Sinking in silence the soft wombBreaking apart from the blowsHeavy and lame on this twentieth centuryPlanet of granite I've choseNothing can save meI've lost all my energyWithered and broken I lie on the bedBreathing disgust as I stare in the mirrorCursing the veins that bulge out of my headWorthless to live anymoreOne thousand deaths finally taking its tollThought you'd survive in the fireOf mind vs. body--to hell with your soulJust a host for the beast to performOld nemesis of the race he will mournVisions of him creeping under my skinHe's vivisection of life from within
