Burn.
November 14, 2010
Barefoot and naked
I'm treading on broken glass
and the cold wind is eating at my flesh
(but I feel no pain)
I'm walking down the path of my own destruction
(and I feel no remorse)
those lights in the distance sing of relief
but I know the truth
they will just blind me without care
just like everything and everyone else
slowly burning, gnawing, corroding
my flesh, my heart, my mind, my soul
and I stand here and smile
because I know death tells no lies
it brings sweet release and peace (just as promised)
so burn me faster
I'll laugh when i'm gone.
