They Aren't All Beautiful

Maudlin Of The Well


In my eyes there is no other 
You are perfect as open'd veins 
In my eyes I see no other 
You inspire the ugliest things 

Lift me with your lifeless form 
Drag me through Love's excrement 
Caress me with cruel claws 
Bless my pen with dreams and lies 
Let me hold you in my sleep 
Let me wake and damn this art 

Every word bleeds from me 
Just like a thousand wars 
They aren't all beautiful 

See through my eyes, poetry 
Gouge my eyes with thorns 
Breathe through my lungs, softly 
I will breathe sea-water soon 

Creation isn't beautiful 
You inspire the ugliest things
