Moving slowly, won't comprimise. Severed, but I still won't bleed. I need my voice to crack and peel away the front. This is my immaculate suicide. These memories may burn, but the ash will not fall. I will not forsake what we have fought for, crossed lines for, and died for.

I'm trapped inside your failures. You expect idols to be molded in your form, but these pictures will only burn at your every word.

This acid burns my cheeks and it's so hard to swallow when the tables have turned. I sleep on nothing because you've stolen the walls I hid behind.

Art comes in many forms, and my throat shows my aggressions.

Art comes in many forms, and my throat relieves my aggressions.

Re: Peeling the Dead Skin (User Rating: 1 ) by bobotheclown on Monday, 27th December 2004 @ 10:53:51 PM AEST (User Info | Send a Message) I'm not in a band but I can still relate to this music takes away my aggression and my frustration if only for a little while. Anyway, this was a beautifully well written piece I loved it and the imagery was amazing. Bobo (Joel)
