Reflection 07:47
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 06:31
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?

Emerge 09:10
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

about

'Chrysalis' is an encapsulation and portrayal of the discontentment experienced by humanity at the current state of our planet, and the unrealized dream to redeem and appreciate, both it, and ourselves.
