Clenched In Hell's Teeth

Sliding down sand dunes inside my mind
Memories erode, wash out like piss in wine
Thought fragments snag-ged on jagged lines
Tortured words mangled in ragged rhymes

Keep moving ahead she said
No looking back she said
There is only one failure for you
And that is not to be true

Half-dead ag-ed cockle soaked in liquor
Waves of lewd sounds batter its brittle cladder
Swelled, distorted quelled and spitting sulfur
Pul-sating suffocating flailing under

Keep moving ahead she said
No looking back she said
There is only one failure for you
And that is not to be true

Bobbing, treading in
The middle of an ocean
No horizon, no direction
Once I was invincible
Now the tingle is numb

Keep moving ahead she said
No looking back she said
There is only one failure for you
And that is not to be true

Frantic scrambles behind the scenes, a dream
Round-robin throbbing, random seeding
Hot sweating, getting colder, older seizing
Drenched, clenched in Hell's teeth raw and bleeding

Keep moving ahead she said
No looking back she said
There is only one failure for you
And that is not to be true

Keep moving ahead she said
No looking back she said
There is only one failure for you
And that is not to be true
