ADistortedUtopia

My eyelids prised apart And yet all is not as it seems What is this place? Who are these fiends I cannot see? This flesh is unfamiliar It does not feel like home The touch is not as I recall My mind ajar; reality is torn I have passed on Beyond the realms I believed defined Yet why is it I still breathe? The mirror shows me something I cannot unsee An unfamiliar reflection A face that is not my own I touch the lips, the nose the mouth The stranger in the glass mimics and obeys One more ride around the sun In another form of life, another Breath is taken from me And ousted from another point of view This skin I feel is not my own I see the

Silence envelopes entropy and time In this nothing realm of meaningless paralysis and lies Distortion clouds the focus and illustrates the why? In this magnificent delusion of tragedy defined Airless and rigid Pale and cold The wraiths dark breath Welcomes me unto it's fold Deep within the fabric Of melancholic time There is no sleep and no elation On the walk along the line Inside nothing and consuming everything As the dreamer I am cold Captured in the image of Static night As the dreamer I am cold Limited by conscience Innocent and alone The state of play does not see reason It does not bow to our life Living in the wiring of interm

Carved into spaces between suns Linked with ethereal essence In the dark beyond the void Foreign words collide There is no form to understand No meaning to the structure We do not speak the language Written on the roof of the world In the bid for higher ground We fail to reach a common goal The constellations conversation Thoughts within a new design Forcing minds into the grey Forming inner vision We translate articulation Into text we can understand And create a bridge with which To share ideals and beliefs To merge the mind and matrix Between the sentient force We do not speak the language Written on the roof of the world It all fell d

Alive in the reaches of darkness incarnate Sweeper of nations devourer of law Divider of unit and reaper of all In through the passage of after we go Eclipsed by the essence Of sentient form Erased from the visions Of mortal souls Downfall of emperors resolver of kings Dissolver of sinew and healer of all Breaker of home and butcher of kin Open the mind let forever in Facing final moments The monsters of our lives Grasping at the closest edge To manifested time Arise, we set the world on fire And claim from us that which is gone Decide, within the darkest hour If infinity is master, If faith will guide it through In the wake of harvest W

In division, a human source of nothingness An empty animation brimmed with artificial will Lost without eternal guiding light Trapped inside affliction choking on these pills Definition undermined the meaning in a life Struggling with the rules of continuous presence An new solution must be reached If the balance is to be restored They took my god away from me Proved his absolution wrong They stole divining light To continue on I'll find another one They drove the spirit out of me Painted lies upon the sky Lost among the nonbelievers I'll forge another path With modern means and arcane scrolls I'll form a new apparition to dissolve The lies

Awoken from dreaming, yet still immaterial Lessen the chains that chafe and bind To dungeons old and forests dissolved A rebirth in sickness and fiery haze Weakened and ravaged by the clock's last turn Forsaken soul does begin to yearn A million miles from mind to eye To traverse this shadowlit recline A fingers breadth to sombre lay To transcend this moonlit divide A sanctuary guarded by the darkest of hearts A fortress torn open by the greed of man Bred of  illusion and broken of mind Deluded of spirit and corrupted of sight To traitors limb and restless horde Loss of path cannot afford A million miles from mind to eye To traverse this

In the complex throes of modern ways A system breakdown Immersed in thrill and integrated Into the modern rage A wish to be a cog in the machine A part of something great A direction to effectuate Driven to extremes To discover form of function Waiting out the deadline To breach the new facade In the ecstatic moods of modern ways A single thought to bring it down A cautious step into the black Of a future unfortold Moving forward through empty void Broken fields and shattered skies A victim of fallacy and need Reach out, Cling to, Fade out, Lose all Branch out, Fall From, Fade out, Lose all To the gates of questioning we fly In the visio

In this deserted land of wilted dreams and poisoned thoughts Unto the gates of questions yearned and answers sought I try to grasp The vines of pitchless torment reaching down from balustrades above Ascension granted by a means discovered between the lines of prescribed Serenity and in this hope I find the lies of sentience past Weakened by the climb to find the end of the path I was forced to walk By unseen hands inside my head that twist the thoughts to suit their own designs A flash of light behind the eyes and reality returns to reinforce The servitude of spirit and soul to demons of the earth Hands clasp tight to the tears and folds th

Driven to boredom And unproductive days Ruined by caffeine No motivation at all To worry Henceforth Instead of working Solidly Nothing to do Other than everything Nothing to do Says me Even when there is Not nothing to do Save for Everything

For all there is in emptiness And morbid lives aside Reaching into darkness And there's nothing left to grasp Dormant in the reveries Forever biding time Hope and lust and bleak despair The stumbling block ahead Futures leave so little left To pine for brighter days An ever blackened entity With which to tie the ends
