For I've laid myself beneath this torrid sky
In search of dreams wondering why
Dreams of days on days like nights
In ever delirium, the mind it fights

Distance gathers my soul
Burns my skin a gaping hole
Oozing like spiders scouting down the throat
Lost at sea a lonely boat

Earth I leave behind in vain
Running from this gripping pain
The tether I've severed still reeling me back
Back on track
This track of doom
From a dried up mouth runs a deafening gloom
Like a river with no current
Stangant.

Sometimes it's hard
A life like shard
Cuts me open, rips my core
It seeps in like rancid gore

And sometimes I need to be alone
In darkness
Love my only weakness
Attachment to detachment
****** fingers tracing over thirsty parchment
And then the papers that hold the truth
Bear dead fruit

Because sometimes I need to hide away from my demons
As they laugh deliriously, hauling, screeching
Hysteria! Deep deep down
And when I breathe I explode into smithereens of confusions
Trapped inside eternal delusions
