Of Manson, choke holds, life...

It's been a whileย 
since Manson's been in my headย 
"we're killing strangers..."

it's been a whileย 
since I've felt violence unrestrainedย 
coursing through my veinsย 

it's got me thinkingย 
of my arms around his neck-
someone anyone
gripping tight with all my rageย 
a few seconds longerย 
do I have what it takesย 
a question I've never dared ask
or maybe I already have
an answer black as nightย 

I admit I have savagery in my blood
but never to prove a pointย 
not the wrath of God
or the the devil's fury
wretched self-destructive suicideย 
cloaked in violent frenzyย 
bruised fists of a fractured soul

it's been a whileย 
but my eyes scream murder silentย 
all that's kept me awayย 
from...
I'll make me payย 
clandestine mantra to my soul

It's been a while;
"We're killing strangers, we're killing strangers
We're killing strangers, so we don't kill the ones that we love"

Thank you Lisa. Not exactly a fan of Manson either but some of his songs fit my certain 'moods'. Thank you once again for reading.ย

living in our memories
