Catch and Release

Lock and Load

Hail to the Pusher in his ignorant bliss

Whose puppets fuck one another

Instead of innocently kiss

It’s hard to tell what is for real

When you try to numb everything you feel

Are there no regrets, no remorse

To be so loose and easy

Or non chalantly, just plain nasty and sleazy

My brain goes vacant as my vision blurs

Troubled waters splashing and my speech slurs

Polluted, diluted and just plain convoluted.

Are you able to open your eyes and truly see

You are the cold piercing steel  that has a hook in me

Am I just a prize that is so easily thrown back

Like a discarded card on top of  a fixed stack

Maybe one day your muddy waters will flow free

Your tears merely shaking more salt into an endless sea

But behold my lurking shadow shall now be aglow, fluorescent and filigree
