Testo Union Plague

sleeper desire
short in the wire
red myth conspires
to make lovers liars

seek our perfection
deceit of perception
the doubt of reflection a coupled infection

comfort's a bandage over the gash of the self
complacency's surrender to parasitic possession
a lifetime of ownership or a death alone
of body and mind unattainably divine
the value of beauty weighed out in flaw

solitary arrow collides
tastes itself in the bitter blood
double standard pierces the bride
splinter the marrow of love

(hollow gestures / false forms)
