Marathon of Demons

“MARATHON OF DEMONS” here I am again standing with the lonely, the shattered, the children of the night. the possibilities are gone, the building of the structures is gone. Gould for the moment is silent, the demons of paranoia silenced, the hope to hear I love you too, silenced. just run through this Hell Eddie, run through it and you’ll look back and laugh just like all those other times you did. stay awake until you see what isn’t there, walk the city until you can’t feel your legs anymore. avoid the crowds and find the darkest of corners for your isolation at night, the gods will watch over you. no one can understand why the small amount of money in your pocket is worth a thousand. the nights will remember the smoke from your cigarettes; the drink will enslave your pain and the air from the midnight breeze will soothe your insanity. your ass is safe on the streets but never forget, they are the streets for a reason. you must watch each step out in the playground, it could be a pleasure or your last. each step, like each choice, will alter the tears you cry.
