Let us go then, you and I,

Away from dreamlands gone awry.

Cut these strings and throw those things

As a self-embodied nightmare clings.

Let us flee from yells and crashes,

Deafening music and midnight bashes

Suppressed by bass and drunken splendor;

Hand me a drink and let me forget.

Nausea, passing out, face up to the sky –

The stars are covered by lights this night.

We drown in our own wastes

Like fallen angels thrown from grace.

The heat and pressure, ears popping,

As they laugh from above and mock our mistakes.

Let’s leave the crippled, caving, crass

Cacophony of silence that is no home.

Ave Maria, say your prayers

Before falling asleep under the Father’s eye.

That Father is no father of mine,

Piercing eyes of different hue

(Ours are dark while his are blue).

Those rules need not apply to us

When no one’s there to follow them through.

Keep on going, you can do it!

There really is nothing to it!

Let us go then, wash our faces.

Set the table; say a rhyme.

A blessing, cursing the hunger inside.

Ignore the fact that beauty died.

There is no place in this desert;

A desolate island in the sun.

Pink burning, setting quickly –

It burns no more, see for your self.

We can go now, it’s safe –

They’re asleep again.
