As We Lay Ourselves To Sleep

directed from the point of beginning to our current situation -- oh god almighty, 
they've let go of
the nation. acidic rain spills from the skies, from the eyes of god --creates 
invisible poison
with the intention of murdering upon each breath. [keep breathing] in & out, 
maybe if i say
the right thing the atmosphere will sing & shed the weight of vulgarity. i hope 
hope isn't
hopeless; i pray the day isn't all god has to say.
