The Human Residue

A weather weary face
Hollow, sunken eyes
Lips that cannot kiss
Diseased from deep inside.

A worn, abandoned place
A fortress made of lies
How did it come to this
One so horrified.

They'll place themselves beside you
They'll brand themselves upon you
They'll see themselves unto you
Standing in line with lust in their eyes to possess you.

With scar after scar
The things we choose to do
Please take me apart
From the human residue.

Scar after scar
The things I couldn't do
I've ruined my heart
With human residue.

A soul that's stretched and thin
A body filled with sin
The weakened voice within
Not again....no, not again.

They'll put themselves inside you
They'll force themselves onto you
They'll make themselves to be you
Waiting in line with greed in their eyes to afflict you.

With scar after scar
The things we choose to do
Please take me apart
From the human residue.

Scar after scar
The things I couldn't do
I've ruined my heart
With human residue.

I've thrown myself in misery
For the sake of normalcy
Move on, and on, and on and on
Feed the people's fallacy.

The lake of flesh, the piercing burn
More filthy than it's dirt of birth
Swim the bliss forgiveness is
From the shores of pain on Earth.

I can't hate more intense
We've impaled all continence
Objects draining objects
Collecting innocence.

A regret is all I am
And regret is all I have
If I could go through time
I pine until the end.

To touch, to know
To feel, deep inside.

To have, to love
To hold, within the tide.

To stave the thirst
To give so vast
To rule among, to share with none
To stay safe in a promise cast.

To be the first
To be the last
To be the one, the past undone
To make love under stained glass.

I cry, I die
I've cried a thousand times
I cry, I die
I've died a thousand times inside.

Scar after scar after scar is all we do
Washing our spirits away with human residue.
