Babel
you can't see
what my eyes see
as hopeless
as these broken dreams
now it comes to me
sadistically
like a never ending
travesty...
I'll pay the price
a thousand times
and still do as I please
sanity's never
thinking twice
malady
always knows your vice
so vanity never leaves
her emptiness
a vital key
to a hopeless state of mind
exposing
every fault in me
imposing
its commodity
and you know
its just how going to be
itching on down the line
you know
there is no
stopping me
screwing up
constantly
but it's not
how I wanna be...
TIME! after TIME! after TIME!
I'll live an eternity
in constant adversity
it comes to me naturally
it's not like I try to be
and now
ANIMOSITY'S
MINE! All MINE!
invading all your privacy
I always fall from grace
and now I'm talking hell of it
right up in your face...
So how do you like me now?
I'm living' up
to what you say
staying up…all night and day
chasing all your dreams away
dragging your ass straight down
but it's
starting
to get to me
the misery
ecstasy
the agony
irony
consumed
by insanity
a calamity
vanity
What more can I say?
it's all just been
a pack of lies
the American dream... never alive
in passing
maybe
once or twice
the more
it makes you
fantasize
maybe a glimpse of me
the wings
can free
your broken dreams
and keep these lies inside
do you really know
what all this means?
on the wing
of a broken dream...
as HYPOCRISY denies
now it's constantly
mocking' me
performing Lobotomies
adultery and sodomy...
then walking away
an now it has
the audacity
wanting to
"Rapture" me
beyond my capacity
all broken dreams
just a passing phase
the words are
Intoxicating
Vibrant
Exhilarating
the results
always devastating
and I never change...
this just a little rant I
wrote about 20 years ago
(minus all the F bombs)
and why you don't drugs
it's total insanity
