Bleak and devoid of substance

My world feels like dissonance

My thoughts are bare and bland

My mind made blank by command

My heart grasps for spent exhilaration

Numbness repossessed all connection

Why do i remember this fantasy

I crave oblivion and it's sweet mercy

Insanity enshrouds my mentality,

night after night the great decay

Confusion shakes my mind into disarray

night after night the great decay

The mind banishes what it cannot fathom

By my own hand i withered away my kingdom

Barren and desolate is my situation

My brain drowned by dire imagination

As i downplay my misplaced vision

My failing frame has become my own prison

Time has come to free the refrain in my head

Songs of passing whispers to me soon I'll be dead

Flocked by crows my vessel shrivels in the night

to the earth it returns and sets my soul free

free of the aches of my heart once bright

I feel something else emerging in me.

My madness too great to die on my terms

it manifests into a great unknown being

I long to consume the world so firm

and to watch them all cowardly flee
