Citizen Devils

Drawn closer, by heart-woven spells
endure this bitter pitch-- violent swells
of laughter, inflicting many deaths
eternity's shallow graves preserve the shadowy unrest
of what ill-dreams had spilled over into the emotional well

An honest wage
for an honest man;
e'er bound Diogenes, a slave
path reckoned by a twisting of hands
to unlock the mysteries at ends of the world

It is only by ingesting poison
that we can kill all fear--Opium
smells so sweet, as the nerve impulses
gradually weaken, dying in fading repulses
of mad scientists march, onward
unto and toward the inevitable scourge.
We must design the perfect worm...

Weakening the will
to survive,
as events tumble and spill
upon the microscopic slide--
Endeavoring truth preserves many small lies

...Fed, and bred into the apples of eve
to deliciously ignite the brain, and kill the dreams--
to be replaced by a parasitic, manic desire
for everything, in the end, goes to the fire

Such as whatever you do
doesn't really matter--unto
destiny, a course has been set
that we can never wholly reject

That which is mortal
is all that remains here,
hours before the looking-glass portal
goes dark and empty--the perfect cure.
Silence is all that is required for the show to begin

Is only clear when there is nothing left to worry about...

An honest wage
for an honest man;
e'er bound Diogenes, a slave
path reckoned by a twisting of hands
to unlock the mysteries at ends of the world

Weakening the will
to survive,
as events tumble and spill
upon the microscopic slide--
Endeavoring truth preserves many small lies

Such as whatever you do
doesn't really matter--set
as destiny, a course has been unto
that we can never wholly reject--
that we may never be divine.

That which is mortal
is all that remains here,
hours before the looking-glass portal
goes dark and empty--the perfect cure.
Silence is all that is required for the show to begin.
