The Forest of Habituation - August 30th - 31st, 2000


caped figure stalking the streets
moonlight glowing in his eyes
people scatter
parents no longer matter
his weapon is drawn
time to accept the deathly calm

glaze-eyed creature runs in circles
scabs, bruises, and metal scraps
cover his weakened body
"Did this happen to me?!"
threatening the pharmacist
"Where is everyone..."
mammal collapses
as addiction kills his soul

frightened child tears through his mother
snaps the doctor's neck
and claws out the receptionist's eyes
the doors of public open
and he steps through
people stare
people judge
people whisper
crying on the inside, he tries to hide himself
running to his hole
he finds an angry peace
the more hate they feel
the more consumed they become
he sits near the window
and waits for his day to come

all the forces come together
rushing to express himself
before it is too late
someone open your ears
someone hear me
someone save me

free me from this prison called life 1
