- Symptoms

Pound,
Predatory distraction.
Pounds of
The rain some days
Is just too much to bear.
Reflecting pool dyed
A little red,
Every mirror in shades of green.
Elevation hooked on diesel
Gasoline.
Guilt symptoms over
Systematic blood loss,
Symptomatic addict,
Had it.
Time to beat the rush.
Can't pause
To flush a lone body count.
Signal flames beyond our tone.
Insist on remaining
Painfully imperfectionist.
How do we
Prefer to be put to sleep.
They offer an assortment of blades,
Cold only after the touch of a warm blanket.
Imperceptible twitching drawn toward your
Perfect imperfection.
Perfect imperfection.




Old Version (Updated Mar 9, 2004):

Predatory distraction,
Pounds of daisies
Block escape.
Pounds of the rain
Some days
Is just too much to bear.
Out of things to throw,
Burn patches on the past.
Guilt symptoms over
Systematic blood loss,
Symptomatic addict,
Had it.
Reflecting pool dyed
A little red,
Every mirror in shades of green.
Elevation hooked on diesel
Gasoline.
Time to beat the rush.
Can't pause
To flush a lone body count.
The signal flames beyond our tone.
No choice, its already been paid for.
No need, fire fights itself.
Insist on remaining
Painfully imperfectionist.
How do we
Prefer to be put to sleep.
They offer an assortment of blades,
Cold only after the touch of a warm blanket.
Imperceptible twitching drawn toward your
Perfect imperfection.
Perfect imperfection.
