"Under the Skin"
By Trevor de Sade


Under the skin of
Aging dust
Waiting...
One day there will be hope
Happyness to be longed for
Love to be found
Lost for now...for now

Hidden away in countless trenches
Layers & layers of dust

Under & after
The halos of copper
Never to suffer
The sulfer & silver

Blessed by the memories
Blessed by the frailities
Blessed by the common worth
Of absence of individualities

Burned by static
Your thinking
Sad & stagnate
Hate me
Rip away the metal
The vinyl
The fake hate that you see
Cut out the ink
Steal my flesh if it will make you happy
But at least tell me what it's like
Not to be able to see under the skin
To see only the visage of pain & hate
That isn't there
I was brought to you love & longing
Never a violent retort
I ground my teeth into dust
Standing
Hearing
Listening to maleviolent word
Ignorant words
Used by the cruel & uncaring
What about her
What about me
Do you hate everything sir
Or just me
Does this make me special
Different than before
Different made than
The metal
The ink
The vinyl
The black
Better or worse
Evolution
EVOLUTION
EVOLUTION
UNDER THIS SKIN
SEE THE EVOLUTION
UNDER THIS SKIN
