A Tongue Ate the Invisible Forest

THE WORLD ate the lungs of the forest 
and HUMANS escaped the pain to answer
this little WORLD who they made crazy
 
  Why do mouths lick their lips
and politicians line their pockets with
the blood of bleeding people's tears?

  The devil is knocking upon the living's door.
. drop your religion of deceit and hate___
how is it when little creatures eat your feet
you praise their words and move on?  Haze
and confusion and how i try to step forward...
is somebody gonna save the world?  Save the World.

Angels falling -- purer than purest pure
whisper of a whisper s0(big with innocence)
forgivingly a once of eager glory.no
more mi8racle may grow --- praise god who has
many names and the devil has many more

i walked the miles and awoke the same.  In the voice
inside my hEAD.  Torturing the words of the rocks
rolling -- the day i tried to live bruised my soul
all over.  The day mother and father died i knew
we're alone:  say, 'one more time to die?  one more
time around this circus cloud of pain.

The pain was great and hated how my face melted the 
paint i brushed across my pure face -- so one more
time around, one more time around the joke of how
i tried to live.
