’Til It Kills

Go on any further
And we will lay to waste
Precious blossoms in our haste
We ravage all of them
Desperate for the medicine
Take a salve that used to soothe
Make sure it can knock you cold
Take a gift from nature's womb
Reduce it to it's harshest form

I've learned to make it stronger
To get my fill
Concentrate it 'til it kills
How can I make it lethal
That's all I can feel
Distill it 'til it kills

Embodiment of beauty
Now we can engineer
We can extract it from the core
The calibrated traits
We skillfully can integrate
Highest grade that can be had
Most potent substance
Known to man
If there's a price on down the line
Push it out of your cluttered mind

The absolute need
Quickens in my abdomen
It kicks
Inside
Like an undead child
Urging me onward
With reflexive violence
Excruciating beat
To keep me on my quest
