Smile And Make Ready
With good intentions I give her
a handful of flowers in bloom
She thanks me, and I see them wither
and I smile – smile and make ready for doom
The cherries I gave her are bitter
The puppy will find its death soon
The poor girl won’t know what hit her
and I smile – smile and make ready for doom
There’s beauty in self destruction
There’s pleasure in tearing things down
Admitting I can’t fight corruption
Accepting that one day I’ll drown
The bricks I have layn this morning
will shatter before we reach noon
The young girls are widows in mourning
and I smile – smile and make ready for doom
The lives that we lead are pointless
but most are immune to gloom
and they are the ones who are mindless
and they smile – smile and make ready for doom
There’s beauty in self destruction
There’s pleasure in tearing things down
Admitting I can’t fight corruption
Accepting that one day we’ll drown
