It takes little time to come alive
Soon finding fortune and misfortune
As we strive
All the firsts that are yet to come
The first touch, the first sound
The first walk and falling on the ground
First school, first friends
First successes and failures that never end

Moments upon moments
That make a life
Moments that some never have
Because only one moment
Is what it takes to end a life
One wrong card in their stack
One turn to end up in a wreck
Before their firsts could begin
Their ending swept in

Past all judgement
No one decides
Who can value
Firsts, seconds, thirds
Seconds upon hours upon years
Moments upon moments
That were near
Yet had no way there

Stars are blooming forth
Illuminating the vast expanse
Disclosing what was hidden
Behind sun rays

The opulence of choice
Destruction and birth
The mysteries, joys and miseries
That span
Across time and space

Omnidirectional, pulling everything
Into its graceful spinning dance
Each tune harmonizing
With a purpose effaced
Collecting all colors
That culminate time
Epitomizing the light of
Existence’s shine

Shatter me again and again
It doesn‘t hurt
When you grind me to dust
I can just ride far away on the wind
Or the maelstrom oozing
Out of your jowls like the drool
The way you look longingly for the next cut

Take this blood
Let it sizzle in the infernos
You‘ve set
I‘ve grown weary of extinguishing
Anything other than myself
Rolling disasters in the sands
Of my time

The cacophony you create
Is too loud
Too devoid of meaning
For me to remain
And tolerate the chasm inside your mind

I’d rather go down to the city
Drown myself in the cesspool
Of the depravity
One might call your soul
To expedite this deconstruction
Leave you alone in the dysfunction
Give in happily to obliteration

The places I can go
The abyss and darkness
Nowhere and nothing I know

Welcome to the journey!
On this brilliant trip
We shall traverse absurdistan
To make our way to our final destination:
Mutual annihilation

Strap in or make yourself sparse
As we begin this farce
Traveling through Shitville
To get torn apart by the storm
Until maybe we can move on?

Next pit stop is Pointless Peak
Another amalgamation of lies
Beware of your feet
Turning and turning
Running in circles, around and around
Dizzy, we finally fall off the edge

Straight into Snake Valley
Where the snake
That set us on this road
Can sneak back into the fold
To wreak more havoc
We weren’t quite sold

But now we all are
And it’s no longer that far

It’s playtime
Time for some more mud slinging
Enough slander to keep the ears ringing
Nobody want to hear reason
No matter it was never a goal
To resolve conflict at all

Almost there
At the ninth circle of hell
Hurray!
We finally made it all the way
So we can stay to play
This game of insanity
Feeding our own vanity
Forgetting the promises we break

So much destruction
So much loss
Is this what we become?
Everyone for themselves
Frozen deeper as the resentment grows
Never thought these bonds were so fragile
They’d shatter under a grain of mistrust
Or maybe the greed just cut through
The last strings keeping us together

Where shadows are conceived
And these conflicts are released
All the old wounds
The underlying pain's runes
Are crypted in scars
That brought darkness to life's arcs

Under a moonlit sky
The illusions soar high
Above the vast cliffs of mind
Where twisted thoughts wind
In the echoes of a mistake
Identity denounced at the stake
