One safe trip my cautions play, one less trust my feelings betray, everything before my eyes, I cannot help but despise, take my blood my lifeless vein, take my worn out spleen, take my flesh, my worthless carcass but give me back my dream, embrace the air, this chilling dissident, puppet-strings severed in one swift sentiment, lipstick stained sensual cigarette, face pressed hard against the parapet, cursed and prophesised - my sad and sorry slow demise take my blood my lifeless vein, take my worn out spleen, take my flesh my worthless carcass but give me back my dream, I have to swallow vertigo, fractured reasoning could only know if this depth of pain could lessen desire, this caustic penance I will quickly tire, the sweetest poignant compromise that I despise.
