Mankind



From flies to cries, your eyes will be closed
Transposed unknowns made solitary foes out of
Green and red pinks
The blinks of her lashes sink and fists are over-rated illusions
Of the might he did think
Hypnotic circles around misinterpreted truths
The reality I knew I know was just foolish
May-bread love of the dying sky
Transition your mind to a new definition of time!

The flaws of mankind are evident now
Mission to the moon ends is a space-age jail cell
Terminal grip on gravitation pulls
The beauty of mankind is drinking my pulse

When wisdom left in hostile abandonment
Fans of sin laughed away scandalous
Accusations of ascending feelings of aggression
Settled in a cave next to the ocean's shimmering blessings
Wash away wishes and watch as life lives itself
Keep your heart sacred and never succumb to
Anyone else’s beliefs on hell
Believe what you want and do what you will but don't expect everything
To work out so well
Cities burn and the air will bleed
Need was forgotten in the breath of lust and greed
Window reflections of the taste of torn thoughts
We'll wallow in the flesh of ourselves then depart.

The flaws of mankind are evident now
Mission to the moon ends is a space-age jail cell
Terminal grip on gravitation pulls
The beauty of mankind is drinking my pulse.
