Time filed away this tragedy
One slip from the tongue and I was done
it's so cold a fact, so bold a move
but you're not even here to listen

Metal and wine overflow my veins
I'm distilled in pleasure and diluted in stains
Ten times my actions equals a little less than nothing
So what's the point of trying anyway

Hearts and strings constantly bending
In the frightened mess they spell out agony
and without a second thought they creep over me
This time they've overcome my senses

Thrilling novels left under the stairs
New endings hiding in psycho-knit layers
Running out of time, running out of wine
"Forgotten!" is my shrieking cry

Delusion leaves my eyes as pillows
Information lost due to misguided frequency
The knob keeps turning, my mind keeps burning
Time has left for the throat that still swallows
