.............Paresthesic Squall.........
written by Schmall03:01 AM 1/12/05Paresthesic Squall
Searching for an answer,
Watching for a sign
They want to understand
By looking into my eyes
Myriad epitaphs, austere convictions
This will be my legacy
My epidemic is at hand,
Exasperated questions, severe theatrics
I am a valetudinarian I am emaciated
Wanting to care (wanting to care)
Held on so long (held on so long)
Took what they could gain
I’m still the same
Credibility fades
Treachery is to blame
Prosperity is lost
Nothing can be worth this cost
The clock ticks These sands of time
The road comes to its end.
Time is foolishly spent
Closing my eyes and watching it fade
Into nothing more than a facade
Fingers twitching, my body is itching
As I count down the seconds
“three, two, one”
A noise blankets another cancellation occurs
Into utter silence and ancient slurs……. |
