Broken Watch Works Like A Compass

by -Ghostship Fidelity-   Feb 23, 2006


Taking pills behind locked doors
To get near the crest of every sole
In this mass grave we dig for ourselves
And we are up in arms pressing onwards
Into a night that is pressing down
But it won't get us this time

With barbed wire webbing around homes
The screams were taken as laughter
Feeling so sensual with misconceptions
Enthralling the repulsing verity away

Allowing ourselves get lost in black outs
Do you hear shattered voices?

Lids of coffins propel downwards
Crushing caps off of gasoline cans
And it's transpiring into our shells
Nauseating repercussions take over our senses

Letting ourselves get lost in black outs
Do you hear shattered voices?

Static fluxes through the sky
Pushing down into each persons basement
News reports fade away
The last words the clearest in their minds,
"We had hoped to end conflicts here,
in a conflict of our own..."

Crashing straight into crimson doors
Flooding forth into hallways charred black
Ghosts crying at every corner

And we are letting ourselves get lost in this black out
Do you hear the shattered voices carrying down the stairs?
Paling into a afflictive cry screaming to be entwined
...
Everyone here is going down alone
Like the building their bodies are littered in

    Really dark. Some deep thoughts. A few spelling errors that didn't mess with the overall piece. Some cool imagery and some really great words. Something that was pretty good and well dark. Liked how just the words added to this.
