"Deaf Tones"

Mellow sounds that mellow out
the melancholy meltin' out
This mental mouth is so disruptive
my ruptured lungs can't shut it down

Master puppets 'n' puppet masters
Love it so much that it never matters
whos awake in the wake of the massacre
'n' who's deaf to the tone of my passenger

Did my black eyes ever matter
Think not Its a witch hut
Burned at the stake for my
differences 'n' swift tongue

When I was young
I bonded with cold solidarity
Love felt like a charity
A burden I could barely keep

Organizin' 'n' alphabetizin'
bullshit I didn't find excitin'
or enticin' I despised it
but relied on how I disguised it

with a smile When my eyelids close
I float to bein' comatose
Goin' where the needle goes
I'm no pro at achievin' goals

Feed my grievin' soul
til it explodes into a ghost
Crazy ravin' bout a raven
like I'm Edgar Allan Poe

Spike the head that holds the skull
Cold flows through my freezin' bones
Hoes don't go for emo boys
'n' they leave that screamo s**t alone

Sneak in to decieve the throne
I'm prone to foldin' into a stone
RuneScape doomsday Hold the phone
No one warned me I'd do this on my own

Fall asleep to a xylophone
cuz it sounds like heavens telephone
Duplicate just to sell my clone
Who'd have thought I could ever make this hell a home

This is an interesting poem! Does it happen to be influenced by the band Deftones? They’re my absolute favourite.
