Crumbling rust and rain
The stains reveal the years to me
No fears come close to entropy
The slowest choking of beauty
So metaphorical the paint
And tearing paper cries
Such wettened eyes revealing
What comes to everyone in time
The cracking edges rushing in
To show the bone behind the soul
Control is far beyond all reach
I seek an answer that's not "no"
Inside my organs burning
Creeping into rotting shells
Outside this skin's surrender
To the father of the muse of hell
I will refuse the knife of time
The sickness of encroaching lines
Pushing my light into the bleak
Chasm of this snow-blind deceit
This weak frame will falter
And wither like the rotting leaves
Are we of sterner stuff than flesh
Perhaps the things that we believe?
Are we enhancing evolution
Or just spackling the faults
Expectancy is such a focus
Blind to windows for the walls
Forever calls me
Is it teasing or sincere?
On one hand of time is bliss
But on the other hand eternal fear
So as the light lies fading
And eyelids turn to lead
We'll never know what is or isn't
Waiting for us till we're
