Image for the poem BLOOD RED

BLOOD RED

Your presence is smothering me
I need to find a place to breathe once more
Upon a time, war against the
Thing in the mirror seeping through my pores

I’m constantly struggling with this addiction
This remote injected human infection
Running low on time and I am out of patience
The walls around me succumb to destruction

Paint the town red with the blood
The devil’s come home
Time to pay the price
Paint the town red with the blood
I’ve nothing left to sacrifice

It seems I’m in an uphill fight
With an enemy who cannot lose
His way when the red sun rises
This is the path I never meant to choose

I can’t seem to shake this curse, fucking affliction
Goddamn subjected Christian infestation
The sands of time won’t stop salting my incisions
Agony, misery hate fucking infusion

Paint the town red with the blood
The devil’s come home
Time to pay the price
Paint the town red with the blood
I’ve nothing left to sacrifice

A touch of midnight
Rests upon my soul
You taught me to hate
All of the things
I strive to be

I can’t help but to choke on my aspirations
When they lead me to the fall of my damnation

Paint the town red with the blood
The devil’s come home
Time to pay the price
Paint the town red with the blood
I’ve nothing left to sacrifice
