The Second Coming by ~babys1stcoffin:iconbabys1stcoffin:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Song


We live in a fucked up world
And we know it won't change

We feed our babies candied shit
Teach them to love the stench
We watch their smiles solidify
The human skin becomes a plastic mold
We learn to love misery
And happiness is as in vogue as suicide

My gods want to break loose
I feel my skin wrench around
I think I might've seen this before
Somewhere inside of my TV

I'm knocking to no answer
"Wake up" but nothing changes
We'll grow accustomed to this too
Complacence is contentment
The youth of tomorrow aren't promising
So we'll overconsume now to even it out

We live in a fucked up world
And don't want it to change

I feel so silent now
The gears turn but no results
What if I were Christ reincarnate?
You've done yourselves the greatest disservice

Author's Comments

First off, I know there's a very famous poem with the same title...I love that poem very dearly.

Second, I'm sorry if this sounds like Marilyn Manson, I wasn't listening to it at the time, but I noticed it sounds like it could've come straight out of Antichrist Superstar so I'm sorry if it sounds stolen-ish...it isn't.

So you make a mask,
A mask that hides your face,
A face that hides the pain,
A pain that eats your heart,
A heart nobody knows."
