The Sound of Silence

Toxic beauty, please don't make me cry,
Bright colours bleed through faded
Lines, I'm fading away, fading out
To the darkest shade of black

Toxic angel, light up the skies, let me
See the beautiful acid rain, let me wash
Away all my stains of a perfect life
Remove this one cliche

Toxic love, sweep me off my feet, then spit
Me out onto the street, leave me in the icy
Rain to fix my bruised and battered knees,
Let me fix my kind of pain

Toxic disease, hold me in your clawed grasp,
Heal then relapse,  let me slowly die in wait,
Causing me to fill my life with hate, the ebb
And flow to come and go as I slowly fall

Toxic pill, use me as you pleace, I've already
Caught your damn disease. There's no going
Back, no kicking the dirty habit, no going
Home, 'cause I've got to have it

Toxic life I'd love to leave, I don't want
To try, all the meaning is a lie. I wish I
Didn't face this irony, the so called
Perfect life that really isn't pretty
