Spit fire and spin honey,
the target-a wealthy man and his money.
She has no other talent that qualifies,
just the sum of what quantifies.
She's got cause and family ties,
under the guise of friendship and lies.
Depending on time to line her pockets,
she waits like a spider to sign the dockets.
The honey it dries,
the old man dies.
It evokes such pain and indifference,
targets of especial sentimental significance".

Sterile relic of born conscience sleeps fitfully
Under carrion comfort slipper condition
Stones drown status creature's treason
Into vipers cavern wall containment
Broken beats fuel breastplate emotion
Debased inside pains metaphor our hollow defiance
Struggle shadow grasps symbols image draw nearer
Verbal cue quantifies despair matter zone hemisphere
Basal attraction cauterizes memories terminal subtraction
Unstable impulse forced function upon comedic prose
Haunting audio 78 turns ghostly round torrent beside me
Holding a mind and a heart working together
Fighting the moral conflicts that never end forever
They are the dreamers and the believers
Living a life different from the regulars
Emotions play an important role
Practicality dwells in the corner of the hole
They like to be in a state of utopia
Constantly looking for a better euphoria
But that is often sensed as a mistake and not as a gift
It creates imbalance and quantifies the reason of sorrow
Advises overflow to bring you down to reality
But they will never understand how hard it is
To ask someone to be somebody not meant to be
