I've drawn a line
Made of pride and filth
Misconception and screaming runny noses
Where the air is cold

How many times does it break
Before its considered broken
Soothing spray of layered razor blades
It makes me smile

I fantasize about love
Existance with a purpose
Inside my muscle tissues where the flames rage
And I'm slobbering on a piece of lead

The beauty of forgiveness
Yearn and passionate desire
Slumber extatic pain
Reaching my sockets loosen and fall out of place

Warmer blood with a tint of molten lava
The suns gentle surface of justice
And pools of incinerating heat
Relax and enjoy it

Alive my tombstone was lost
Solid rock and very heavy
Swerves in a collision of passion and fate
The beautiful useless mess of what I became

[I appreciate your concern, you'll always stink and burn.]-Kurt Cobain

Impressive write... vivid imagery! Seems to ride along the sharp edge of death, dying and self loathing!
