*howling

By Sketso



forgettable.
replaceable.
regrettable.
defaceable.
unchangeable.
effaceable.


just a child on the corner,
cold ass-plant on the curb,
a little too sane for craziness,
a little too little disturbed.

just a poser in the lineup,
a face to lead you wrong,
just enough like all the rest,
when it really was me...
                                    all along

I can lead you to the gates,
but I can't take you through;
yes I can lead you to the gates
but I can't step through with you...


...and a ring around the moon
only serves to confirm my suspicions


I can lead you to the gates,
but they're only accepting you;
yes I'll lead you to the gates,
but only to push you through.









don't cry for the patron saint
of emptiness
