It is days like today - I should take the time to die...
Cut tender, golden skin
Stain it with beloved crimson rivers
In remembrance of painful times - excruciating memories.
Who lives here?
There's no one but me - living in the land of disruption.
Only malaise remains constant - causing present deadly thoughts
To shift - find deeper psychological crevices to crawl beneath
Tearing my soul to shreds.
Am I here?
Make no mistake, dear beloved witness to my death
Take note of these words - for they're my last:
'To love is Man's biggest mistake -
To have faith in another is his second...
And belief in someone who believes in nothing is his last.
For death shall swiftly come - blast that tortured soul to nothingness...
And then -
Take trust - break it apart - until you are standing alone...
Surrounded by the drippings of bleeding arteries - veins
Wondering how you came to this.
Betrayal burns you here - and God has turned his face.
You are but alone - in a sea of unknowns
Wrapping shivering arms around a world which has refused you.
Live for something - and die for less
Those words will forever be etched upon these lips.
Make no mistake, friend...
Heaven's a lie.'
Goodbye.
