0. the irrelevant prelude
silent screams fracture dreams through silver screens
stopped beating inside minds are violent means to destroy
placid storms of soothing pain straight down the drain
living empty feeling full through the incessant rain
1. throughout
pictures puzzle and serpents unhindered
cannot the spectacle match the world?
of shattering silences and blackened depths...
a terrain undivided by the mind
surrounded by liberating armies
force the hand of the strong
to open in false honesty, stalemate
clench the hearts of the unaware
decomposition, and the stain of ignorance
2. moments
nothing is all and everyone's insane
a house of cards in the eye of chaos
swirl through though break the mists
time lurching forward rapid precision still
each holding steady within night's reprieve
temporal lobotomize monotony overrides
crash the star into the blackest dust
thrown screaming to the winds in sacrifice
enduring in its death as it was in life
3. within
beyond total comprehension
in the reaches of the infinite ordering
a statement let loose glass shards
through the planes of the inner realms
