Millenial Pox

Ice cold hand of your newest enemy

Smell the fear as the bodies grow sweaty

The strongest god is the deity of the petty

In the pantheon of isolated passions

He wins

For the city sings its prayers to him

With every silent prejudice

And every warm smiling bias

The sky turns heavy and humorless

We're redefining our sentience

In the golden age of loneliness

And you think you're doing it,

You're doing it, you're doing it right

And then like freshly opened eyes

Exposed to broad day light

s this feeling or convincing?

Or is my gut misleading

All control is an illusion

And all compassion is a drug

Smile on drip

Pull the goddamn plug

Long live the cult of thug, amen

I'm walking down the streets of Los Emptiness

I step over the ghost of hope still restless

And you think you're doing it

You're doing it, you're doing it right

You keep your mind tight

To keep the mood light

Don't let yourself show

Don't let the others know

It's all just pretend

My greatest friend

Is a black box

In the golden age

Of loneliness

In a world where men become demons

And women into witches

All realness is fleeting

How easily it all switches

With great overtures of friendship

That don't mean shit

When you're about to be somebody else's meal ticket

And the irony is that it feeds the leech

That keeps us out of reach

You can not teach

The broken glass on the beach

Set to lacerate

The heavy soles of fate

Just when you thought it was safe to be alone
