ahhhh…
life is massive and fantastic
then those walls close in
when squeezed from four corners
body frame loses wind
down the escalator brain starts to descend
just cause pressure makes diamonds doesn't spell a happy end
your diamond may be exposed in your next life
friend
between now and then cold and dark is your kin
soul chasing soul for many millennia
bond beyond blood the kinships always been
stardust born gold rusts when human
born to live and then die – once again
the only real sin? we don't learn no lessons
your only true friend? your reflection
and if you hate what you see?
(gunshot)
dead man.
