Rejecting Obliteration
Ancient ruin Works of the old men Withering minds Unnoticed till it's too late Is our legacy a sickness? Is our legacy a sickness? An inter-generational plague It's too late A demented plight Existential decay Monotonous mortality The vespid on mass Driven into the void Or can we encourage metamorphosis? A monolith to the beauty of humanity A monolith to humanity Ancient ruin Works of the old men Withering minds Unnoticed till it's too late Losing grip Trade a goodbye for a kiss Returning the flesh we borrowеd A monolith

Echoes of indulgence Redemption on the tip of my tongue Resolve balanced on a knife edge Blurred visions of vindication I want to be amongst Nature once again To feel the warmth To feel the warmth Of panicked fascination Will you love me though I feel hopeless? I fell a long way down Absence of light Absence of light Absence of light I fell a long way down I rejected obliteration

I dare to unearth your motives My best interest at heart I'll never know if it was too much But it was too late I fled the scene, your body Drawn in white silhouette Saving my eyes from your choices Clinical white box closing in Wraith Conflicting answers To questions I never asked Your final peace The salt that stole my drowning eyes Hoisted sails without a compass As the timbre of your voices Fades into whistling leaves Your wraith gently guides These broken hands

The cicada screams from the mouth of the bird But one mustn't dwell Suffering is an essential cog Psychosomatic design has been Problematic at times Or rather a symptom Of what we are capable of Or rather a symptom Of what we are capable of Consequence of choice Breeds our empathetic void Soulless, helpless Yet beautiful and boundless A one-way trip to infinity Would you be so kind? The cicada screams from the mouth of the bird Soulless (Soulless) Helpless (Hеlpless) Soulless (Soulless) Hеlpless (Helpless) Soulless (Soulless) Helpless (Helpless) Soulless (Soulless) Helpless (Helpless)

A charm never finished Whispered from the mouth of a worm Scatter brains, scattered brains My hell is now yours For that I apologise My hell is now yours Isn't compromise fun? Isn't compromise fun? Funeral smiles And stained teeth Isn't compromise fun? Funeral smiles And stained teeth Isn't compromise fun?

Unforgiving blisters Caught in a dogfight with a tornado But then I hear the ocean The bruises don't throb like they used to For I've already lost more Than I care to remember Why must I search? I am the waves Why must I search? There is no need to stray

Maternal abuse and cower Executed upon his cheek Broken wooden spoons welting Thrashed onto his legs, face and back Violating, pretty hands stifle dreams Fraternal abuse and power Executed upon the weak Impaled black flies twitching Squashed into my ears, nose and mouth Suffocating, salty hands muffle screams Internal truce and flower Absolution, not critique Forgiving those who harmed me Protected by my strength, mind and heart Comforting, warm hands foster esteem
