Delving in the deafening silence
Within these empty catacombs of my mind
Submerged in total blackness
I answer to none but the void
Silence gives way to a thousand screams
Bleak absolution
Listless thoughts of despair
Provisions of proof before me
A circle of consorts, a child's heart
And yet the grey remains
The struggle of existence
The struggle to ascend
The struggle to prosper
The burning war within
Directionless dismay
Onwards to the pale
These tribulations
Suffering within the illness
Bloodless claiming of lives
Bring these lamentations
As time goes on
We witness the passing
The fallibility of our beings
Fragility
My senior kin
Taken from this plane
Never a simple burden
A wealth of knowledge has passed
Forever lost
I stand here, washed and worn
On these forlorn shores
Clouded visions of life
Stricken with grey
Souls near and dear
Carving their own paths
Taken aback by fate
I am left to ponder what's next
Mindless
Colorless
Forlorn
Answerless
Forlorn
Motionless
Forlorn
Comfortless
Forlorn
Lifeless

The elements of complacency
Among the tireless axial planes
Humanity endures through attention
Yet the day always fades
Endless conflict for the spotlight
Trade compassion for competition
Only the few and far between
will stray away.
My soul is at rest with one
My mind is at ease with one
Veils over blissful eyes
For the shadows only lull me
The endless atrophy of this realm
The judgmental seek all
Abhorrent habits from man to man
Perpetual feats for the hearts of the weak
As the age of awareness progresses
My sight of humanity regresses
Diabolic filth, the stench of greed
Casting bright lights upon the appeased
Within the obscurity
The one consoling me
This umbra
My umbra
I will stand inside this shadow
Amongst the one who accompanies me
Commonality has only brought exhaustion
I desire to diverge
Take me to the distant lands
Only the closest to my heart shall come
Let us fade away
Fade away

Servant To The Poison

Through these mortal years
Plight never changes
The discourse of destruction
Proves no end in sight
I am riddled with guilt
For I always seek the way out
Draped in vales of fear
Turning to the toxin of man
Let me drown
Within the vessel
The ache slowly fades
Finding my own competence
Within this blight
Straying from the right path
Yet nothing can compare
Forever falling
Only the ill shall understand
The attempts of clarity
Fall ever so short
I must stop to save what's left
The grip is proven strong
Too strong
Grasping the true meaning
Of self-degradation
