Lifeless and cold
Wrapped in Death’s tender embrace
Covered in sores, infested with mold
Embodiment of total disgrace
The scars of perdition
Encompass broken glass
Shards of clouded cognition
Pierce my frame en revolting masse
And create ouroboric lesions
Pain that only grows larger
Sends me further down
To a hole from which I’ll never escape
A fate well-deserved
A battle fought to its bitter end
Wounds that time should have healed
Shall remain forever open
Will I awake into eternal slumber?
Or will I remain
Ash in realms of stone icons
Which stand high above my withered frame?
Will I awake into eternal slumber?
Or will I remain
Ash in realms of stone icons
Which stand high above my withered frame?
Life’s purpose obfuscated
I’ve relinquished control
Blindfolded as I’m led
Through chasm into sheltered crypt
I’ve drowned in agony
Only to resurface
And behold the pneuma
In longing reflection
The mirror’s gaze cuts deep
Into these hypoxic veins
Only in death will I grasp
The scope of my obsolescence
This emptiness fills voids within voids
This emptiness shall remain until I’m whole
Until I’m whole again
Until I’m whole
Until I’m whole again
Until I’m whole
Until I’m whole again
Until I’m whole
Until I’m whole again
Until I’m whole
Until I’m whole again
Until I’m whole
Until I’m whole again
Until I’m whole
Collapse
As the reality sets in
That I am no longer myself
Relapse
My fortress comes crashing down
After aeons in sanctuary
Years spent numb have made me realize
That only in death will I truly feel alive
Will I awake into eternal slumber?
Or will I remain
Ash in realms of stone icons
Which stand high above my withered frame?
If this is truly the end
And there is no more to see
Release me from these shackles
Such that I may be set free
A life devoid of all purpose
One that must not continue
Shall be reduced to ash
And will never start anew
As I bid farewell
I let the last of my blood
To become no more
To, at last, feel nothing
When I transcend form
Let my memory fade to naught
As if I never existed
And despair will start to disappear
