Hollow

Release me
I can see through the hive mind
Release me
Disassemble the matrix and just let me die
Emptiness inside
Desensitized
Falsity outside
Derealized
Clarity
Pages of an open book, between the lines
Sanctity
From the clutches of enslavement, I’m cutting ties
Emptiness inside
Desensitized
Falsity outside
Derealized
An all too familiar strain
The well known sensation
Of feeling nothing
Surrendering the will
That keeps us tethered
Out of touch with what is real
This can’t last forever
Hollow, a vacuous hole
Beyond the mask, a vagabond chasing its ghost
Drown myself to sleep, intoxicating haze
Unable to collect the fragments of what I used to be
Abandoning all hope
Of a golden tomorrow
No use to make
Of the time that’s borrowed
Hollow, a vacuous hole
Beyond the mask, a vagabond chasing its ghost
Nauseating rage, my patience is all spent
Damned to waste away in a construct I detest
A formless figure, casting its shadow
A feverish cycle, an enchanting facade
Like a stone in the sea seeking the wind
Put in my place as I try and feign content
But I know one day I’ll be free It all will end
Helpless as a seer with a severed hand
With a smile I can only play pretend
But I’ll be damned when I draw my last breath
Daft illusions through a stained glass window
With a cold iron fist, take the breath from my lungs
Like a stone in the sea seeking the wind
Put in my place as I try and feign content
But I know one day I’ll be free It all will end
Helpless as a seer with a severed hand
With a smile I can only play pretend
But I’ll be damned when I draw my last breath

Indulging Night
06:40

|

Lost in illusion while the world around me sleeps
Simple distractions allow me to escape
Daydreaming on, perceive mortality
It’s so easy to fall into a world
World without consequence
Disassociate
A reality I can create
Social exchanges drain my energy
A dulling shroud, the air without a breeze
Emptiness
Even in satisfaction
Dwelling deeper, embracing the comfort of
Indulging night
Departure from repetition
Mandatory expectations
Shying away from all burden
Imprisonment of the mind
Channeling emotion, secluded in a veil
Hidden away from the echoes
Temporary liberation
Til you awake with nothing to show
Over-consumption, the hours closing in
importance separates from significance
Summon forth the willing spirit
Breaking free from reclusiveness
I want to be connected
I want to feel my pulse again
There are places I long to remember
Some I wouldn’t see again
Habitual flaws that haven’t been broken
Limits drawn from within
Turn my face away toward purgatory
Ties to the earth sever
Disconnected, I drift inside myself
How can I return from never?

Divination

Gazing upon
What can only be distilled
Through our very own eyes
Blissful serenity
Can only be obtained
Through the practice of
Imagination
The future holds no certainty
No truth is owed, no direction
Bound to the perception of reality
Chasing fulfillment, seeking means to an end
Illuminated by consciousness
Your purpose in question
Fear of never knowing what’s to be
The illusion of security
Envisioning a destination
The passing of seasons
The hands of a clock forever in motion
Numbered are the days
To grasp hold of everything so close to one’s entity
Tomorrow holds the door to the unknown
The winds ever shifting, the tides change endlessly
I stumble towards the glow that lights the soul
Journeys met through many intertwining roads
Some still yet to begin
Embracing the present, prepared for all to be in stow
Guided towards the place that lies within
Humble the spirit
Taste the morning air
To bask in the sunlight
And not be blinded by its glare
Is there ever such a single ruse as destiny
When but a single moment can shape the path regardless of integrity
And should even now be time spent irrelevant to inevitability
Not to be wasted but to lavish in the capturing of a memory

Parasite II

Hell bound in the shadow of disillusion and uncertainty
That which you take with you is sacred, a guiding light
These weathered bones have a long way still before they can sleep
How long until the wind is swept from our sails and how much still remains
Accumulation of days laid to waste
All our efforts down in a ball of flame
It’s getting harder to see
Will it be mind or body first that fails on me
Inching towards the imminent grave
Return to the place from which at first we came
Sewn in tapestry
Woven by those who suffered before ourselves
Consumed by currency, determined to make due in a cutthroat, predetermined outcome
A daily dose to keep me occupied
Dull my senses, give myself to the grind
A dragging leash towards someone else’s dream
So little say in the final scheme
And I can’t be free
Down stream are the memories
All of your time owed , all your energy
Anguish, defeat, apathy, encompassing
Foreseeing the horizon for what ought to have been
Forever in debt to a hopeless resolution
Again and again
