The sweet decay

That is deadlocked through time

Saw the fall

Caught us falling and crumbling

Seen in dismay

Directionless body sans mind

I know I had forfeited mine

In failing to cross

These dividing lines old

I found this furthers failures static hold

It pulled at my wisdom

It pulled at my form

It pulled at my motion

Malnourished and deformed

It took me, gave me unto me

Unravelling, leaching me from me

Fire bound blizzard of dust

Action's last lashing a storm

Cut from my Eden

I wept blades of lonesome rust

Swept from circles

Then pulled to the floor

Here I am

Drained, defeated, and forlorn

It took me, gave me unto me

Unravelling, gave me its searing scorn

Empty I stand

Unfamiliar, a stranger is this man

Strained, I did yell my name to the plains

Strained, I did shout my name to the hills

Strained, I did scream my name to the skies

Strained, I did speak my name to the sea

I had taught myself well

For better knew he than to answer me
