Jagged edges slashing inside my head
Agony conquering simplified needs
Torments draining me of ambition
Voids accelerated in self destruction
The mind is processing

Fracture of the mind
What is a whole
What is a half
Of a thought
In quicksand floating

War torn mind
I want ravaged stability
In a cloned serenity
Drug induced sleep
For tranquil nerve thoughts
Ending

Hostility prone moods
Hidden in traumas
Cutting in emergency rooms
Bleeding of thoughts all over the floor
In a sterile environments

Mind wasted in sewer water
In stagnant pools of fermented milk
Coagulating lumps of vomit sour
Green slime of existence
Driven in a chemical imbalance

Dreams that torture more than reality
Reality in a bottle of booze
In a haze of blindness
To stagger for more
Numbness

Righteousness be damned
Spirits rebel to haunt
Preachers shout amen
A man is down
But according to God
Not out
Of his mind
When blessed
