New Vein Old Hope (Naga Uta)

New vein old hope gone

White teeth greedy hungry now

Blue-hot surging blood

Slurring words scream silent red

Needle falls to floor

Rolling back eyes deadened

Rapture hidden hell

Shivering there’s no relief

More must have more will

Body quaking vanishing

Sirens blare distant

Lumbering to jellied feet

To door struggle stand

Money must have get some none

Kill steal sell sex beg

Vein scar puncture shudder yes

Liquid molten dream

Ambulance and body bag

Blankly staring in the dark.
