Array ( [sid] => 122072 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => DISEASE [time] => 2006-06-21 01:07:57 [hometext] => [bodytext] => An expression of detached amusement on my face
Left to my own devices
With too much time to kill
The devil always finds work for idle hands

Completely unmoved and desensitized
I obtain my pleasures by deception
Foul and violent fantasies dwell
In some dark corner of my mind

I walk through darkness
Through fields of shrinking violets
Maintaining my tragic empire
Through a strategy of divide and rule

When one door closes another one opens
And all of them are gates to hell
So I continue my journey, safe in the knowledge
That the years to come are wasted breath

Cursed with a cruel and vicious streak
I feel compelled to step out of line
A complete and utter deviant
As guilty as sin, I stand corrected

Yet I never wanted this disease
I wish it were on the decline
So tonight I will come undone
And lay myself to rest

the very essence of indifference
and like a 'zombe'.. you put forth.. ALL your self-loathing - and greatest apathy.. as always..
I wanna wish you well but that could perhaps, be detrimental to the work..lol

your words:
(blossoms perpetual) - offering up, some bitter fruit~

painful.. brilliant
