The Argument
The devil is in the details,
The obscure logic
The creation of hunger
The soul can only disappoint,
For the strife that tongues
Have lashed to their voices
As painless nerves
Run like rivers
Coursing through the bodies of dreams,
Crashing heads against cold pavements,
This life is my disease
And how I intend to battle my mortality,
Is by signing the contract
That never seems to age
Unlike the devil that sits across from me.
