Whenever I Suffer

The Wake
I deny and questionize my being
Exhaling all the living
Pour it down the drain
I'm a rambler where near-dead herds
Take their place
Whenever they suffer
Death pays the piper
Rising and descending
Pain is neverending
Get used to deal with it
Riding on a ridge
Making excuses until I flip
Cannot flee this slow motion story
Revealing all in me
Ripping hearts in two
I'm just a puppet that can be thrown away
Whenever I suffer
Death pays the piper
Do you recognize this masterpiece?
A catastrophy in our hearts
A soft and tender work of art
A human heart
Have I felt this way before?
Last will transcripted
Glory killed
Hours marked with days
The art of suicide
By my weary side
Cannot connect these feelings
With the stoned life
Whenever I suffer
Death pays the piper
