here comes the rain
the hollow ache
of an upcoming
dystopian winter
hope was slain
on the side of the
yellow brick road
any fool could
see it coming
bleeding hearts are
never meant to last
long
eventually, we harden
become these brash
bastards unraveling
whatever the fuck
progress was ever
deemed to be
eventually, that will
become a society
that eats itself
in the distance
caligula is laughing
amateurs
just a bunch of
fucking amateurs
