....Metallic Destiny

By SolApathy

~Be a freak like me~
Take a trip beyond the acid and PCP
Hallucinogens setting me free
Stainless steel dreams tease as the peirce into the vein
Injecting the promise of no more pain

You want to leave this reality?
Escape to the kaleidoscope of insanity
Let me speak the words
Release you from life
I’ll be your guide
To the dark places you’ve never been
In your soul, we can begin
Revealing 
Truth beyond identity
Reality
You’ve never seen before
Just how hopeless 
Burning the fire can be
I’ll trip you beyond
Insanity
Never be who you thought 
You were meant to be
Leave you in the dark
Alone 
Just a second is eternity
Tell me 
What did you see?
What are you to be?
Blood scoring the lines of your hands
Copper tones in the air
What have you done?
Lost in the fire of your desire
Dancing to the beat of a dying heart
Just the start
Love affair for the end itself
Slow dancing to the death you embrace
You have found your...place

    Nice offbeat rhyming and a very good portrayal of the infamous “wolf in sheep's clothing” of escapist addictions, be they chemical, virtual, carnal, or whatever...
