These were written as song lyrics, as most everything I write is, though with my lack of singing ability they're cursed (please don't take this as an attack) to be read-only poetry. Critique form if you like, but don't think I've taken it into mind, or ever will. Heh.

Concupiscence
-----------------------
Mixing substances
Like so many temporary heroes
I'll forget by tommorow
Suffocated amphetamines
So many ideal idol dreams

Lethargy themes
Phosphate functions
Larynx angst
Verbose narcotic

I want to write something beautiful
For the epilogue
Requiem nostalgia
The cheers are gonna burn
Across a jagged white smile

Lethargy themes
Phosphate functions
Laryxn angst
Verbose narcotic

I just can't wait
There got the goals
I just can't wait
There go my goals

Remember To Smile(TM).

Not certain where to pull the punches for and where to lay into song lyrics, but I did note that the last stanza seems out of place.  Why?  All one syllable words after what was a rather verbose first four stanzas.  But maybe contrast was the effect you were hoping for. Goodluck.

Disclaimer: The preceding statement is just my opinion.
