flesh eater
It elapses
It goes by
It passes
With flies
on its rotting corpse
of its dying times
These are the days
And when the body
of today
decays
and when the body
of yesterday
is gone
we'll feel robbed
and wish we could steal them back
but the flies will have planted them
with the flesh eaters
it will be all gone
and borne from the body of yesterday
maggots
just maggots
we wish we could take it all back
the past
we wish we could have the days we've already taken
but what we don't see is how grotesque it is each day
how looking to yesterday we see the decay
we see how mundane
the minutes are knives in the back of now
the seconds are throttlings on the throat
the hours just choke
it's getting bruised getting used
today's getting murdered in its home
but no one knows and no one cares
all i can do is just stare
and watch each day as the days get harder to see
watch as i age in this ageless time
watch as wrinkles dress onto my mind
all i can do is search for what i cannot find
watch as the days go on but i cease to work
one day the flesh eaters will be borne into me
one day i'll be free
one day i'll really see
one day it won't matter
one day today won't be so far away
one day i'll touch it
one day i'll decay
one day problems won't be solved
one day i'll be absolved
one day i'll just fall
and fall
nothing else at all
catch me before i stall
it doesn't matter where it goes
it all ends up the same place
one day, you'll see me again
one day, you'll feel dread
one day, your life won't matter
and all it will mean is just a time
full of some memories kept in your head
bless you now, bless you
and deliquesce
effloresce
dispense
bless you now, bless you
coalesce
regress
bless you bless you
evanesce, deliquesce
