Downcast within primordial depths
Shallow breath after shallow breath
The anguish of emptiness manifest
Within a caustic web of old truths
Retreat into treachery
And succumb to the interregnum
Constructed of shadows
Strangled by thoughts
Subordinate fear
Churning inside
Gasping for release into the wilderness
In the grasp of forfeiture
The light is all but gone
Stasis lies between the vestige
And the altar upon which it rests
Stasis lies at the precipice
Transfiguration in and out of worlds and minds entrapped
Spiralling below what can be redeemed
Exhausted and adrift
Remnants of bitterness choke all life until silent
Nothing to negate this malicious blood
Yet it runs through everything
Awake to exist
Alive to expire
The anguish of emptiness manifest
Breathe, and cover scarred eyes to eclipse death
Awake to exist
Alive to expire
Eclipse death
