Painting

Born into the world We hold heavenly pictures Speak of beauty and innocence Yet wait for the evil to unfold Not that the picture be stained Not that it be abused But erased, never to remain Thrown into a river Slowly watch the colors fade away It’s falling apart Falling apart Then feel your body shiver Now that you’re lost And now that you may Have no beating conscience Be ignorant to the time of day Losing touch with the value O’ the values But inseparable to a dead feeling To the time of forever-ness You’re falling apart Watch your skin become pale Watch your hair lose its color And watch your health fail Like a painting, losing its elements Not that you thought Not that you made a choice But that you were spawned into life With an unheard voice As the sun appears, then disappears In the sickening sky The blind still lead the blind The scent of degenerates Strengthening in the winds of life Make the generations drunk Thoughts of decadence Loved by the minds Eternal illusion No, no one can see If there were a God Too grand a god To worship, not to curse The this better not have been destiny
