Alive

by Trisha Hanudel - Gemini

People eatne by unknown diseases
Watch the passerby with evil, knowing eyes
They know why you're alone
They can penetrate your liquid disguise

Surreal skies, burnt land, siren songs
Lead you to confusion, not confined to the mind
Quick frantic movements and desperate cries
Of losing religion and ancient crimes

Unpleasant feelings--intense burning in the brain
Beastial screams of frustration--release me
Flail about in a drug-induced fever
Nothing can clam the shredding beast within

It's tearing you away from the inside out
Never relenting until it controls your every thought
You must always carry this burden--freedom lost
Submission is key--forget those long nights you fought

You used to think that it was so easy
But the inflictor of pain doesn't care
You're dead and revenge is impossible 
Because any death is murder

Reason for writing:

    I need the wrist of Jesus Christ, my dead body cries, wasteland, warland, land of th living, speed, Measurements, going down, release of pain.
