Love, Poverty, & Lies [11.2.08]

I saw true love die today ..
I saw it burn to death
over the course of time ..
I watched it suffocate
& cry & plead for help
But I sat there
and just watched
the smoke now fills
my lungs
I'm intoxicated
with love
And I just sat there
and watched ..
Did I try to help.?.
No .
Dollar here ..
.. dollar there
Dollar everywhere ..
Burned .
As true love died
The scent of burnt money
rises in the air
the ashes fill my lungs
I'm intoxicated with the poverty
And I just sat there
and watched ..
I sat there
and watched .
Someone called my name
from the corner
I heard it from the corner ..
However the voice was coming
from the center of the ceiling
but I heard it from the corner
And I sat there
and let the voice fill my lungs
I'm intoxicated with the lies ..
And I just sat there
and watched .
I sat there
and watched .
My face
dark from the ash & smoke
My ears ringing from the sound
My body numb from sitting
so long ..
I hold my breath and count
the seconds until I forget
that I saw
true love die today
I saw ..
true love ..
die ..
today ..
