Smoke and Dust

How could such beautiful words emerge from such vile thoughts?

In an absence of light and sound, I rush through dark tunnels seeking sick thrills

Holding back, holding back I can't do it anymore voices, voices

I love her, I love her more than you could imagine.

But betrayal. Betrayal and hate.

Betrayal and hate and lies and promises

Misguided attempts at redemption from the emptiness that I'm falling into

Where is the fire escape?

Because all the exits seem to be blocked.

I'm trapped inside my own mind

Starving, I can only gnaw away at my own thoughts

But when you only feed on smoke and dust

You too become smoke and dust
