Poetry The Space Between Destruction

[Noahhatesme]

Paint saturns rings
With blood from the kitchen sink
My arms will rot and decompose
My thighs will show the scars

Turn violence into stargazing
Constalations glowing scarlet
The narcoleptic screaming stops
To turn my eyes blue-violet

Tell mars i said im sorry
For the message left on read
My limbs were bound with shame
To worn down to hit send

Ill ship myelf to pluto
Freeze into crystal rubies
Nails ripped to the cuticle
Tore my veins out of my skin

No nebula to forgive me
Not a star among the vaccum
As I let every chance expire
I grab the blade once more

Reminds me of “purpose for pain” by Scott Stapp from the 2019 album the space between the shadows

Purpose for the Pain

I wait in the dark
The whisper remains
I hide, lying awake
Because I know how it ends
In circles of hell
The weight of the world
Even in my dreams
I can't escape from myself

I shut every door
But the right one
I fought the devil and he won

There's gotta be more
Cause this life is insane
Gotta turn this around
And find the purpose for pain
There's so much to lose
Yeah there's so much at stake
Gotta turn this around
And find the purpose for pain
The purpose for pain

Fell into the night
From the abyss
Screamed so many nights
Not going out like this

I shut every door
But the right one
I fought the devil and he won

There's gotta be more
Cause this life is insane
Gotta turn this around
And find the purpose for pain
There's so much to lose
Yeah there's so much at stake
Gotta turn this around
And find the purpose for pain
The purpose for pain

Yeah
There's purpose for this pain
There's a purpose for this pain
There's a purpose for pain (yeah)

There's gotta be more
Cause life is insane
Gotta turn this around
And find the purpose for pain
There's so much to lose
Yeah, there's so much at stake
Gotta turn this around
And find the purpose for pain
The purpose for pain
The purpose for pain
