The numbed mind releases pure thought of logic and pride
Skin crawling with a legion of pinpricks underneath the flesh
A sudden stiffening leaves all feeling blocked
Silent screams from the gaze of dead and colorless eyes
Tears drip down the side of a barely beating heart
Pumping nauseous thought throughout the veins
Inching across every piece of exhausted body
Twitching fingertips that reach out for no one
Everything that is, being poured into the bottomless gap
All energy drained, an empty vessel
Treading the scorched fields that once burned with passion
Cracked and riddled, no will to go on
Mind racing while limbs crawl at the slowest pace
Skeletal hands holding the beating heart
Their cold touch freezing all within
Rain pelting holes through tender remains of the strong man
Cold steel of knives protruding from the back
Grinding against the spine slowly cutting away cerebral ties
The anchor risen from a sinking ship as the tide pulls it under
Drowning in a rapid current of emotion and doubt
Darkness enveloping all rationality, a cocoon of deep piercing spikes
Ever closer to the edge of the windy cliff, threatening to push just enough
Falling through time and space back to innocence and freedom
A black and white picture, familiar faces with unfamiliar smiles
Things lost as age withered away all youthfulness
Scroll of film burned by the dying projector
Life flashed before dead eyes
Black accompanied by the last few beats
Echoing the cries that go unheard
Until the last beat sounds into deaf nothingness
Life ceased as time races forward
Sleep with eyes forced open to watch as the end approaches
The colossal climax of the wilting world
Behold, Destruction.
