The sinners are more worthy than the saints
When the lights fade, I feel most safe
When the low life wake
And the untrustworthy rest
That is when I can take a breath
The army marches from above
The army marches from below
It is the righteous that I trust
And the self-righteous that I fear
The war will rage on
No matter what side you choose to be on
Better to choose the side you can trust
The saints would have you believe
They are the ones whose motives are pure
While the sinners have never lied at all
You can attempt to refute this fact
But that simply shows your lack of insight
Not my lack of comprehension
The sinners are far more worthy than the saints
When the lights fade down, I feel most safe

Save Yourself
You want passion, or so you say. Without an understanding of what passion is. You want it when he kisses you, anytime both of you touch. You want it in his voice when he says: I love you so much. You want it in the look. You it in the lie he tells you when he says before you he was never in love. You want it in the way you fuck. You want passion, or so you say. But you do not know of what passion is made. Passion is the perfect storm consuming everything, including itself. It is the most destructive beautiful thing. It’s like tearing at the fabric of life one piece at a time. Until you face a whole new world. It will always be the most beautiful thing if you never see the destruction you left behind. It remains the most beautiful thing until the day the passion wanes. And you begin tearing at the fabric again. Do you still want passion? Or do you want to save yourself?
