What a mish-mash of shit

There isn't anything left to aspire, to cling too

Human revulsion; dirty sins put over us inside a narco-liquid-numbing haze

Beauty disappears whenever we conspire to believe others bullshit

Because we are not strong enough to fight through a torrent of delusions,

The lie seems better than the truth; it sickens me, seeing the strong fall into this obvious trap

And I am no worse in the end, with the spike in my arms--the bottle at my throat, being spoon-fed the falsity of salvation.

I am vain--I see that in the end, you'd rather not understand or learn from your mistakes. I'm just too tired to care. Give me oblivion.

You will learn finally that this is a hundred times better than being in limbo--doing nothing, telling yourself that lying is survival and that tomorrow will be a better day.

Strap an iv on me full of undaunted hypocrisy and lay me down on skid-row. This is absolution. This is where I belong.

It is infinitely better than lying to myself day-in and day-out--for that is the biggest lie, and when that comes to an end--I know it will be all right, and the mightiest truth will soak in. Give me strength, for I need cliches right now more than ever.
