Rolling Dice On Dirty Streets

The darkened fractured sky is falling in Punish me and stick the needles in Penance for my excesses and sin Pleasure and pain are one and the same Sleeping with my eyes wide open Drowned in self-pity and misery The monkey on my back is broken Reveling in the disarray Burn me black so I can feel something Bluntly flay me of my deadened skin The endless sea keeps on beckoning me Fill me up and let the games begin Instantly the senses are inflamed Gratifying impulses in vain Disconnecting into emptiness And feeding constant insanity Sinking in the raging sea so high Rob me of your heart and steal my mind Scratching at the face with dirty nails Destitute and pleading to be kind This weathered highway is paved in shit If this is my path then so be it I can't stop picking at the wound Incessant thoughts laden with doom I just want to lose control Let the chaos take its toll See the madness in my eyes I am the one that I despise In this moment, I am free The stillness washes over me Peace at last when I can't see Whatever will be will be Let the voices speak their mind Judging one and all the filth of humankind Fixing to become unclean For worlds to be unseen Rolling dice on dirty streets Laying bets beneath the sheets Worthless in the eyes of God Let the devil's grip take hold
