This is a sequal to a song i wrote about drugs called bilateral butterfly, a song which i entered into a seperate challenge earlier.

-----------------
THE CONDEMNED
-----------------

This lake of blood overflows and consumes me whole
Renders me unable to drown and enjoy sanity's safehouse
Enduring the resonance of brimstone on my decrepit lapel
Staring at the eclipse reflecting off this unseaworthy canal

I lay within this mirage, marooned, waiting the sun to show
Show up, to finish the dementing decay of my blistered corpse
Once beside me the spent shadow of a selfless midwife
Ready to set free my spawning from this tormented life.

An unconsenting passenger on The River Styx
Suckered by the nowhere of this burnt-out fix
Entangled between steel webs of falsehood and absence of day.
As I wait for this bilateral butterfly to fly down and take me away

A fevered flatliner cursed with the pain of a pulse
Unable to emancipate the condemned spirit inside
Looking upon the fabled face of forlonged eternity
With a pitchfork in one hand, the other clenching a deity

Dare we speak of such horror, for who shall pay the toll?
While the hopeless march, the fickle wait for parole.
Have we all become mute, or run out of breath?
Revealing the truth to ourselves is but life’s biggest test.

An unconsenting passenger on The River Styx
Suckered by the nowhere of this burntout fix
Entangled between steel webs of falsehood and absense of day.
As I wait for this bilateral butterfly to fly down and take me away

...But when it comes, cunningly smiles and flies away
Fades away, in the dust of majestic smokestacks.

Is it merely a conspiricy to send our ballroom bond astray?
