The watery smear of misaligned frailty

All the birds have gone, flown from my hands

Left me in the rain, burning in this eternal desire



All these sleepless nights, all the hours spent lost in the blur

All the bridges I've burnt



No more mysteries , no more recreation



Pure Addiction behind these blurred eyes ...

The pain screams at the morning sun.... Into the darkness of the sleepless nights



For I must save my soul... before i die.
