Hopeless

You bring the cancer in every direction.
The snake from below
Will rise up and put you down.
Down, down.
Listen, an instance today.
Death beyond reason. Dismay.
Breathing a fire free of desire.
You're leading a thieving parade.

With what angst do you lead your pursuit?
With what angst do you lead?
Back down.
What you ingest and what
You devour is only what you make it
Seek me out in your silence.
Hold your tongue or be silent
Or you forever will be hopeless in despair.

Your home is a crippled caress.
Playing, enraging detest.
Your destination beyond devastation.
Your only strength your weakness
On what grounds are you pointing your finger?
On what grounds you rebuke?

Mock. Pray.
Hurt. Pray.
Cut. Pray.
Lash. Pray.

Seek me out in your silence
Hold your tongue or be silent
Or you forever will be hopeless in despair
Hopeless in despair
Death is but a vulture preying on your flesh
Wake to the sound of your own
Voice screaming yourself out of bed
Death is but a vulture preying on your flesh
Wake to the sound of your own
Voice screaming yourself out of bed

Seek me out in your silence
Seek me out in shadows
Hold your tongue or be silent
Seek me out in your silence
Seek me out in shadows
Hold your tongue or be silent
Or you forever will be hopeless in despair
Hopeless in despair
Hopeless in despair
Hopeless in despair
