a brainwashed ghost and zombie
bumpkinly encounter snorting buffalo.
repercussion!
Resonates with me
the percussion of your moans
in belly dancing
He wielded power like a machete, ends up beheading himself

NOSE SMELLS ODORS
WHEN IT TOUCHES
WE FEEL OFFENSIVE
TOLERANCE SAYS
REPERCUSSION STAYS
MIND SMELLS ODORS
WHEN OTHER SPEAKS BAD WORDS
SENTIMENT FEELS OFFENSIVE
TOLERANCE SAYS
REPERCUSSION STAYS
NOISE POLLUTION IS TOO A KIND OF ODORS LIKE
THE NATURE BEARS SILENTLY ON EARTH
TAKES THE DEPOSITS OF DESTRUCTION
TOLERANCE SAYS
REPERCUSSION STAYS
I screamed for you.
To come and save me.
I yelled until my lungs went blue.
But my hands remain empty.
No one is here.
Not a soul.
No one is here.
And abandonment has taken it's toll.
I wonder if you feel any guilt.
Any at all.
Upon my life, your lies were built.
And all you did, was watch me fall.
Now you turn against me.
Once again.
There's nowhere I can flee.
I stand in line amongst men.
I stand with people I don't know.
Stronger people than I.
Here, they give me pain to bestow.
They give me a chance to try.
To prove myself.
To show that I don't need love.
Shallow becomes my health.
Savoring the "push and shove".
I'm one of them now.
Heartless, and still alone.
This happened, and I don't even know how.
I sacrificed all I've known.
Just to feel as empty.
Just as cold.
As you were to me.
Your lies, I bought and sold.
