Retreat back into the skeleton trees Return into the darkness I dwell inside- The phantom wounds I swore I would never possess Narcissism worn as a crown of tragedy Blatant state of moral disrespect ages Ethical dilemmas are faltering again How I consider the spent dandelions Their seeds await winds westward turn When will God give back the delirious? Looking like a hollow fortune teller's orb Grave flowers buried beneath springtime's momentum I swing from gentle tendrils in my mind Morose-I hang among the drying corpses I think I am glitching in & out Static & repetitive; sand to the flame A burden born into a sea of glass Black mirrors reflecting & replicating All my shameful methods to keep it together fail will greatness Crash & burn like a shark obsession Apex predator squirms in my basement Like a hearse prison, I am stitching my own lips shut with barbwire Foolproof & fireproof, endure the chains of infamy; ****** mouth mumbles Crawling back into the light Eyes are blinded by Jesus Walking on ice pools like an afterglow The Devil screams for my solace & allegiance & I declare no to all of the above I sell my soul to the empire of the fate of dark waters

Dark Waters
Retreat back into the skeleton trees Return into the darkness I dwell inside- The phantom wounds I swore I would never possess Narcissism worn as a crown of tragedy Blatant state of moral disrespect ages Ethical dilemmas are faltering again How I consider the spent dandelions Their seeds await winds westward turn When will God give back the delirious? Looking like a hollow fortune teller's orb Grave flowers buried beneath springtime's momentum I swing from gentle tendrils in my mind Morose-I hang among the drying corpses I think I am glitching in & out Static & repetitive; sand to the flame A burden born into a sea of glass Black mirrors reflecting & replicating All my shameful methods to keep it together fail will greatness Crash & burn like a shark obsession Apex predator squirms in my basement Like a hearse prison, I am stitching my own lips shut with barbwire Foolproof & fireproof, endure the chains of infamy; ****** mouth mumbles Crawling back into the light Eyes are blinded by Jesus Walking on ice pools like an afterglow The Devil screams for my solace & allegiance & I declare no to all of the above I sell my soul to the empire of the fate of dark waters
