Drinking the sorrows

Swimming in a pond of forgotten words and lost vows

Drunk as a drunkard moving slow in the city

Searching for riches

For something to show for his time

Wrapping frail hands around clean cut throats

Binding books with blood stained ribbons

Writing lost words

On pages in between

Someone somehow will expose the secrets

Pools of dripping images

The witness being you

Show them what you've seen in the scraps of tomorrow

Fragments and splashes

Deep red colored crashes

Tell them the horrors

Hold nothing back

Purge every last drop from dark lips

Draw the resounding words

Desire or repulse

Tear them from memory

Place them on the white

Drunk like a drunkard swaying slow in the night

Warn them of what's coming

Tell them through blood

Veins slashed in half

Dirty words drawn from dirty lips

Allow a narrow gap

Shallow words to pass through

Make up for your lost time

Come drunkard

Forgotten words are as lost as mine
