douglas Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Fashion VictimI stood before my wardrobe today Absolutely naked Looking for something to wear And I could not find one thing That I felt like putting myself into It all suddenly seemed so ridiculous This fragile humanoid Standing Before a wooden structure Filled with sewn cloth Designed to seduce and adorn and hide And embellish the effort and culmination Of billions of years of biological evolution Such meaningless expressions of ego And consciousness and status Hanging in neat rows Upon a rail Vain constructs of a world That has come to demand and respect The flimsy material representation Of each inhabitant of the planet And I felt like running naked Into a street somewhere Screaming and mourning our loss of innocenceI yearned to just be in my skin Primal and pure Again But They would call me a lunatic And lock me up And scorn me For obeying my natural, primal impulses They The self-same victims Of their own wardrobes Quote To receive love, you have to give it...

abstrect-christ Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 A very natural piece Doug and a mutual feeling. though I wouldn't want to be running to work in my birthday suit -- it gets kind of dangerous sometimes. Quote Pinhead "Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh." Joey "I don't believe you." Pinhead "Oh come, you can hear its faint echo right now. I'm here to turn up the volume. To press the stinking face of humanity into the dark blood of its own secret heart." "There's a starving beast inside my chestplaying with me until he's boredThen, slowly burying his tusks in my fleshcrawling his way out he rips open old woundsWhen I reach for the knife placed on the bedside tableits blade reflects my determined faceto plant it in my chestand carve a hole so deep it snaps my veinsHollow me out, I want to feel empty"-- "Being Able To Feel Nothing" by Oathbreakerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBPy3xNwwL8 "Sky turns to a deeper grey the sun fades by the moon hell's come from the distant hills tortures dreams of the doomed and they pray, yet they prey and they pray, still they prey"-- "Still They Prey" by Coughhttps://soundcloud.com/relapserecords/sets/cough-still-they-pray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W. Parsley Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Number me among the ranks of the shy, Douglas. But I resonate with the innocence message. And cannot help but chuckle at your particular discovery of our overblown inhibitions and self absorption. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
