I think I lie too much

I think I don't know why.

I think maybe I do

I think this a lie.

If a Bible verse is sickening

then this might be the key.

If this is Balkan in your cup 

then we can drown out the whole sea.  

Let me grab a blade and underline those drunken statements white

How can one even tell nowadays what's worth the fight?

Didn't stop praying, 

this I swear,

until I'd woken up one day and death was everywhere I'd glare.

Just this once, 

a day that headlights and thirsty angles swallowed.

And ever since

a moment comes once every while

that I wish I'd never stuck around for the doctors and nightmares that followed.
