| Die, die
|
| The city is filling with poison, like the air is somehow alive. |
| Hope is lost,
|
| fade away into emptiness. |
| Celebrate the steady decline
|
| Crushing the facade of all dreams
|
| I collapse from the weight of my nothingness. |
| I realize that everything fails.
|
| It bores in me; |
| I’m bored of it, aboard a ship that’s sinking and burning.
|
| My mouth fills with bile when I think of it, how the hatred consumes me alive.
|
| How many lifetimes spent in agony tearing at words that won’t rip?
|
| An image, permanent
|
| Crushing the facade of all dreams
|
| Succumb to pressure bearing down. |
| The end, exhausted, I have found that loss is
|
| a fire that always burns. |
| And with these words, I am consumed
|
| Everything is undone
|
| Let my place go absent. |
| I gasp for air and choke on fumes. |
| Rot and shit and
|
| fear and failure. |
| (One last look at it, one last breathe of it.) Fuck all this
|
| pageantry, I’ll sing no more sweet words. |
| Severed bones scream of silence.
|
| (Turn away. To the dust returned.)
|
| Crushing the facade of all dreams
|
| With every second getting closer, life’s out of hand, I’m out of reach.
|
| Gaps in this conscience growing deeper still. |
| I see no reason to push on.
|
| Hands in the shadows, pulling us down. |
| Tragedy’s vessel
|
| Solitude speaks through me
|
| This is the ending
|
| This is goodbye
|
| This ends my confidence
|
| This ends my pride
|
| This is departure
|
| This is defeat
|
| This is a reckoning
|
| I am now complete |
