the world is set ablaze
people walk backwards
with their stomachs flipped inside out
and gravity pulls them upwards
their feet in their mouths
the stars dangle by strings
and the sun burns itself
the moon refuses to shine
the sky is green the blue grass
we bleed from the outside
pain becomes agony black
people snorting vomit
while smiling with disgust
the rainbow is black and white
straight across the green sky
the water rolls away
down the edge of the earth
shriveled land
we stand on with sick crooked smiles
of twisted happiness
that fills our upside souls with joy
a disgusting joy
the birds rain from the air
and animals bury themselves into graves
all books are burned
history is erased memory is altered
we all have yellow eyes that cannot blink
with ears that only hear screams
we walk around in pale sickly white skin
shrunken to wrap our bones defined

this is where we're heading
