See saw
Confined between the oceans and the sky
Bound, by hesitation, eyeing the hours fly
Both, possess a sense of mysterious rapture
Yet, a formless infinity, I crave to capture.
Strike while the iron is hot 'they' say
Settling to blister in the shade today.
Patiently waiting against my will.
White surrender or go in for the kill?
SUFFERING! the drug of choice. I wonder why?
Injecting pure bliss evasion. The ultimate high.
Of course making sure to use a sterile syringe
Wouldn't want to damage the option to 'danger' binge.
Mind over matter, matter taking over my mind
Creating illusion to avoid solution. I am Blind
Mesmerized, motionless, in this perpetual throw-around
Damaged leading the damaged, destination: south-bound.
Scorching salvation for a drip of temptation
Denying self liberation for vain decoration.
Choose to settle, settle with a choice
Dispose of empty promises, unleash the voice.
