Analysis of Advantages of Well-Developed Psychopathy
Remember me? Of course you do!
I'm not worthy of your voice,
not fit to lick your shoe
Silent and uninterested,
therefor stupid and insane?
Ahh . . . you arrogant types are all the same
Begging for mercy at the tip
of my brilliant blade
With such a narrow view and low I.Q.
they might call this infanticide,
but I can't resist - I've waited for this
for so long . . . my loins are electrified
I WILL NEVER DIE
LOCKED INSIDE MY MIND
FILL THE ENDLESS DAYS
RELIVING THE MOMENT I SENT YOU AWAY
When there's no one left alive to pray
for your salvation
Blood and body rested neatly in the shallow
grave I gave you
When cerebral death sets in and all the
colors flow from vision
One, save I, would find you useless
You're in perfect condition
Your death means more to me
than being alive and . . .
I WILL NEVER DIE
FIND NEW SHELLS INSTEAD
UNTIL I'VE INDLUGED IN
EACH FRESH RETRIBUTION
UNTIL I'VE ENSLAVED EACH ASSAILANT . . .
UNDEAD
I slowly curl inward
to shelter my sickness
Your eyes
take in
my life
and I'm as breathless as a satellite
Hair is vine
My branches make lines
I scratch at the skin
Bleed forth, the sap of my immortal sin
