Description God called in sick today,
and the sky is dancing.
People walked hand in hand
singing in tune with the damned.

Running without stories
β€˜this is what tragedy feels like’
dead is the new alive
but misery loves company.

Racing with the devil
one doesn't dare stop against
the lord of the damned
he laughs against the concrete.

Can one play with madness
as they dance on clouds of mind?
Heavens a lie when butterflies are flying in hurricanes
And God takes a day off.

Wasted time throwing rocks at stars
souls refuse their eternal rest
they drink a cup of galaxy for breakfast
hymn of the shameless.

Obsession is an ugly word.
When dead becomes the new alive
the devil walks the earth
and God takes a day off work.

For a moment I thought it was a reference to an A.F.I. song of the same name, nice little poem here though

I like this, though i have to agree that it doesn't really flow like poetry. I would also like to state that god has obviously tkken several days off recently. Good job!

It was more than good it was a spectacular piece of literary perfection. You should really look into making like a series of piece and getting them published in someone magazine or something.

Whooah, settle down there. It was nice to read and better than some of the stuff on this site, but 'literary perfection'? Whatever you say dude, apparently you haven't read much poetry.

lol "diehard fans". i listened to them really casually in grade 9, you don't have to be a diehard fan to know it

bluevelvetwings In reply to fourteen-hatemachine [2013-06-07 02:29:57 +0000 UTC]

Well, if you listened to them a while back, Black Sails in the Sunset could have been one of there more recent albums. Nowadays, people who 'casually' listen to AFI only really listen to Decemberunderground or Crash Love, maybe even Sing the Sorrow occasionally.

fourteen-hatemachine In reply to bluevelvetwings [2013-06-07 03:25:39 +0000 UTC]

idk if you can make that prediction for every casual listener - sing the sorrow and decunderground were already out when i was into them, so there's one exception to your postulation already

Many poems and songs have similar/the same titles. Doesn't mean anything.
