NAKED CITY
The sun is hiding -
The rain revealing...
The naked emotion
of what we are feeling...
The sky breaks open
& weeps down upon us...
We lie to ourselves
but the world makes us honest.
The world is a crack whore -
We crash on the hard floor -
We sing in the darkness
as knives leaves us bleeding...
This "too much" is too soon -
This high tide at high noon -
We bring our own darkness
as life leaves us breathing.
But we will know magic -
We wallow in tragic
empowering goals;
last breath: "nevermore".
And alone among others -
We swallow our brothers -
Devouring souls as death
smiles hardcore.
