Human Dust

by Deterior

/
1.
drawing the same lines in the sand writing the same words in the dirt I'm digging deeper down filling these with rotten soil I'm sinking to this level where nothing can see me rays refracted through the sum of tired hands falling straight through the ocean's glass no strength no will no doubt no prey I've walked down this same road too many times enough to know there's nothing at the end running backwards...
2.
bring the deluge these dark waters rise a torrent of human hate come to judge the weak take this path to end all suffering see the wrath of one omnicidal this salvation so pure this unholy baptismal song these tides are breaking these oceans tear you down my blood—break this covenant my bond—blinded by fury my word—spun from nothing my sin—yet to be shed a new way in this world a place to call his own we tore our throats for you we sank into our hell we tore our throats for all we have but this to show...

Epicycle 06:23
these orbs spin in endless waltz, a terrifying scale throwing myself into the sun, they called it wisdom be my guide promise me close your eyes fade to black when one reckless moment changes everything staring into this endless rotting abyss standing on this astral stair black blood pours over muttering sacred words all consciousness gone chained to this dank cavern an eternally seething shrine...

I look out on a landscape of all that could never be I look in to what madness will always consume me I should have left this world long ago I should have emptied my mind on this sunless ground when we beat our tiny fists when we erase our own sanity when we scream into the sky when ruin is no longer enough...

Human Dust 07:57
when the bombs fall, there will be no mercy—only human dust...
7.
let the frame of this construct collapse let the remains be forgotten let the leaves blanket this earth let her memory be lost you said "don't leave me" then you were gone we drove through fertile fields we walked through living streets we grasped this limb of the living sun I want to bring you down I want this made standing by your grave I remember how I became like you staring into this void I remember I will live forever...
