Decayedmatter's "Effects"
© 2003-2004 Decayedmatter
Scared… paranoid…
Experience… brains…
Emptiness… void…
Hurt… pain…
It's all part of the thing
Everyone calls love.
It makes the heart ring,
It makes the heart throb.
This is what everyone sees,
The only thing everyone knows.
Or so it's the least
That always shows.
But every light has its darkness,
And love has its own.
Pain as emperor and tears as empress,
And sadness close by but alone.
The effects last long, very long.
Emptiness knocks and void lingers.
The effects are strong, very strong.
Sense of presence falters.
So, from there comes lesson with pain,
Experience follows closely from behind.
Plant it deep in your heart and in your brain.
Always kept in constant rewind.
Their effects take place immediately,
You become scared the more you become careful.
And then paranoia creeps defiantly,
Treacherous and subtle…
