Twisting nine inch nail caustic pain
shearing across the oasis of angels
Knives employed in sporting events
breaking all assumptions and
leaving them raging confined
Terminal velocity collection agency
outside the timeline
ostracize your families with urgency
crystalline blue-steel bullshit
still stinks even when presented in prettier packaging
Sadistic pampered harlots take your dollars
and line out the pleasures 24/7/365
all on your palm, lap it up
all promises are hate filled lies in the course of local diatribe
kissing the crowned messianic athletes
I’ll rape you on our next date, see you in court, don’t be late
The mountains simmer in mute anger
they wish to crumble your malignant beauty
the earth shakes again; we’re not in Kansas anymore Toto
let’s all drown in the river of waste
and then have a debate about the taste
Your mother was poisoned today
and the doctor wasn’t sorry about it
after all, she paid retail value
so sway to the tunes on the radio and think
to find the small truth in something that was written so long ago and far away that seems to be missing would feel like the sultry salt-sweat flavored kiss under the red sun of Eden
forever to be nothing and have everything
something was forgotten i believe it was important
but fuck-all if I know what it might have been
resignation sets in like a blade in flesh
piercing sudden and unwanted
so bleed all over everything, I’m cut anyway
paint it all in the colours of my life
thick sweet crimson like a fine red
leave it all and cry boo,
for lack of something better to do
and then maybe I won’t feel so dead
Wow! That is an intense, wild ride. I don’t whether to applaud or ask if you are okay.

Massively powerful. Incredible in its language I loved so many lines it’s hard to pick just one out. It sounds like this piece at least purified you a lityle
