Our Biographies are Merely an Obituary of Barbiturates

from reverence by wolvesasprophets

lyrics

The rotten fruit remainders of a once-ripe prophecy.
unfriendly reminders of our virtue lost,
stumbling down alleyways.
Can we repudiate this claim?
This future holds nothing more than necrotic dismay.
vices will give way to an early grave
indulgence elaborately wrapped in narcotic bouquets.
an effigy to consecrate inept restraint.

the vital exploration of our cognitive landscape.

We waltz with the harlequins of excess and oblivion
dancing around ornate caskets decorated with obsidian.
Our biographies are merely an obituary of barbiturates.
Vague recollections of serotonin spent
reiterations of the individual traumas we represent.
a refusal to understand the concept of regret.
But please don’t let us all forget,
your willingness to light the way for our final ascent.

The requiem we sing is maddening,
a foreboding soliloquy of insidious atrophy
fueled by a mixture of approved amphetamines
and the instant escape found in benzodiazepines.

Mourning the absence of a betrayed artisan;
the degradation of our generation.
a victim conceived of fundamental frustration
born in folly of a misguided nation.
The caricatures of a relapsing indecency
reenact their tragic romances with lucidity.
The clockwork confines of envious insight
methodically tick to the tantrums of the crazed acolyte.

an entertaining wight
performing a series of masochistic rites
to fatefully reunite with the carousel of plight.
A masterpiece drowning in despondency
leaves us with little more than fleeting memories.
