Addiction;
Rainy-day child to the sun he was born.
Soaring wings arisen to clouds of a thorn.
Manifesting evil, lifeless and torn.
Silver-tong devil will never be scorned.
Worms crawling on highways of gold.
Never reaching the end, American stories told.
My spirit grows wiser with every taken path.
A story book ending will never come to past.
Melting veins in the arms that sleep.
Mountains grow smaller with every breath I keep.
I have arisen to break-through the barriers of this earth.
People tremble by the size of my girth.
I'll show you paradise just six feet below the sand.
A stream of blood flows through a black mans hand.
Age defiling darkness, rooms on an empty land.
Pimps and harlots chasing a one-shot utopia strain.
I'm hidden in the minds of everyone you meet.
My powers are endless, so grasping, dark and deep.
I get a new surge from the people I can't stand.
Addictions my name, will you ever understand?

My World has been crushed; it's been destroyed
All has been lost, there is no hope
I've been replaced by one who
Blurry shards of accusation
fall near to where I kneel
a slave
waiting for more sugar coated poison
Haloed outlines in colored
