That's Why We Fall.

Loneliness is a dagger to the heart.
It makes you scream with lustful intensity.
And when the chips are down, it kicks you in the face.

Hatred bleeds like an ulcer.
Living inside you until it kills you or you die.


Death is the answer.
Losing is winning. 
Life takes time away from what you want to do.


Murder is a violation of personal freedom.
No one has the right to take a life.

People think the truth eludes them.
Even when it stares them in the face.
The trick is to own what is yours.
But most people just drink what the bartender pours.

Love has one source.
The sky is open to us all. 
If it weren't then someone would tell us otherwise.
Love can kill and give life.

Pleasure is more than sexual. 
It is limitless and filled with gratitude.
Sadomasochistic pleasure is the brain gone askew.
Its not your environment, its always you.

Fear is always real whether it is or not.
Fear and truth cloud the line. 
Whats real and imagined are the same thing.

Living is purpose. Without it your dead.
Some people think they have purpose but its only external.
Purpose comes from within with help from outside.


Rhythm is the key.
From walking to breathing
to the old heart beating.

People think they know.
When there is no way they could.
Blindness causes an inability to see whats going on.

That's why we fall.
