the wallflower will blossom somedayfrom concrete and artificial sun raysfrom bottled water and distorted love lungs are tortured by assorted drugs may they handle what hearts can not
and for past pains may your liver rot, chained the wallflower delivered mefrom reasons to sink into a deeper sleep Lucy, mother of the ancient white lake deliver me from oceans in its white face
Molly, take me to the moonlit beach
find sanctuary, I should remove this leechare you prepared to die to feel alive?discover what lies beyond the horizonI should have drowned myself, died in bliss yes, but before I swim I’d like a final kiss from the wallflower, I tainted in blood
I find comfort in death, and comfort in love RBF, we breed plastic love and violence In a Dionysian trance I escape in silence take my filler, and walk a sandy shore into an ocean to be cleansed and reborn
