Victim Driver Killer Mistress: A story told through song

Interlude: Victim Driver Killer Mistress

March 22nd, 2010

Here lie the Victim, the Driver, the Killer, and the Mistress. Forever buried in pictures. Penned into fairy tales that are always happening. Tied to everything but their lives.

There is not a service for this. Only your thoughts.

In a roundabout way
I am fine
Were it truly realistic
to understand a system from inside
I might not be entirely surprised
Overwhelmed maybe
but truth means no surprise

I turn my breath back inside
and quietly I struggle beside
a need to recognize trends
so I don't have to struggle again

You see, giving up so easy
is all part of the user agreement

Parallels to world and dominion are weak
Trials are held and verdicts found

Somewhere ushers time
Placebo comes alive
A killer climbs

Faced past environments
and climate changes V2.0
lingerie at our feet

Honey wine is sweet
It puts me at the end
and though I skipped the route
I find it was worth the journey

There is this piece of me in the way
It does not like to be moved
It is far too confident
and self conscious
and concerned
It thinks too much

So I asked what could be done to make that part stop thinking

Now I am given lessons by an unlikely teacher
with the hope that I will take what I know

The words I am given now are the words I should speak
but I communicate best when I'm alone
So all I can give you is whatever comes out

I've sat here all day
All that's produced is words
but words are what create

I hear snippets of conversation flying around various places
and I make conjecture

People do bad things
Why is this so surprising?
There can be no walk for the cure
for original sin
