Quarantine

Alone In a world Of terrible softness Vague shadows Lazy faces & empty bodies Caste in the murk Impose their will From the haze Strangers disguised as friends Enemies as lovers The Over-enormous Over-dramatized Over-acted Poorly directed Sitcom of life Available in A.D.D. on HDTV In 3-D for the O.C.D. On every Fucking channel Quiet tempest Drowning the days away In fevered fervor Angst Anxiety Love Laughter Lined with razors This ladder of life The stink The sting The rapid Rabid idiocy of it all And I Can answer These eternal riddles With this solution On my tongue As it runs over the Ivory skin of her Soft, long limbs of the moon Prophets of doom Pulling me slowly In the gaping maw Theirs is an antique world Full of dusty pearls trying To quiet the bright midnight But I am rising Like a Hydra Be everyone to everyone All the time Hydra Be everyone to everyone All the time Hydra Be everything to everyone All the time Hydra Beeverythingtoeveryonebeeveryonetoeverythingbeeveryonetoanyone --- Quarantine - Otep
