Cut away and start again Cross out these serpentine eyes Milk them for all they're worth Shatter the white with jane doe hammers Slay the beast with three billion heads Through noise and movement, filth is revealed I can smell the decaying musk Stale breath reeks of lust and violence And shaking hands reveal the rest For I am nausea From you to me A new slate is needed for this cannot be cleaned Insight crawls, drunk and bruised Deep within the leaden grey But majority rules with iron fist So swallow the blood and cover the face To turn the other cheek Or cut it open and rip out the tongue For now and for this Forgiveness is rot I'd trade it all for a chance to mend To kill, to cleanse, to purge, to end Loathing saturates, sour and foul Only to be eclipsed by the sorrow To cut away those close and near Pull back the hammer and let it swing Let it swing
