This Horror called Trail to Recognition
My perception fades
And in the darkness
A sound
Like the cry of the withering
With careful place of soul to heap
I carry my heart
To what I fear may break it
I envision....
come hallowed grounds
And the bodies that lie there
in mass and lump
fresh from hangman's noose
Their penalty's might have been mine
if I had had the nerve to reach them
in my haze
And a mighty aspiration called indifference
My gaze had I diverted skillfully
With enough success that i did not even recognise their cause
I pray with soulless conjuring
For their redemption
And for my own
Unwilling to own this duality
For self and pardoning
And only just.. ..
I stitch a blindfold
Of crushed red velvet
And monogrammed on it a J
In the prettiest blue
The color of the sky
Nowhere to be seen
in all this midnight and black
But I have loved this track
it has covered me discreetly
Like a clandestine lover
I have run to meet it
now this cry through the fog
My awareness shocked to submission
And my own body I have not touched
in such a long...
long time
tremors....
My knuckles streaked
In reds through white and terrors grip
My God relieve me
And my soul what have I done?
The cry...
It is an echo
It is my own and I feel it so deeply
Like the scarecrow
And the post he sits
I feel I might slide right off of myself
