River Of Flames

by BreatheNoMore   Jan 14, 2005


Dark bloody rivers
This is how my existence appears
Been sucked down by this undertow
All these black and blue years

Mystic and endearing
Bright green flowing streams
These are the memories
Of my bullshit dreams

Washing over me
Seeping through my veins so tender
Visions of magic
I might look back and remember

So long ago
It was then I saw
Any quality of this world
Now blinded with flaws

Thrown so dreadfully
Into a river of flames
In disgust of my life
And all society claims

Daisies and daggers
And all those good things
I see them drenched in blood
All blaming me so menacing

Almighty pathetic God’s
Going about in a greedy fashion
You’ve already stolen my soul
Now you feed off my passion

Stabbing and thrashing
Till there’s no exhilaration to my being
Oh sweet misery
What left in me are you seeing?

Forcing these rivers upon me
Flowing from this scabbing slit
Shallow tyrants
Unworthy hypocrites

Flooding
Away my green drifts
Sucked uncontrollably into
Well-known black and blue cliffs

Oh divinity
I cannot return
To treading bloody rivers
Where this undertow turns

Mystic and endearing
Bright green flowing streams
These are the memories
Of my bullshit dreams

Daisies and daggers
And all those beautiful things
I feel them piercing me for blood
All blaming me so menacing

What good in humanity
Has passed me bye
With this world of plastic faces
My heart cannot comply
Compared to these daisies
With artificial smiles
Compared to these daggers
I am genuine inside
