words Jekio Blackstreak
I cannot help
these thoughts tormenting me.
PARANOIA, the sideward stare.
SUICIDAL, your reflected glare.
Take the blade and wander there.
The grass is greener atop the hill…
ABOVE THE WORLD you’re
the first to reach the light.
Burn bright.
SCARLET WHISPERS
breathing white.
Draw a line
end in sight.
Is this how you’re
gonna end your life?
BURN BURN BURN.
Is this how you’re gonna
live your life?
BURN BURN BURN.
Breathe light
let the dragon rise.
FUCK THE ASH
WE’RE COMPRISED OF PAIN.
Cooked pheasant for tea again.
BURN BURN BURN.
With clipped wings
we reach the sky.
Walls of violet
violent red haze.
Of all the laws
that the devil obeyed
I won’t be stopped
‘til I can be swayed.
Burn bright candlelight.
The naked flame ignited again
so swallow the smoke
and smother the strain.
Scarlet whispers
breathing white
How’re you gonna live your life?
