Sublime

The dust lies dormant beneath the bed Which holds the fragile life it bitterly longs to suffocate Dissipating into the corners of imagination My screams go unheard and unrecognized Between the knife and an absent God I choose the precariousness of the rusty blade I am beyond the means of salvation Passed the reason of logic Just lift my head long enough To see the sun rise I was promised so much in this life Yet to see any of it I was denied too much to try To see the truth from the fiction Beyond the sun-bleached drapes breathes a world whom Every day, devours countless victims, too naive to hide from God Dissipating into the corners of imagination My screams go unheard and unrecognized Between the knife and an absent God I choose the precariousness of the rusty blade Heaven and Hell have the same masters So long as I kiss the right ring I’ll be subdued long enough To see the blemishes on my choices Drive right between what you want and what you need I only care about what you fantasize and what you see I am your only means of retribution You’re my only way to reach my destination Please, kiss me one more time For my sight has died to intoxication My make-believe is so much less Than the reality you promise me Than anything you promise me
