Overwhelming Gold

Another night another day And i find the gold overwhelming Like culture caricatures My flaws flood with gold Forget the scars, forget the scars Let the gold dazzle and distract you Let yourself be immersed In the history of my piece What amorous atrophy See how the skin never mends Never once thinking of blasphemous bullets that leave my muscles cordially corroded Forget the melancholy mishaps mounting meddlesome lacerations Where the simple truth is dropped like the mic and is all but scorned Another work of heart Place me in your museum Gawk and stare the tourists fall prey To their knees within the vulture circle Propagate the legend, multiply my misery Leave the only remnant, my emerald eyes, on display
