Seven Deadly Sins
Suicidal motions following this melody
With pain comes ecstasy
Blood flowing instantly
Forming a beautiful monstrosity
Rage brings insanity
Uncontrollable profanity
The imminent loss of sanity
A horrifying calamity
Anger shadows envy
A need for this empty entity
A deep void inside of me
Filling it through gluttony
Coming from inside
My flaring pride
Moving every emotion aside
I can’t help but abide
I know what I need
To thrive through my senseless greed
To arise and succeed
To take the air you breathe
Sloth sits behind my head
His voice slithers, cold and dead
Making decisions that I dread
Weighing me down to never leave bed
I am alone upon many
But women are plenty
I desire all over any
Lust drives my energy
The words I speak are fake
Lust is my sake
Clothes fall as my hands will take
Nightfall has shown my sinful mistake
Wrath sets my soul ablaze
A state of craze
A possibly eternal phase
Causing terror in countless ways
Horror spreads through lands of virtue
Every intent to hurt you
Madness’s breakthrough
You know it is so true
Here are my seven deadly sins
Nestled below my skin
Where to begin
When to give in
