The Maniacal Vale

I have a million questions, but no will to ask Through chaos, rationale speaks clearly Decay sets in amongst the fragments Such weight lies within knowledge Crippled by thought Eyes that see too much lose the will to see And the pain that spills from these walls Blasts through this withered body The circle has begun Time is not won Losing this battle to remain In this place I dare not dream For awakening the demons that will find me Blinded by madness Such endless probability And I must know every thing and every thought And I must elude when this frustration taunts And drives me to release Or travel towards end So dead inside And all but live on Burning from within Maddened eyes Filled with boiling blood Sullen Grow sharper with the pain To rest now Until we meet again

Lies a broken man Festering inside Shades of light pass through this room And remind me There was once a world Outside of this stricken maze Only instincts drive on And life Our great teacher Teaches all Passing through this fetid ship With sickened feeling of what lies within Sporadic thought, spawning its messy web of insanity Living from the heart and breath alone For emotions determine all that is lost and won here And all that is dear Taken by wind and time How many times in a lifetime must we break? And have such a need to be strong? So tired of this feeling Of fighting and living Wrought so completely with pain Nothing remains But a restless longing for death Hidden, beneath this face

Hallucinations enter the shadows... Losing the mind On this path to oblivion So much time lost in chaos As I descend Succumbed to the unfathomable Abandoned beyond all control Skulking, scraping, the barren wastes... Formless predator of the mind's domain And as its presence draws near I sense it Knowing within its pull I can be forever lost A part of me I have become

I can't control, them, but they control me The voices can't be heard. They're kept out of sight Hatred from within. Purged from the soul of me Leads me to destruction. They need my detonation Hate... Wild... Pass... Away... Death eats away from the inside Life eats away from the outside In between... in between In between... in between Void Pointless Existence... Over over over and Over over over and Over over over and Over over over and Make me see The birth of my insanity Reality A memory... My mind recoils... Push down... Push down... Push down... Break down... Break down... Break down... My mind makes things happen...

I lift my head, but there is no reason to move Time Takes from us the years we build What can be lost within a day Words may pass Time has no mercy upon truth Crushing all in its path Reason is lost here Leaving us alone with the questions This bizarre metaphoric game Unravels like some predestined curse Each player sees the charade A hapless parade of what must be But still we play So many lines Entangled amongst frantic visions Cascade this horrific journey And where does this plane take us? To escape? To lose that which makes us? Emotion never dies It only becomes distant with time Memories fade, onward towards bitter end My head it aches As yet another day unfolds Faces of anger Ironed into my skin And to pass away, knowing only silence

The walls ripple... closing in... Driven forth... transcending streams of consciousness As reason oppresses instinct Departure draws near until end That first and only certainty And cause, some random inheritor of our misguided designs Not adorned with Except for the few who dare to visit this place Never to be staid in unquestioned days But to roam free Shattering the banal conclusion Difference brings disrepute All anarchic flood of rage And fate may forsake For the journey twists as you had it planted The seeds of what is ought Misfortune lurking every crevice Of this crooked quest Frameworks Paths of truth and life Nothingness Only what we may become

Over whom does infinity hold sway? All the time has passed No future awaits Where there is no light I shall remain Never to diminish, nor comprehend The one absolute Within eternal twilight I exist Excised from the stream of time and being I wander Answers I seek To that which I cannot know You need not fear now For release shall be yours Through golden fields you may walk All knowledge flowing through you Let your pain console For escape is nigh Your blood flows, your soul is released Silentium est aureum I have come to know all Yet I know not time At your death My torment is complete Horrific realization Time demise of finality Absolutions collapse
