Under flickering streetlamps, tongues and soles Slapped happy paced on concrete in retreat All around the Shadows tore limbs from quaking cores Panting, sweating, exhausted, The Adam ducked by a moaning body A blue, authority stripped as he suffered in a puddle No one, he croaked Is safe The Darkness leaked from his wounds The Adam ran again before he faded into night Cars were totaled, stranded smashed and broken Exhaust still polluting from dead engines The roads in ruin littered with expensive empty things Crunching underfoot as The Adam waded weary Abandoned, the city crawled with ugly sin Black creatures feeding on human remains Plucking victims from the excess Grinding, punishing teeth gnashing Some ran, but the Onyx ones caught them eventually Junkers injected their Coal colored chaos Until the Ebony jones snakes slithered Into their hearts Seeking sanctuary, The Adam heaved a rock Through the window of a school and climbed through Scratchy glass The carvings in the board stole his sense of safety ****** nail art “It starts young, the long night” More of the Tar creatures made raging racket on the Door then and The Adam ran again Leaving the malleable minds in their stinking now-done coffins Full charge down the hall, ram head collision Teacher turned raving loon the kook grabbed Him in a vice The Evil ones had removed most of his face but his Intact eye focused, and cave shouted “The only infinity Are space and Mind, all else will Meet its time” And with that he did Sick and alone, The Adam wished to escape the pain of The outside world and spun run spirals to the roof His beating chest ached and tore, he shed tears no more and His cavity unleashed An Obsidian dragon emerged, massive and Violent upon the night The stars cried themselves to sleep as They were eclipsed by Umbra wings The beast burned the city Down while The Adam wept And drifted the darkest demons Live within, why run

Under flickering streetlamps, tongues and soles Slapped happy paced on concrete in retreat All around the Shadows tore limbs from quaking cores Panting, sweating, exhausted, The Adam ducked by a moaning body A blue, authority stripped as he suffered in a puddle No one, he croaked Is safe The Darkness leaked from his wounds The Adam ran again before he faded into night Cars were totaled, stranded smashed and broken Exhaust still polluting from dead engines The roads in ruin littered with expensive empty things Crunching underfoot as The Adam waded weary Abandoned, the city crawled with ugly sin Black creatures feeding on human remains Plucking victims from the excess Grinding, punishing teeth gnashing Some ran, but the Onyx ones caught them eventually Junkers injected their Coal colored chaos Until the Ebony jones snakes slithered Into their hearts Seeking sanctuary, The Adam heaved a rock Through the window of a school and climbed through Scratchy glass The carvings in the board stole his sense of safety ****** nail art “It starts young, the long night” More of the Tar creatures made raging racket on the Door then and The Adam ran again Leaving the malleable minds in their stinking now-done coffins Full charge down the hall, ram head collision Teacher turned raving loon the kook grabbed Him in a vice The Evil ones had removed most of his face but his Intact eye focused, and cave shouted “The only infinity Are space and Mind, all else will Meet its time” And with that he did Sick and alone, The Adam wished to escape the pain of The outside world and spun run spirals to the roof His beating chest ached and tore, he shed tears no more and His cavity unleashed An Obsidian dragon emerged, massive and Violent upon the night The stars cried themselves to sleep as They were eclipsed by Umbra wings The beast burned the city Down while The Adam wept And drifted the darkest demons Live within, why run
