    Love is the Culprit


    Ignite a fire, watch the flame
    Place both feet in, worse than broken glass
    Feel the heat burning steady, become one with the pain
    Smell the rotten perfume as flesh turns to ash

    Not far off there's a picture
    of the girl of my dreams
    and it's the only thing I have left
    I threw away all the rest
    so when you find what remains
    On the back, you will see her name

    She's standing in front of apartment 3c.
    Location: Auburntown Tennessee
    There's a tiara on her head,
    A smile on her lips, a luscious red
    She's the princess of her home
    Her beauty alone can melt your bones

    Though it's a picture you can feel the breeze
    the sunshine falling through the cracks of hidden leaves
    now look back towards the ash, can you feel the morbid scene?
    No this is not a promise, nor a treat
    Burned alive, turned to scattered mess

    A picture that had use to be mine
    now belongs only to time
    a story with pieces missing
    watch the news, stare in apathy
    wonder why things like this are happening

    Love is the culprit
    the murder weapon
    some say suicide is the Cause of Death
    some try to look into a mind of some lunatic

    But what if they could have watched
    as I had ignited the fire, watched the flame
    placed both feet in, a scream that could have broke glass
    felt the burning heat, became one with the pain
    sensed the rotten perfume as my flesh turned to ash?

    Could have used a gun
    would have been simple and fast
    but would not make a metaphor
    for the agony that lasts

    This is not a song
    This is not a poem
    This is not a thought process -
    obscured by too much wine
    It's just a lousy note -
    that some old bloke has left behind

    Investigation now, three years closed
    level of interest has overdosed
    collapsed from conspiracy
    bone and dirt in harmony

    twenty one years, almost twenty two
    I gave up on everything
    now there's nothing else to do

    Love is the culprit that can't be caught
    Insanity is too to a fault
    excessively revolt from the notion that it is not

    Awoke from this a dream
    just one curse of
    one hundred thousand other things
    that have got me stressed
    but I digress

    I'm sorry but I'm a slave
    a slave to the inevitability
    I'm sorry for the pain
    the pain that has so cursed me

    Unbirth, where's my gun?
    I'll put a bullet through my lungs
    I need to empty into this brain
    for the sake of god
    god I am my own
    god I must defeat

    Empty bullets; seized
    I'm sorry for this morbid scene
    but don't worry look
    this is the last chapter in the never ending book
    a paradox of lies
    I do not regret
    that soon I will meet my demise

    Dreams will become truth
    love is the culprit for heart abuse
    that doesn't leave behind evidence of crime
    and this is not a thought process obscured by too much wine
    it's just an idle thought
    sanity and rationality that's come to rot.

    For years I've felt decay
    and now is my chance to fade away
    but I awoke from this a dream
    and it's all so fucking disturbing
