Anticipation,
You see it coming!
Fascination
until the end.
Manipulation,
living life without a care.
Desperation,
without a friend.
Domination,
bound to go nowhere.
Deprivation,
you're going down.
Separation,
where did it all go?
Extermination,
nothing around.
You get into my head
and then you wonder.
Alive, or am I dead?
I still ponder...
...push then comes to shove.
A ritual; The ruins of love.
Thirteen things I did today;
1. Looked at picture books
2. Got drunk
3. Got even
4. Heard marching bands playing noctified jazz
5. Sharpened my tongue on sandpaper
6. Got religious
7. Got rigteous
Domination,
bound to go nowhere.
Deprivation,
you're going down.
Separation,
where did it all go?
Extermination,
nothing around..
There is nothing left of my body
And there is nothing left of my soul.
You chewed me up and spit me out
Always in control.
You get into my head
and then you wonder.
Alive, or am I dead?
I still ponder...
...push then comes to shove.
A ritual; The ruins of love.
8. Was nasty to a barfly
9. Kissed a saintly faced boy in a rainy doorway while the new mastic flag runs daisy wheels in the disco sky
10. Became a euro whole
11. Discovered cellulite on the back of my thighs
12. Passed a cemetery on the train and got scared
13. Drank a beer
