Drowning

The water is at your neck
My words around your throat
Dragging you into an abyss
A sucking black vortex of sympathy and blame

The water is in your lungs
You're choking on rhetoric
I'm gagging from the stench
One foot on the high moral ground, the other on your head

The water runs from my eyes
I just want you to see things my way
But it's dark
And the sun isn't rising any time soon

Nuclear Summer

*Lyrics to a new MC:LC song; this one is about two atomic bombs falling in love*

I can see how this is going to end
Please don't stop me, I still want to pretend
The damage done when I fell for you
From up above the city
And I still think I can hear your voice
Among the radio-activity

But when you're away, you know it's tearing me apart
This life is radiation sickness for my heart

The fallout from that nuclear summer
Has turned my world to ash
Couldn't find the courage to ask you
Our time went by much too fast
Atoms collide, time flies by
You're allways in my heart
Can't wait untill the next atomic age
When you take me into your nuclear arms

When we meet again, I hope that you'll be proud
Of the way my heart is shaped like a mushroom cloud

Nuclear Summer

deathbridge

a road, slick and shiny
an accident waiting to happen
hot breathe racing down into the coulees- folding over and over and over
strength leaving replaced by complacence

Blind Faith

Three wronged
Knives drawn
Cut someone
Deep

Must choose
Gun drawn
Sights trained
Squeeze...

Shot fired
Target hit
Bulb smashed
Mistake

Dark room
Target quiet
Guilt grips
To me

Breathe hard
Step forward
Pain erupts
beneath

Glass shards
Dig hard
Crunch into
My feet
