Spike my vein, deliver me from tedium

Ease this pain

Stop my mediocrity

Dust my brain

Speed the seconds faster onward

Bend the sane into something more than commonplace

I am a remnant of man

I am a torn and broken plan

I am lethargic

I am weak

I am inheritlessly meek

I am the licking of the gods

Upon your wounds while still you plod

I am the packing foam of love

I am the push that comes to shove

I am the cracking skin upon

The face of everything you long

I am the scab

I am the germ

I am what you refuse to learn

Life is slow

Slower still to one such as me

Dull and low, typical, extreme only in plain

I am a piece of withered mind

Too late, too tired to walk the line

I am a relic of this race

These humans, soon to be replaced

There has to be some something more

There must have been a simpler course

Something I simply could have forced

An easy path straight to the source

I'm sinking into bloodshot time

I'm blinded by nothing sublime

I'm gasping, buried in my dust

Tell me in which God do I trust?

I fiend on into the endless dawn of each new day

Friends have gone

So I find good comfort in this haze

I am the bloody nose of time

I am the never moving line

I am the breaking bones of life

I am the cheating in your wife

I turn the key

I break the lock

I suck the skin

I live the flock

I am the never-ending chain

I am the filth pulled from the drain

I am the cracking skin upon

The face of everything you long

I am the scab

I am the germ

I am what you refuse to learn
