Wrought

You with new moon eyes And I without mine Between the echoes of screams We lay here dreaming You stare back at me Holding a ball of nails While walls of fire collapse about us Roused by medulla Fear manifest in blood Sparking the primitive Imperfect and savage brain My pulsar heart Mirrors the flickering Of images and terror That haunt my sleep I saw forever unhinge her jaw And tilt back her head and swallow the sun I witnessed the violence and felt nothing And I'd do anything to feel something again I'll reflect the void if I can I'll consume the light if I can Eclipse I saw something hiding in the shadow of the moon

I curl into a ball Disappear and reemerge in another world Bending over backwards Annihilating simultaneously Whirling violently Dragging space with me Burning the void at my edges A yawning pit of need Blooming singularity I see you smeared across horizon Irretrievable information To anyone who doesn't know your every atom like I do I was a pit Empty and endless And I was feeding on the negative space You were dust Dancing in the brilliant light Floating closer About to fall in

Weak and weary Collapse Absence despite energy Dirt Dirt Grow roots Give back Give back New growth Collapse Hollow out Collapse Dirt Dirt Dirt Give back Give back My gravest mistake was that I believed that any of this would ever end

Come, Oizys. Devour me Spit my bones into eternity Mouth bitter from the negativity Gut bloated from the hollowness Teeth stained black I won't stop until I've had my fill I won't stop until I slake my thirst I am a massive chasm in the world I am a gaping wound in you A storm of negativity and unflinching doubt Pounds relentlessly on my construct of self And I don't think it's gonna hold much longer When the black tide rises up high enough To swallow me I will breathe deep And swallow back

Assembling forms Imbued with rLung And the unearthly machinery of thought Awakening void Seething with tranquility Is the way by which We'll come to know ourselves as gods You were purging light from your sunken features Projecting yourself forward To exist everywhere and nowhere at once You are just a vessel You are a shadow You are bones To be assembled And toppled You are flesh To be worked And punished You are nerves To be excited And burned out You are breath To be exhaled And forgotten

A vision reveals me In a constellation Of broken glass And gleaming metal As if the firmament Fell and shattered How long may I rest In this fossilized form If we are all made of stars Then the sky is a mirror Reflecting what's already dead and gone

We are formations of decaying bits 1's and 0's churning Weighed down by the burden of being It's meaningless And degrading And it's feeding off All our energy We must not become their mere machinery

Let the fear in Take it and shape it Mold it in your image Set it ablaze Assume your true form Arise from the ashes A man among gods Fearful and bathed in unlight You exist within the event horizon Torn apart and created So fragile and infinite So fragile and infinite An ad nauseam existence An unbearable friction Gears grinding then locking Whatever you thought this was is not Whoever you thought you were you're not You are everything and nothing A stain on the fabric of time A thought to be mocked
