1. CAVERNS OF THE MIND

Wrapped in my cloak
Breaking the shell
Enclosing my understanding

Beyond the sunset of my sickness
Eternal memories reveal themselves
Past the ocean of endless reflections

Waking coma
Muse, neglect

I am enslaved by comfort
But this forlorn state drives my will
Darkness ties the narcissistic noose
Vehemence

In times of solitude
Entering the woeful state, to sink
Walk these pale streets of falsehood
Shrouded with deceit
Silence sinking
Into the black hole of my heart
Deeper
This cold, empty void: inescapable

Smear campaign of my soul
Against the grain of time
Betrothed in sludge
The bog of apathy
Grows ever further
Amidst my being


2. REBIRTH

We are one

Born into this world of despair
Stripped of all life
Eyes have seen
Truth of the sun

Our seeds shall live in our bodies
And the buds of tomorrow
Shall blossom
In our hearts

And your fragrance
Shall be the breath
And together
We shall
Rejoice through all seasons
And in
Winter

My soul
Unchained
Futile flesh
Reborn
