This infection kills everything
Tearing this world apart at the seams
There is no reasoning with disease
Pouring out blood from the inside
Swimming in this red salty sea
Everywhere surrounded by hateful phantoms
Could this have been better
Could we have changed this
Alone in the midst of this raging storm
Unable to imagine anything else living
Wishing to give this all up
And the fear pervades every waking moment
Feeling what shouldn’t be felt
Lost in this immense waste
Letting go of everything
Dying to be new
Someone else must feel this too
On some other plane of existence
Burning skin to cover it up
This could all end here
Not a tear would drop
Anger and sorrow become one entity
So dark and terrible
An inky blackness you cannot escape
Crawling across the surface
Of this entire fucking rock
This darkness isn’t natural
It comes from a mind beyond reaching
Beyond caring for tomorrow
Some may call this insanity
But what the world gives is always less
Than what has been taken
There is no spirit in this place
Living on a shell
In an empty world
A waking nightmare that happens everyday
Though someday it may end
As every time it collapses into itself more
More claustrophobic each day
As this fucking dream slides closer to oblivion
Unafraid simply enjoying the blinding light
As this darkness implodes to create new life
Perhaps this newness will be better
Or perhaps it is just one more failure
