Once Upon A Time...

Painted smiles
and plastic skin,
Pinocchio knows
that life is within.
Patience my puppet
keep telling them lies,
for you're a real boy
and I'm just a guise.
A shell of a sorcery
long lost ago,
heart made of hexes
and burning sorrow.
Phantom fingers caress,
asphyxiate;
choke this child that threatens
to obliterate,
the machination of madness
I have created,
no longer will this
fucking future be fated.
I am taking control
and crafting a curse,
make room in hell
for a heaven-sized hearse.
Abandon your angels,
their purity stained,
unleashing ubiquitous pain
I've had chained.
Head full of heavy water
I've been drinking all these years,
combustion I've constricted
but it's time to crank these gears.
