sugar and adrenaline

You look at me
like you know you're dying
you look at me
like you know you're done
your time is limited
your breath shallower every day
What is it?
What do you intend to gain
with your foolish games?
Your lines are painfully written
meant for another man
Your eyes are red and haunted
like you dream of sleep
There is no future
in your land of lust
in your melancholic folly
My eyes find you older and grayer every day
my thoughts rest on you less and less
(and not at all)
I'm so close
you probably imagine my flesh
naked and preserved for you
What are the odds
you'll make it out of this
burning house alive?
Lust is on my breath
but you'll never taste it
The fire in my eyes
you can never return
Your pain is ever-present
and what I offer is a mixture
you cannot stomach
What you need
is a new fucking life
Don't blame me
for your feelings:
lost, broken, insipid
I live my life like I'm driving
a stolen car
like I was raised on
sugar and adrenaline
What can you possibly do or say
that will impress me
Try not being an asshole
try not sulking
try to smile once in a while
What is the point
in letting the devil win?
What is life
if you live it one preconception
at a time?
I am a gamble
and you are listless, bored
I pierce the sky
while you wallow in a shaded bedroom
If you show me yours
I'll show you mine
Who taught you how
to play this game?
I'm the anger
I'm the sin
you fear living without.
