ode to 'deth
the syringe controls the marionette
this fear you feel makes you sweat
a lifestyle of no regrets
you took the plunge you lost the bet
now you wonder what comes next
can you handle this can you pass the test
a life of lies played to the chest
not even 20 years old and you've reached the crest
my life spins around me as this needle breaks the skin
good years die before me as I let the feelings all flood in
regret doesn't visit me as I push the hammer on my sin
it dawns on me, the absurdity I don't know the blood beneath my skin
you've got the bottle gripped real tight
but who's really in control
the stories that she tells you are of somebody you've never known
crashing through life's parade
on your float of misery
your surrounded but your on your own
this isn't how it's supposed to be
my life spins around me as this needle breaks the skin
good years die before me as I let the feelings all flood in
regret doesn't visit me as I pull the plunger on my sin
it dawns on me, the absurdity my life lives in this syringe
walking down this trampled road
you feel the aching in your bones
there's a monkey on your back
he lies in wait plans his attack
the pain won't stop you coming back
society broke your back
beat to death by a rock
the madness here must surely stop
I let you in you cut my skin and stole from me my next of kin
the playing field runs before me
i'm guaranteed to never win
my life spins around me as this needle breaks the skin
good years die before me as I let the feelings all flood in
regret doesn't visit me as I draw my anger on my skin
it dawns on me, the absurdity as I let the devil in
this isn't something that you need
still you fall onto your knees
hopelessness withdrawal and greed
your chance at life forever cleaved
it's a feeling you should have never known
painting a sheen over your home
I clipped your wings and set you free
to see how far you'd roam from me
my eyes lie before me as I see what I have done
feeling leaves before me I will be forever numb
my lies spill out before me as the cat cuts out my tongue
this isn't the way I planned it but now look what i've become
this fear you feel makes you sweat
a lifestyle of no regrets
you took the plunge you lost the bet
now you wonder what comes next
can you handle this can you pass the test
a life of lies played to the chest
not even 20 years old and you've reached the crest
my life spins around me as this needle breaks the skin
good years die before me as I let the feelings all flood in
regret doesn't visit me as I push the hammer on my sin
it dawns on me, the absurdity I don't know the blood beneath my skin
you've got the bottle gripped real tight
but who's really in control
the stories that she tells you are of somebody you've never known
crashing through life's parade
on your float of misery
your surrounded but your on your own
this isn't how it's supposed to be
my life spins around me as this needle breaks the skin
good years die before me as I let the feelings all flood in
regret doesn't visit me as I pull the plunger on my sin
it dawns on me, the absurdity my life lives in this syringe

This reads a lot like a song. It's very lyrical, but still preserves the genuine feelings that you're always able to express in your writing. Awesome work, once again.

yeah, I wrote it as a song so it could be interpreted differently in terms of the melody than how I intended it to flow. Will do my best to upload a spoken word for this one. Thanks for your comments mr lobovato x
