Pre-Script : The rhymes in this note are based on the song "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden, my 3rd favorite song since the 90s began. Well, actually the rhymes are based on the lyrical technique used in the song, which is just writing down stuff that go together without exactly meaning anything sensical in the literal sense. Sort of like lyrical Half-A-Minute. You don't pause to think what you're going to write next and don't try to make it fit into the sense of and follow the preceding line, you just write down the first line that comes to your head that sort of rhymes with the preceding line.
I wrote 2 different parts - the first follows the song structure in that it has 2 verses and a 'refrain/chorus' and then a 2-line verse before going back to the chorus.
The 2nd part is just one verse after another.
Remember ... it's not supposed to make any crystalline sense.
I
Broken bones, melted thrones,
And the gold that was ne'er shown,
Makes me cry, smile I wry,
And my spirit slowly dies,
Lying dead, awake in bed,
My skin i just can't shed,
I hope that i will surely rise,
And build my artifice.
Scattered light, won't you blight,
And take me in your plight,
Scattered light, won't you blight
Won't you blight
Oh my plight
Scattered death, thorny wreath,
I can't breathe, I have no breath,
Times are lost, gone away,
Never to come this way.
And I hear, distant fear,
A phantom just too sheer,
Heaven knows, what I had chose,
For sure, it's not this pose.
Scattered light, won't you blight,
And take me in your plight,
Scattered light, won't you blight
Won't you blight
Oh my plight
All is lost, at what cost?
The sun is up yet melted frost
Scattered light, won't you blight,
And take me in your plight,
Scattered light, won't you blight
Won't you blight
Oh my plight.
Oh. My. Plight.

In my place, in these shoes,
Trying to walk as I may choose,
But i'm lost, can't find my way,
Hoping for yet a beautiful day,
Lying beat, battered still,
And this void I hope to fill,
Send me Lord, oh your grace,
And put a smile, upon my face
As I lay, as I frown,
And I hope to have had found
Eternal bliss, woman's kiss,
Happiness in life i miss
Buried bone, found in home,
And I pick the dewdrop stone,
Times have changed,
Times are strange, and sometimes so deranged.
Broken down, broken up,
Broken apart, I can't get up,
As I lay, dying in my sleep
I feel just like Thom's creep,
All my life, musky road,
In the rain, i lie the toad,
Wait in steed, paying heed,
And praying for what i need.
Lost and drenched, in this trench,
I can't stand this carnal stench,
I raise the gun, and cock it back
And my enemies first attack,
Now my wheels, round and round,
And I hear that fatal sound,
My friends are gone, deserted me,
Take my life and let it be.
Up above, like a dove,
Like the angels full of love,
I wanna fly, fly away,
Fly far each every day.
Kingdom come, break my home,
Steal old Michael's magic dome,
With old Leo, i will paint,
The Lord's own golden saint.
And now I'm dead, lost my head,
But tis not what I did dread.
For my life has run its length,
In death, I do feel strength.
And I did pray, each every day,
What you gave please take away,
Nought is now what I've got,
Strange, that's what I'd sought.
