Perfect tension

Can't you see your failure
painted on every line
you could be so much more
than drunk on mental wine.

And when others seek you
will you hide your face,
would you rather feel your nails
than look upon disgrace?

So feel my anguished hunger
the spikes so deep within
so immerse in perfect tension
where all your passion ends.
