I closed my eyes and
I could see for miles
the years went passing
and dreams flooded into my mind
in a rushing wind I found myself screaming
"take me away"
time and space flew away,
in retrospect I could tell
that though enjoying myself in the moment
to stay would mean to forget myself
the world around me began to bleed in pain
while we all were at each other's throats
we bled our own selves dry before we'd lift our hands to help
giving into our own vices while we jumped in screaming
"take us away"
we'd never been here before
and it should've stayed that way
'cause now we're living for ourselves
we don't care about anyone el
monologue to civilization by guttersnipe, literature
Literature
monologue to civilization
civilization as we know it is based on what we know of it. we convince ourselves to believe in lies, daily. we put ourselves into intricately created worlds that we know nothing about and expect to be running them by sundown. if we are not first, then we must strive to be until we are, nothing else is suitable, when winner takes all and only the fit are the survivors. we destroy ourselves on the inside for pleasure on the outside, and when asked why, our answer is because we require that we are the best. we put ourselves ahead by our own goals and thus hold ourselves back by our own apathy. tragedy is the only point that unifies us, because w
I sit here wondering
Why did it work out like this
Those provocative words
Strangling me.
Where were you
When I needed you to be by my side
With the ringing existing only between my ears
I sit here in silence waiting.
You're supposed to be here for me
Not just watch me crumble down
Supposed to help keep me up
But instead you spat on me.
Raining turns to hailing
Hailing words of hate
Stones thrown all around me
Piercing skin and bone
You knew they'd began to kill me
Then you watched from upon your throne.
Where will you be
When I need you right beside me
When the world has crumbled
Because of a mistake I made.
Mud splatte
I deny having to see your face
I defy being labeled a disgrace
And I try, to let the past erase
Why am I running your rat race?
Push back
Shovin' enough, have you had enough
Drop back
Realizin' that for you it's too tough
What're you in this for?
Have you got nothing else to do?
What're you in this for?
Have you got nothing left to lose?
What're you in this for?
Is there nothing you can do?
What're you in this..for?
So, I deny having to see your face
I defy, living a life that's a disgrace
I will try, to let the past erase
And I can't run your dang rat race
Attack
Thinking that you alone will be enough
Get back
Sorry, fo
A lie
Returned to haunt me
Came back from behind and stung me in the back
Feelings that I've kept from releasing I've destroyed
Not wishing to let anyone face the cruelty that is in me
But I've realized that is my fault
And so the guttersnIpe will (to these feelings) abolish them, nevermore
A factory of hate setup to wreak havoc
Pumping out the rage which plagues my mind
The disease that has corrupted my kind
My mind has opened up now and with these feelings
The guttersnIpe will kill them no more
People have distracted the eyes which are mine
Taken them off my target
To speak my mind
Taken hostage my opinions, not allowing me t
I was with you then without you
When you came back every thought I had was about you
Left again; cried a river
Once woke up late a night in bed with a shiver
And you were not there for (me) to come for me and rescue me - no
And you were not there for (me) to comfort me and protect me - no
And I wondered where you are, won't you come to me and rest with me - now
And I shiver once again will you wrap both of your arms 'round me?
Another morning without you
No trace to be found at the table, there was no you
Alone for now - and I'm hurting
I never thought that you could be so deserting
And you were not there for (me) to come for me a
jack rivers got beat with a bat
laying there stone cold; out in one swing flat
blind spot checked; now on a mat
but if you know jack rivers you can bet he'll be back
up again mouth filled with blood;
crimson came spewing, he strapped on his glove,
his thumb brushed his nose and then with full effect
smacked down his opponent, leaving his eye blue and black
fist pulled back he hit him again
this time his knuck's got stuck on his chin
a heavy sigh escaped and erupted with blood
when jack's opponent fell with a thud
no bat could touch him, nothing would work
he wiped his mouth and then showed a smirk
"you thought you could get me,
fists clenched tight, tighter than they've been before
eyes red and blood shot from the fury within.
teeth gnashing, and gums bleeding,
no smiles, no flicker of compliance.
a snort and then a shrug of the head,
spit flying from left to right
the eyes begin to glance around the room
the blue on red background almost shining out.
a cough, followed by a lunging as one's shoulder connects with another's face
and the unity therein falls to the ground.
those clenched fists begin to release for gasps of air
then slugged one..two..three, until they felt nothing but themselves breaking.
blood shooting up with each hit to the face,
and whe
Thinking back ten paces
To a time when I regret
Known a million faces
But none quite such as this
With just a drop of anger
You'd keep me awake at night
From fear and sorrow
If we'd ever have a fight
But I don't know if I could go one
Without you
..would feel my stomach churn inside
If I ever hurt you
And all this..I'd give it all for you
There's not a thing
That I wouldn't do
To keep this together for all time
Could sit and listen for hours
Without a word being said
Not a sentence spoken,
But my shoulder, where you can lay your head.
To comfort and protect
serve and trust
All these things I do
All these things for you.
