Here you see a man and a hand A reflection of opposing forces What is and what should never be An unhealthy, God-awful endorsement Afflictions corrode from within Stone-fixed in self preservation A shattered temple confined Or anew flower creation To live, love and be loved Surrounded by color and contentment To be lost in the shadows The wrong side of saturation Cracked, battered, distorted and beaten Shattered a mirror that opened a window Shaped, fixed, filed and finished Broken a bond revolved around no A torn life set in stone Here lies what are us A life that should have never been Metamorphosis of Narcissus.

Metamorphosis of Narcissus
Here you see a man and a hand A reflection of opposing forces What is and what should never be An unhealthy, God-awful endorsement Afflictions corrode from within Stone-fixed in self preservation A shattered temple confined Or anew flower creation To live, love and be loved Surrounded by color and contentment To be lost in the shadows The wrong side of saturation Cracked, battered, distorted and beaten Shattered a mirror that opened a window Shaped, fixed, filed and finished Broken a bond revolved around no A torn life set in stone Here lies what are us A life that should have never been Metamorphosis of Narcissus.
Inspired by the painting: Metamorphosis of Narcissus, by: Salvador Dali.
