Demand I reveal myself to you

Every hour of every day

Devolved indignation

Thoughts irradiated at their source

No concept

Waste your time

An endless moment

Nothing to hide

The inside of my skull is lined with grinding teeth and concrete walls

I keep on breaking out of this cycle

Just to fall back in again and repeat the lies

I can’t remember what it’s like to be alone

Divergence met with vengeance in this place locked in abysmal cold

Each victory forgotten

Each day reborn, a wheel of fate

Each failure magnified

Each night identity erased

Hear them clawing away at the outside of your mind

Corrupted shapes and forms that bleed out horror by design

Retain your sense of time

You only have yourself to thank for letting them inside

Feel the tide reverse again

Trapped inside your world as it turns inside out

Feed the external hunger

That in turn feeds back into me

Foreigner to rest, chemicals you must ingest

Don’t you see this is a test, only never-ending

To find the space to slow this frantic pace

Is a hopeless endeavor, you are trapped here forever

Reflected, redacted

See through your eyes, one of the hive

I can see the gamma waves light up your spine

Whether or not you go on, what’s yours is mine

What’s yours is mine

Each victory forgotten

Each day reborn into our hands

Each failure magnified

Each nightmare seems to never end

Hear them clawing away at the outside of your mind

Corrupted shapes and forms that bleed out horror by design

Retain your sense of time

You only have yourself to thank for letting them inside
