Palindrome Syndrome

Points for palindromes
And not much else
Your lyrics lack the poetry
That once punched through my brain
To something deeper
More real
Spiritual

I'll never sing again
No notes will ever pass my lips
Again
Up my throat
And against my chokes
Expel
More than what makes it
Past your mouth
And if we were whales
This beach
Would be sinking
Into the end
I'll never sing again

California sunshine
Drowns the salty blue
Earth(quakes)
Torn asunder
And pulled under
Brother rock
And roll lifestyles
Modern day
Atlantians with one exception:
No treasure just
Corpses

Stories you can't help
But hold
They lick the words right out of your mouth
From the forth
Reaching back
Stringing screams across steel traps
These woods are a prison
This world is a trick
If I trip
Up now
They're going to eat me alive
Don't look
Right back now
I hope they eat you alive

Digestive tracts
Lined with poison glands
Membranes ready for
Their next meal
Let me get this straight
You forgot your place
And wound up outside
Looking up
Wondering what you've done
To end up here
Well
You've dug a hole
To lie in
Sedimental blankets
The graverobbers found
Nothing of worth

Gold stars for stutters
You've choked to
Death
Doesn't mean I have to
I'm still drawing breaths
Painting possibilities you passed
Sentimentalities induce sickness
And I'm through with that
Raise your hands if you feel like you've won-

Well, my stomach feels weak.
I think that you're done.
