Symptom of Decay


Knowing of the insane ending
Knowing the characters
Blowing the arc and lending
Killer instinct burns

Life reduced to an addiction's grip
On the path to prison or death
To witness so many on this death trip
Trading everything for death's breath

I watch as the decay eats away
Everything around its ugly core
I laugh even though I too pay
Everything sacred used up like a whore

Civilization ends at the street corner
And every house in-between holds mystery
The end result is witnessed by the coroner
To him it was just another broken destiny

Symptoms of decay are prevalent
All around the ones who make it evident
Soon to see the effects on me
A struggling soul in this city
