Lost Treasures The Day of Mourning “Lost Treasure's Collection”
Time slowly creeps on by
before you know it, it's your time to die
trading your soul for just more time
even sober I can't walk their straight line
while presidents commit political crimes
My voice heard by the tip of this pen
remember what it was like back then
I can still feel the pain
scars burned in my brain
and the thought of going insane
can you reach your dreams?, or touch your god?
a ghostly visage, a desert mirage
offspring of knowledge
sons and daughters of the white coat sage
no more lies, no more killing
a utopia for the filling
Thousands of followers, devout believers
sheep to the herd of deceivers
A slave to the market
A broken government, that fails to commit
A wasted life, filled with regret
Pick away your flesh until you reach bone
while you pray your sins will atone
for when you die, you are alone
A Devil in disguise
claiming your soul as the prize
No where left to run
No escape for the sins you've done
The Sun is setting, your thoughts regressing
all while your body decays, screaming gods name
suffering from a lifetime of pain
There was once a garden full of flowers
and romance that lasted for hours
just a fading memory now, that will live forever
in my mind as if hidden treasure
and an even more sinful pleasure
Burn your resolution, searching for Absolution
killing your Ambition, all in the name of your addiction
for when you have nothing left
you will pray for death
The world is Decaying
the Diseases are staying
cripple the youth with hallowed views
so the church can fill their pews
An Angel to a god that does not care
An Angel to a god who's just not there
The Children are starving, but you can eat
thinking the world is at your feet
A life they try and cheat
'I am damned', they preach
Myths are what they teach
and I sin to feed their leech
while its easy to take the blame
will you stand and take the fame?
It's a day of mourning, it's a day of loss
Everything has changed, discarded, or rearranged
No longer in retrospect
Long lost self-respect
Just waiting for it all to infect
When there is nothing left
Just emptiness that can only be filled by death,
there is a starving dream
of something I struggle to realize
in a world of limited compromise
I'm trapped in a void of lies
hallow and numb
no where left to run
'A lifetime spent on a single debate
A lifetime spent harboring all this hate'
In the valley of the damned
will you shake the devil's hand
A society born with a prescription
Slaves to the Medication
deluding the mind
committing the perfect crime
A poison is it's name
numbing the senses, killing the pain
Can you see me?, fading fast into the night
Lost and losing this fight
no longer safe inside my head
for one day I will be dead
but will I smile, in the end?
