Dead Eyes Replete

Nurture the chosen one The honeypot runs thick This one will make us rich Nurture this tiny creature They'll be idolized by all That's why we're franticly pushing Before they inevitably fall We wait as tired hands prep the set Constantly hoping that the child doesn't begin to fret If they do there's no stress A quick reward will do the trick We simply can't afford another miss Between blinding lights and muttered shouts We smile to ease the atmospheric tension out Expectations are far too high To allow this feeble one the power to decide If so they'll reap consequences most divine They seem exhausted yet we push them ahead The fire in their eyes is all but dead We feed the masses their fading smiles As we wait dissatisfied in the aisles We have delivered a lackluster experience We crafted a vacant hole A life on parole Maturity achieved far in advance They never ever even stood a chance We took them for granted, we knew all along Sold the enchantment of what became their swan song The fractured one is still trapped within this life Despite having everything a person could like The emptiness remains ever present There's no remedy for the life that was spent Beware the spotlight Beware the spotlight So watch out what you wish for Beware the spotlight The omniscient gaze Can't you see remains far too bright This voided star is all that is left This vacuous idol's identity is now bereft

These twisted shards Tinkered with yet once again Shine brightly My masochistic playpen The cold steel Sends shivers down my spine I yearn for its touch This malefaction divine A few more screws and a couple of springs Will help make it more efficient As long as the experience is painful Wouldn't that just be magnificent My pain has built this shrine The wounds from last night now have started to heal The urge to pick at them is real The lubricant has been replaced I sharpen the edges to ensure efficiency Again As darkness descends I strap myself in I shake with excitement As the maliciousness Begins to slice The pain is exhilarating and keeps me awake I once went too far and that was a mistake You see the blood spilled out far too thick I could not enjoy it But somehow miraculously I reacted quick I think tomorrow it will be perfected Timeline is set and finale projected The flaps of skin pulse as I fade away I grasp onto reality as darkness turns into day I needed this experience for crying out loud Tomorrow will be better I scream and shout This sadistic ritual that I found Has me living the dream soaring amongst the clouds The vileness embraces me as I blackout finally
