Once, these bloodless veins held life
Words a thousand months
Now the wet lights speak to me
Windows glazing dark
The skeletons of faith
I draped with strips of guessing meat once
Clatter now and scratch the closet door as sleep drifts into spark
So hold these aches and pains, reminders of the fear of d**h
Of what's to come or not
The line without the punch
New worries stretch the larger portions of my doubt
And jitters come to visit I had crushed or so I thought at once
Quickening, the second that the spark of life ignites
Sickening the smell of rotting failed infinite plight
Crumbling the world within it's own self cleansing shell
Man the devil that he is and earth the breadth of heaven's hell
Numbing so the speed is blistering our whims and thoughts
Curiosity will k** the lion in our hearts
Snapping on replacement parts for ripped emotions in our souls
Comforts few and far between denials set to rake the coals
Cold, stiff, mechanics twist lifeless limbs contort to fist
Dead, dry, retracting eyes substitutions dampened cries
Caged, bound, the spark depletes
The human form is obsolete
Forced the hand of evolution
We've become our own solution
The mirror cracked at one time
Scattering our ashes far
These trillionth eyeblinks bring the phoenix ripping from it's scars
What once was pure enough to subtly corrupt the core
Of life and chain react
Explode us into nevermore
All energy turned inwards abscessed into pressured wires
Till far too tangled webs burst into flame and tears of fire
Resonance tells the tale subconscious listens in our dreams
Whispered the pathway and the smallest lie that split forever's seams
