lyrics

All has torn loose and and bled itself dry
The void is a God of tears
Whispers are blaring like screams all around
Things spoken to the night
Dreams truncated amputees of fear and hate
Lay in ruins like cigarette ends amongst trash
Faces are all holes around you
Empty places in a crowd of thieves
Take your place amongst the broken
Twisted forms that once resembled living things
Lovers and dreamers like us
That dared open their hearts and look towards the dawn with hope
All dead , all husks ,
Feeding on despair as thick black milk
Puked from rotted breasts that dangle from a mother's corpse
She had been defiled long before you were born, used and violated again and again
You bear no blame for this
The poison you injest ,the hate it contains, the poppy you inject is a caress you never had
An understandable escape
From the never ending rape
The way the world molested you
Discarded you like a filthy rag
Left you in a sewer
To choke on waste
Did you ever dream of a tender
Mother how could such a thing exist here ,one who held you close and kissed away your tears
Whispered in your ear
You are a light , and you are safe
And you can rest , you are loved
And you can sleep here warm against my breast
Oh to be there with you
As a child
To see you smiling as you
Slept
That dream you would have dreamed
You never did
And now
There is nothing
Left
Except a sign that blinks
And buzzes in the hallway
Above the door
Past the bodies
And the trash
And the screams
And the needles
As you take one last breath it
Reads
Exit
