Deus Ex Machina

No one knows my heartaches

Nor does anyone feel the blood rushing in my ears

Confusing and chaotic impulses

Leading to painful headaches


Dusty old lungs

Breathing toxic wastes

Dark, blurry eyes

Looking everywhere


Beneath all the twitching and the erratic walks

Beyond the voids and the black holes

A cloud filled with lightning

And memories of a twisted life


But with clean wrists

And a clean conscience

People don't notice

What they really ought to see


He's been unworthy

For god knows how long

"Speak your mind!"

He'll just smile and say


Nothing can save me

From the darkened eyes

Those walking shadows in the corridors

Nothing but a deus ex machina
