All is lost in the sea of the sun

Hey, wait just listen
I spill my words, just drink them
The poison is set my lungs they are wet
 I strain to see the definition in life
 
This poison, it lightens my souls densities
Trends of tyrants and the shores of this sea of blood in me
They are Gods own cure, yet you are lost?
I was once lost,
I once was what I could’ve been, but never again
The sand is nothing but particles, like my skin but pulled apart
But what of you, are you anything at all?
We are nothing but the cell of a body known as Earth.
 
Do you believe what God tells us, do you achieve what god wants you to?
I was once a failure, but I don’t even care anymore
My soul is a blank slate covered in the embrace of a beautiful woman
She holds me, tells me I am beautiful, makes me smile
I am in heaven
 
Tell me sins
Tell me things you never say
I dream, still
I am still one of them at heart
Welcome me to the dark
But keep me in the light

Is there logic to nonsense?
We all drift away from ourselves; it is about goddamn time I drift to you
I say, ‘I swear I lie’
 
These walls close in, temples of nothing but ideas
They are nothing but wasteful statues of dying ideas
We all fall for love, but when does love fall for us
 
I sit by and watch heaven crash into the sea
A glimpse of God,
I would let the stars and the sun collide to form the world I would like to find
We all dance in the sea of the sun
We dine the whole night through
This wine is poison; this heart a trick
This is not the world we live in, but the world we fear
We are all lost in our own chaos
We are all lost in the damn sea of every day
We reuse words and thoughts
Dreams and scores
We are not what we used to be
Faithful, devout, in love
 
I was once a young man, covered in sin
Now I still sit, once a young man
I am not much older than the one to judge
But I am a dreamer and that I shall stay

But once in a long, long, time
We all find love, we all find happiness
You found me, and I will hold you in the sea of the sun

Some brilliant stuff here, mate.

Those first two lines, for Bukowskie to dream for! Hey, wait just listen I spill my words, just drink them It follows the trends left by tyrants and the shores of the sea Well they are Gods cures to the shores, let you be lost could be good if cut down severely, maybe something like tyrants erode the shores of your sea, Well they are Gods cure for shores, if you choose to let them My soul is a blank slate covered in the embrace of a beautiful woman- magic words! Tell me sins Tell me things you don’t say I dream, still I am still one of them at heart Welcome me to the dark But keep me in the light- all works. I say I swear I lie- great line These temples well what the fuck are they doing here They are nothing but wasteful statues of dying ideas- cool! Very cheeky playing with pretentiously profound imagery We all fall for love But when does love fall for us- more gems We are all lost in our own chaos We are all lost in the damn sea of every day We reuse words and thoughts Dreams and scores We are not what we used to be- I like, but not with the following line, cheapens it. Faithful[l], devout, in love Most of the rest, you need to cut the shit out of it. You found some fine stuff in a rant, now like a good little druggy pick the pills out of the vomit and see what you can do with them, Cheers, Jess, reprehensibly irrepressible
