"put the fire out"

lyrics

i was startled by the retina
that saw beauty inside of love
i looked up from the crosshairs
my reflection could not even shrug
my mind splinters from the thought that shrapnel tastes better than blood
pick my teeth from the dirt
plug my skin where it's likely to run
father, I've cleared my obsession with grief
mother, I was never born of you; forgive me
i get a bit of the itch when life has me prolific with breathing
stuck in the molder of feigning pious wrought with eternity
the throats are thick with grief
and their anecdotes aren't likely to soar
are they weeds or are they lice?
was it accidental or was it gravity?
absolutes are incomplete
gestation has haunted me
absolutes are incomplete
i’d better sort my misery
as the linen was uncoiled
and the table had wept
they sought kinetic light
that bloomed sacrament
and fawned and fabled
as it jeered behind rib
i was too removed from the room
to call it leviathan
i’ve no interest in a heart that beats
i burn the casket
black the eyes black the eyes
i sold my rhetoric
void the mind void the mind
i plead the fire
burn the hive burn the hive
i breathe insanity
patience has lost it's nectar
they needed an anti-hero
i had left my carcass in the dark
the display was void of any light
they felt cheated I felt free
they were beggars who needed me
selfish was I to give in to the itch of peace
i no longer remind myself to breath
now the worms hang in the water
the alphas dragged my heart towards the sky
and the soil it grew nothing
the omegas laid eggs down my spine
time and I stand still while death begs them to cheat
the mirror tricked my tongue into reading aloud
drown the pages in books with a violent sound
the slugs that await me are stuck in the round
i am darker now
the incandescence blew a hole in the crowd
rather than boxed I'll be fed to a hole in the ground
now I am stuck on a one liner that is sure to astound
put the fire out
