Sweet remorse

yeesul de la renta

Still green only now
Self-treacherous, twisted
Plans of sheer massacre
            masochist
knowingly nudging over the edge
happily haphazardly tumbled as before

fly high
(fly) higher
Higher than the last fall
This time I'll never stop
(this time) I'll never die

Set wheels in motion
Pulled my own cord
Hungry for sweet apocalypse
Underwhelmed as never before

Irreversible ruin!
Wrought wretched empty dry
Lame despair!
An audience for unraveling disaster
Standby as fire swallows the sky
