What Was Never Real

Misconceptions from a 
polluted mind.

Gathers the pick just to 
fight a storm.

What seems to be 
normal walking inside 
Wonderland.

Was felt but certainly 
never real.

Adding the cards that 
were dealt.

Divided by the sum of 
my fears.

Evens the streams from 
my screams.

Tearing through every 
seam in my dreams.

Six silver sickles are 
covered with blood.

Twisted together with 
the broken bones from 
my loveless heart.

Insanely unable for a 
forward move.

The dead man in the 
mirror.

Will be displayed in 
time.

I smackface my veins 
with a life of poison.

I choose to loose.

I am happy without one 
reason.

I am high with my 
choices.

I can hear the echoes.

Sounding the noise 
from demon voices.
  
Assured by syringe.

My addiction becomes 
my hell.
 
So I will tell.

I would if I could.

Sell the rites to all four 
the seasons.
