They're All On Drugs Anyways

The scent of death in the flowers and trees
And the lasting effects of the pollinating bees
Could never destroy this occurrence of life and loss

We live our lives just to die in the end
We choose our paths with every step we take
But our decisions cease to be ours and the lurking darkness takes over
We bellow our last agonizing breath as we take the leap into the black

Forevermore

But then
Oh but when our eyes do open back up wide
We understand just how we feel inside
The dread and the longing
Oh and the shaking
The uncontrollable twitching and wishing for an ending
Our bodies become as one and we breed until the day is done

We fuck until we can not fuck
We empty ourselves of life's juices and turmoils
Licking our wounds with paddles of razor blades
Beating and beating like the war drums
On and on and on into eternity
Still we can not be

We fall like leaves to the forest floor and we are crunched into nothing under foot of the living
And then we appear as beauty to the untrained eye
And then we appear as nothing to feel or swallow
Fear the end, my friend
For it will drag you along without mercy through the pits of ash and sorrow
Feel sorry for the onlookers who observe such absurdity as meaningful beauty
But choke on your feelings as though your throat is swollen shut
The screams, oh
The god damned screams

Then open your eyes


Slide the thin metal from under your skin
Feel the darkness seep out from within
Watch your life trickle down the drain
But don't you dare feel any pain
You've but nothing to gain

The scent of death in the flowers and trees
