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
