I see the road ahead and faint

God beats me unmercifully  for fainting


no wonder life sucks

if this hard-heartedness is love


it's a wonder we haven't killed each other

with this crazed kindness before now


but every time we come back into the earth

it's like we were never gone


oh wicked Veil of Forgetfulness

past sins too hard to bear?


what about what we endure in this here and now?

we can't bear this any better


and instead of aid we get the lash

the cruelty of your alleged love
