Death of This Dry Season
A facade extending deception Veils lifted to conceal the destruction of the sun Conversations have come to kill inside An empty chasm, hollow and parched by the sun Organisms fade in numbers A barren land awaits a storm to replenish A touchstone will measure, this facade cannot live Death of this dry season approaches Condensation gathers up above The veils wear this exposing what's beneath Rain begins to replenish the soil Veins are full of fluid The sun once again retreats

Pinned in place Nothing you can say, nothing you can do to retreat The hammer of despair creates a new foundation A new world is introduced Phantom limbs reach for you desires... They can't be touched... A tragic loss The gift of weight drags, descending your knees to the ground Gravity is a curse, it's a relic which can't be removed Our fate is gravity, an anchor latched around our necks

Torn structure observes the chromium in view It covets the obscure reflections around it Years of mending Assets generate Objects begin to oxidize Dust gathers Reflection becomes opaque Collateralized wealth obligations Privatized gain, socialized loss Greed will self regulate Objectivist Greenspan utopia Experimental idealism gripped by power Destructive moralism Bankrupt, repressed, self alienated with guilt Nobody rings the bell at the bottom Reckless, unbalanced, fascinating man Objectivism, slavery unleashed Unlimited power, energy, wealth Feedback cycle of it's own addiction More is never enough Recast oppression self serving triumph

Call out to the desolation it will only echo your words Cursed isolation of life Corrosive introspection, seclusion With darkness to swallow the sun, and thirst to swallow the sea An empty chasm expands procuring a nauseating view Feet cling to the rotting soil, yearning to cross the gap The path to truth and freedom, or simplistic mental aesthetics Whose choice will it be? Have you seen death in life? Manipulation over over freedom Aggression replaces compassion, distorted by others' desire Control and hatred, mental exploitation Self righteous rationalization, reaction or rejection? Whose choice will it be? Who created this obstacle? Lines of conception blur Retaliate with deception An exit does not exist

Population... Tombs emboss the path Six feet of holes dug out, open to receive To bury the pages of existence Crawl inside this womb You were never meant to to leave the one you were conceived in

Dizzy, falling through the horizon of time Crimson shadows haunt the restless mind Death's embrace feels near Mind has been tricked, fear of fear Losing grip of consciousness Locked up mind, key in hand impending catastrophe, elusive stability Shattered chassis expels awareness of reality Insides exposed to corrosion Crimson shadows enter Obscuring senses... Detachment Consciousness contracts through distorted lens Cracked comfort of possessions, surroundings Death's embrace feels near Mind has been tricked, fear of fear

Stay above The sea is death To float abreast causes sacrifice The waves that clash can kill if I embrace them It must be circumvented at all costs to remain... The beauty of death still lingers
