Dry and clinging to the walls of my empty suspicion I crawl without moving And move towards the hollow calls of foolish lies,
Whose meat feeds my need to feel numb, Dumb and distracted, I repeatedly re-enact the play that is my life, A satire of piecemealing the whole, Living on the gratification of stealing being, Not certain of actual feeling Persisting as a pretend order amongst the chaos That permeates the holes within the hollow Constantly doubting.
Scraping and scarring the cold surface I’ve molded to seal my fading warmth Within the progressive advances of a lost purgatory unseen.
