No Heart Wishes to Bleed

Driven crazed!
By possessions,
And seduced by their reflections.

In a daze!
And obssessed,
By what to feed on next!

And blazed!
By affects,
Of who has what and if it's best!

Amazed!
By the mess...
That hasn't caught their attention yet!

No idled time...
Finds a mind deep in need.
No mind demands...
What it does not see to feed.
No heart receives,
Wishes of it pieced away.
Or torn apart...
Just to have it bleed!

Driven crazed!
By possessions,
And seduced by their reflections.

In a daze!
And obssessed,
By what to feed on next!

And blazed!
By affects,
Of who has what and if it's best!

Amazed!
By the mess...
That hasn't caught their attention yet!

('No idled time...')
Driven crazed!
By possessions,
And seduced by their reflections.

('Finds a mind deep in need.')
In a daze!
And obssessed,
By what to feed on next!

('No mind demands...')
And blazed!
By affects,
Of who has what and if it's best!

('What it does not see to feed.')
Amazed!
By the mess...
That hasn't caught their attention yet!

And noooo heart...wishes,
To bleed!

Their driven crazed!
By possessions,
And seduced by their reflections.

Sit in a daze!
And obssessed,
By what to feed on next!

They are so blazed!
By affects,
Of who has what and if it's best!

Just amazed!
By the mess...
That hasn't caught their attention yet!

And noooo heart...wishes,
To bleed!
By possessions,
And seduced by their reflections.
To bleed!
And obssessed,
By what to feed on next!
To bleed!
By affects,
Of who has what and if it's best!
To bleed!
By the mess...
That hasn't caught their attention yet!
And noooo heart...wishes,
To bleed!
