Lost and wandering



would you rather rot in eternity than fade away in life
listen to all the humans tell you what its like
their anticipation boils with the response of their liking
reality shifts and they scatter to pick up the peices
on your knees lost and crying
excuse yourself for inhabiting this energy
wandering in the fogs of natures pools
innoculously pointing your righteous finger
from below you sink the forces rip you apart
lost
decyphering lyrics from the doomed atheists tune
Where you have been the devil lurks in every shadow
insidious and comforting you roar at the sun aimless angry repute
your wings stretch out your eye culpably festers in blindness
