Decadence
You've never destroyed me
I have constantly enjoyed you
off and on for many years
through Joy and tears
through bravity and fear
Decadence,
Beautiful dark angel
On the edge of a strangle
Yet I marvel I'm back
I'm not so dead after all
A morbid caress, to you I call
Decadence,
Who could not love you?
In your finest hour
blooming and growing
like a wildflower
I am obsessed by your power
You have had on me many years
Decadence
Do not slow down
As I grow older
Excess is better
Than all moderation provides
I'd rather live than slowly die
