Nightshade Lipstick
I scream for your pain
I scream for your gain
I scream to go back
to just being alright again
vanity spread out coast to coast
the ones I trust always gave so much
of what I needed most, companion
dark Saturn dark Saturn
silent as a lantern
like a ghost in the mist
that just exists
inclined towards preservation
An inkling towards a razor blade
sharper than an inner voice
more extreme than radical beliefs
that brings you to your knees
animal traffic what can I sell
what do you need
they call the catch lady
It happens, its real
meditate towards the other side
growing up in heaven
crime spikes in limelight
make the north star shine bright
stuck in a Rutgers ruck
I scream. towards the old me
if only it would hold me
I wish it may have told me
a hint of advice for the long nights
when the closest touch of empathy
could have saved or broken me
Fragile as a baby's bloom
a flood flashes warning signals
a mountain starts in the foothills
a subtle trace of nightshade lipstick
open stone cold deadly eyes
