Needle Marks: Deconstructions EP

by The Mercy Cage

1.
It’s the same old scene this year Checking in for minor repairs Angel’s gone away, she pushed it an inch too far I’ll admit i like the way you wear your marks & scars… She screams like 1973 “I know” “I need it” Junk makes such beautiful debris Stay sane, at least you’ll leave a good looking corpse Trauma claws & pretty stains All in search of brighter pain Many voices whisper “I will end you” Still haunted by the date Nothing left to separate Keep breathing Inhale/exhale/exhale… Oh, what possesses you to try & trip this….vein? & one more time i disbelieve Choke down the pills that Chrissi gave me & try not to think of this Yet i wonder what possesses you to try & trip the vein? It scars & scars & scars & scars… Another chapter on the road to chemical divinity I Know Why need it? Three steps to co-dependency I think you’re beautiful no matter what the needle marks say Version 2.0, open up the wound & let it flow It rains down, it’s something that she could never see Raise the divine hand of withdrawal It’s just addiction after all Depress the trigger on a gun called apathy & i wonder what possesses you to try & trip this vein? It scars & scars & scars & scars… Don’t want to be late for the wake this time It’s a long drive in ever decreasing circles I’ll admit i lied to you I’ll admit i used you up inside To feed my insecurities Goodbye…
