Gloom


Gloom is our religion
gloom is our god
gloom is what we shall feed on when everything else has a price tag

We will blame gods
we will venerate them
we will doubt their existence and excrete on them
we will run from pillar to post
to find gloom in everything

Gloom is our religion
gloom is our god
gloom is the opportunity cost for the life that we have feared to live

Our monies will lay down our identities
Plural lives we shall lead and be happy
in a cubicle, we will make and choke our dreams

Gloom is our religion
gloom is our god
gloom is the naked man on the street with a broken-toothed smile

Our carpets will make us look classy
and help us hide all our dirt 'neath
Censoring the truths shrouded by the young lady's skirt

Gloom is our religion
gloom is our god
gloom is that single bullet that you flinch from loading into your gun
