My only consolation is all lies
The apex of my consequence is dying here tonight
Winter has returned and it always looks like rain
I cant remember anything...anything
Inside the absolution is to come
And appetites are bittersweet I think I'm coming home
A chance to give up Avarice has marked my one regret
The child of burning time has gone, he hasn't come back
/he hasn't come back yet...

Before I tell my story please consider who I am
I missed my window years ago, I'm doing all I can
A tragedy is commonplace but in the end they go away
A skin is still the only stain I'm left to wear in shame
And I cut my need into my heart, I tear it all apart
I beg you burn me away, I won't become your hero
just to fight the life I saved
Burn me away, I won't give up tommorow just to lose it all today

*Compliments of Corey Taylor

Nice write but it belongs in the poems forum and welcome to mingle2

They are new. They will get it. Welcome to M2.

They belong to a Mr. Corey Taylor, and thanks for the heads up (and the warm welcome), although it should probably go to a lyric forum, if there is such a thing.

Lyrics - Bastardized poetry, or creative writing...whichever, both work. Never liked Corey Tayler much, but welcome to the forum.

welcome...


(might want to mention that in the original post, that way you can't be accused of plagiarism)

Thank you, and lyrics are many things, but they are definitely both Bastardized poetry and creative writing. I can just relate to where corey's coming from, but each person hears music in a different way...

Corey Taylor is the schnizzit! I love Slipknot and Stone Sour!
