Reflection

As I cut my own throat
I feel warmth for the last time
As blood runs down my chest
Symbols carved into trees
With seemingly no meaning
Scars leave a message
In the emptiest flesh
Pools that grow beneath
Fueling fires, floods, and failures
Surrounded by rodents
Waiting to be fed
Life and esteem
Red in my reflection
Grey up above me
White is my surroundings
Wonder and worry
Red in my reflection
Grey all around me
White surroundings
Blue is what I seek
Birds fall from skies
Making room for smog
A flailing distress
In a world full of mess
Looking for brightness
Only in the shadows
Praying for blight
To consume the dark
Creating light through fire from the dead
Harboring hatred
Waiting here for a savior of any
Shape or form
Shackled to old behaviors
Behind a locked door

Cradle

I felt my own weakness die
In a desert of shadows
I became the wind
In the deepest darkness
A nameless android fell
In a place of lost memories
Eating its kin
In a land where it once lived
I fell with grace
In a city filled with light
Red eyes gazing down
In a land full of distorted dreams
In a dark hole above a city
In a cradle in the sky
How long can I continue to believe
In a world laden with deceit and pain?
How long can I lie to myself
As I despair at the dark future of this world?
How long, I wonder?

Drained of life
Standing weak on the left foot
I fall deeper into smoke and soot
Inhaling smiles while the skies clear
Showing strength while I hide fear
Empty hands feed me
Hollow dreams repeating
Starving, drowning, sleepless
A shell of wasted wishes
Consume my darkness
While I eat the sun
Show me terror and blood
Wanting to watch the world fall
And rise up again
As if i would survive
The old ones above us know i wont
And so do I
Consume my darkness
While I eat the sun
Show me terror and blood
Cull the leaders
Let them rot below
Feed the vermin
Bathe in woe
They've never lived,
And they watch us die.
Our lives relinquished
Of borrowed time
Bow at the feet of your demons
A war on nothing
That would clear the skies
But those they say are above them
Looking down with black eyes
Grasping rope with no end
But I strive for something
Anything but nothing
For we feel inside us
A brighter morning
Adorned in stolen masks
The pit is warm and safe
Completion through isolation
Emerging from light
Love is the answer
To the unending question
A heart we don't beat
In a soul we haven't sold
With a mind that is free
