Suicide Rebellion

Scale the walls of hopelessness

Lungs breath blackened tar

Abusive instinct takes control

No more hope left under darkened star

Staring down a bottomless pit

No escape, no way out

The only way through is down

Cannot speak, cannot move

Inarticulate, we drown

Failure's asexual breed

Life of swine become disease

Better and twisted inside

Worship my god of fear

Face the facts, everything dies in the end

Always brave on the outside

Smiling in the face of despair

Blood courses through constricted veins

Silent screams, gasping for air

Burning blade enters prepared skin

Crimson life flows from within

Welcoming releasing blood

Rivers deep to the desperate sea

Flow...

Yet choices made are not reversed

Persistence in the face of nothingness

Courage to endure despair

Survive, revenge, redress

Floods of blood wash nothing clean

Begin within on the path to redeem

Locking back at a beleaguered past

Something inside changed

So much time ahead

So much that can be done

Speaking words in unknown tongues

Presaging armageddon's son

Pressure building up inside

Something has no give

Vanquish all fear, nowhere to hide

Become the master, choose to live

I choose to damn well live!

Never more to be trodden down

Before noone to kneel

Heart, once frozen, trapped in ice

Now boiling molten steel!

Highest self to vindicate

All cause of doubt to eradicate

Seize control, force mental state

Seconds counting down to detonate

Return to those who would oppress

The way of advance lies through regress

Old enemies made to feel violent caress

Pay it all back with interest

At last, it seems, a return to peace

Destructive urges finally cease

There's still anger, but now it's part of me

I'll never die so easily!
