A disembodied dreamer,
Adrift of the world,
We set ourselves apart,
Forswore all we had known.
A selfish affirmation,
Made with bitter resolve,
A slave to choices made,
but not fully understood.
Something writhing beneath the skin,
A slowly warping form,
Whispering with a stolen voice,
An unvanquishable ghost,
Lingers on.
The vestiges of a life unlived,
The ruin in which we must face our sins,
We find our hopes wrought hollow,
Drawn from a poisoned well within,
We lose ourselves to sorrow,
And magnify our greatest fears.
Your voice & your voice alone,
Have Haunted me for far too long,
Whispered words with a forked tongue,
Echoing in the void beyond conscious thought.
We've thrown ourselves to sin and sorrow,
& slowly I've succumbed
Grown colder with every setting sun,
With every word unsaid,
I am no longer who I was,
A Malady resides within me,
Within the hearts of man,
A malady resides within me,
Dragging me unto the depths
You have become a burden far to great to bare,
Set upon a path leading only to despair,
The weight of this hardship a noose around my neck, tightening with every thread
(With every thread)
Let me breathe life anew, without you,
Let me be free of this ire that consumes,
Holding close the last of my hopes,
As the world burns before me,
A malady resides within me,
Within the hearts of man,
A malady resides within me,
Dragging me unto the depths.

Forlorn soul where do you roam?
With my hand upon my heart,
I relinquish all I had at the start,
Turn my back to the world I knew,
Leave all you have behind you.
All I've been yearning for,
All I've been searching for,
A way to escape what we've become,
What I have known for so long,
What has been done.
Tearing myself from you,
From your hollow heart,
Severing all ties too,
The life I had.
Corrupted by the weight of the world,
By your very presence,
A vice like grasp upon my soul,
I am reborn.
A malign influence,
Slowly drawing breath,
How much of me will be left,
In the wake of you,
A hollow form, a shade of myself,
Torn apart & put back together again,
Grasping at the edge
Of a realm without end,
Only scratching the surface,
Of the infinite.
With my hand upon my heart,
I relinquish all I had at the start,
Turn my back to the world I knew,
Leave all you have behind you.
How long ago did you,
Forsake your home?
To leave & never return,
Why did you cast aside all you once held close?
For an endless search,
Unto the unknown.
Grasping at the edge
Of a realm without end,
Only scratching the surface,
Of the infinite.

Seeking solace,
In the visions of false prophets,
As vice becomes virtue,
All we are set to be consumed & born anew.
Our dreams,
Our perception of reality,
An insidious machine,
An order beyond reason,
Subverting all we had believed.
Shaping thought,
Shaping feeling ,
Our ability to perceive
The world for what it's worth.
Sedated & degraded,
Our redemption come & gone,
Unaware of the world that awaits us.
Our fallen nature brought forth,
No more than atoms in the void,
Heralding,
A new age of the earth,
Manifesting,
The death of the soul,
Soon to be reborn.
Mankind,
Enamoured with his works,
Will come to mourn,
The loss of so much more,
The subjugation of,
Mind, body, spirit & soul,
No longer sovereign,
Over our own thoughts.
In all we've done,
We've only fallen further,
Only grown so much colder,
Many a betrayed generation,
Will come to lament,
Our need to disassociate,
From the world we have created.
Our dreams,
Our perception of reality,
An insidious machine,
An order beyond reason,
Subverting all we had believed.
Our fallen nature brought forth,
No more than atoms in the void,
Heralding,
A new age of the earth,
Our fallen nature brought forth,
No more than atoms in the void,
Manifesting,
The death of the soul,
Our fallen nature brought forth,
No more than atoms in the void,
Heralding,
A new age of the earth,
Our fallen nature brought forth,
No more than atoms in the void,
Manifesting,
The death of the soul,
