Title: Languid Suicide
Category: Song Lyric
Published: N/A
Date: ca. Early 2003
Airing out the corpses and skeletons from my closet
All the fumes that choke my throat so I can't breathe
Beneath the empty bottles of illicit pills and booze
There's still a singed photograph of a smiling you

(chorus)
How was I to know your lips were preforated like a sieve
That your hollow proclomations warmed many more than me
The irony of infidelity is that I intended only you
Now this drapes about my neck like a wet anxious noose

From my earliest memory I was taught to sharpen my mind
Now I toil nightly grappling for every distraction I find
This truth was far too harsh to bear illuminating light
So I drown in minor toxins weaving a languid suicide

This potential wasted blessing, the neurotic never prosper
Our disparity burns my envy, you sit so prim and proper
I know for every wealthy poet dozens starve on the street
Starving from hunger and habits that murder aches to eat

2003, song lyric, unpublished
