embrace the bomb

By whisperer

i can't feel you touch my mind
you see




i's already numb


take the measure of a broken man

frailty has already won


it aches in every bone, i can't go home
because home is where the heart is and i will die alone

compressed and supressed, salvage and explode erase and erode

i'm alive
bleeding tears and embracing the bomb

i suppose i could've found something else i could hold onto but i'm fresh out of trying
buying into dying seems to offer a definite return



i press my untouched body against the glass as frost outlines contact the light darkens






and a diamond tear is born



this chain of events is breaking and taking something from me


leave leaving to me alone




lost and found inside a dream that seems so fucking....





.....monochrome.....




i'll be doing this for me
don't think it won't work on you



this was made for me
i won't do it gently don't think


it will will turn on you





it never was the way we described it




uninvited

relinquished and totally devided




am i afraid of dying




doesn't it feel more right than wrong






not here but gone





time is ticking....







...and i'm embracing the bomb















-the zombie said to me "your heart like mine, is a dark decay in it's dominating endeavors. But i get to watch you destroy everything you love........and i don't have to remember"-





tick..........tock.............tick............tock


*click*









goodbye
