The soul that recognises an absence on the inside sends a conscious body in search Though we know, what is missing cannot be found It's lost in demons, tightly bound Fraught to fill the gap Forgotten projections bleed through these cracks What was once misplaced never finds it's way back Who was the first to leave The first to erode a frail rationality Just like the first lie An ease of indifference to a misguided lullaby A blow that resonates in the head Maybe we're all better off dead... diminishing any sense of self Broken balance Left on the shelf
