Modern Death
Can you persuade me with your knives and
Silver bullets? Cesar's X-ray, make me cold
And still, with that damn kiss that taught me how to write
When I thought all the beauty in me was dead,
You showed me that-
That it was.
We wear rage with gleaming eyes that glare out
Into the world that bought us down.
When the world hates you, you've gotta hate it back!
These souls of rage scream in the night,
Shriek out their skinless howls of grief
And all these dark, raw and blinded things
That hurl from limb to limb inside our flesh
Searching for our hearts.
Searching for our hearts.
I cut my coke with broken hearts
And rolling eyes that shake in their sockets
As the world comes falling down.
Beneath the cold sky I danced in red-hot slippers
Until my feet filled my blood
And Death was dancing with me.
When nothing was left inside me
And everything that hurts so much inside me evapourated
From my burning skin
Out of my eyes as I wept, hating that I was weeping,
Modern death, crept out of the yellow smog
With a clinical smile and a big, fat gun.
In the morning, struggling for the bus
Can't do it, can't do it.
So I throw up all the acid
And the drugs and drink and rock 'n' roll
These things that need to feed on me to live,
Like Jesus Christ, these evil things I am dying for,
Coughing with pain, I haven't eaten
Since God knows when, and I
Never thought I could feel this lonely.
These poor things scream into the darkness
Pleading for someone to love them.
Somebody. Somebody love me.
Please.
