cast your remains, not born in sin
grant us refuge, let us in
stumble, crawl back from a ruined shrine
to which no one called
the end of all we knew has gone
screaming from the crevice
the end of all we loved has gone
lungs turned to vacuum
the all-hearing ear:
"you forget your own self
"you are a stranger in this place
"but I will become your own... become your own"
carve out my bones
re form my frame
carve out my bones
re form
a passive gaze
fingers never lifted
appeal to mankind, rejected in turn

lay me down
cold black earth seeps into my skin
lay this soil
the only way we all become the same
all I create, dust in dirty water
all I see, faceless just like me
all I hear, murmurs from an empty space
all I am, a husk of life
can't escape with your identity intact
recognize the status quo, perverting the facts
can't begin to live without looking back
wasting away in this cell, complacency masked
biding my time
waiting for the moment
when I'll have the autonomy
to ease the pain
and yet it all feels so distant
turning meaningful moments
to a waste of my time
artifacts of a burning world
orbiting a burning sun
we'll all burn as well
useless echoes undone

fissure-lain
wet and grey
close your eyes
just despise it all

This Sacred Garden

once, we were so alive
we led each other to the well
washed the dirt from our hands
dreamed of what might be
I escaped the realm of this disguise
only to be trapped in another
I may learn from this mistake
only to be trapped in another
I will stay in this cabin but for a while
if only to brace for the cold
hidden deep in white hills
maybe you'll come back for me
soon I shall trudge to my demise... but tonight, we dance
soon I shall crawl to the chasm... but tonight, we dance
flickering lights illuminate a shrouded figure
an effigy to a song long past
rend this antimonument
then I might sleep in peace

Torchbearer

shepherd me towards the light
the next shining path
outstretched hands grasp a new sun
shine lost to touches of dust
I have breathed my last where the starved linger
a new path rises under weary foot
guide me through this unsacred tunnel
bear your solemn torch
I will not bow before my corpse
I will not surrender to old egos
I will tear down my last shrine
I will take the passage
heal these wounds
these scars are all deserved
burn this trail
erase these recollections
digging deep
the last living part of me
where will we
come out in the end?
prying open this cavity
blinded by the surface
may you never settle
putting out the torch
luminance surrounding
may you always want
