DEADMAN if only / overkill

[dead man]

if

there's anything to say i've said it hundreds of times
Americana spirit camel crushing your spine
relapsed into a rage where nothing matters at all
throwing paint pervasive. pretty picture, voila
jackson pollock alcoholic. even atoms. Apple products
be a man and stand for something. death and taxes. that's a promise
lotus manta ray melodic. hammer-time my Padmasana
serpent in the cherry blossom. antiquate this anaconda
chronic indecision makes ingenious, it's said
look down on those who chose to make an effort instead
what a shame. so they say. so it goes, so we stay
overpaid, underwhelmed. overdeveloped. photo-framed
eau de strange. amor de Rey. kings without a disciple
surrounded by the panic. introverted and spiteful
introduce me in time. he who's taste is acquired
he who chased himself downhill with a fifth of desire
erase me so it never happened. Everclear and everlasting
ecstasy she-devil's mattress. let me in and let it happen
measure me, a slave to standard. traffic, 24th December
in a row i've let myself become a hopeless romantic
what a tragic turn of fate to see you sitting so silent
after all these streetlights violated your privacy
i want someone to write to me like i wrote to you, privately.
it's not a matter of ego. it's ego in it's entirety.
self-centricity spiral circa 1900 and 90
palace of ivory, stone madonna. statuesque the idolatry
amethyst mirror mockery. mimic mankind melodically
staring at myself until it started to talk to me.
it's something of beauty to become a recluse
driftwood in the wind i drown myself in pursuit, and
breathe myself into stasis. static habitual mind
spend a second alive then head back to where my comfort resides.
what a wonder. i wonder where the pattern begins
addicts dressed as habits every one of my friends
lays in bed, waiting to come alive. c'est a vie, to summarize
if only anybody cared enough to reply.
