life moves in circles
i move in circles
endless repetition

as the old haunts hang from my mind
those sweet, sense-consuming memories will resurface
carrying back hope

the will to live is iron
the will to act is clay

inside my mind i sit and feast on rot & jealousy

those minute moments of ectasy & wholeness permeate the blanket of night

in the darkness my mind breeds with chaos

this sickness has hollowed out my soul, its tendrils are suffocating my heart

Our curse is this chain tethering us to purgatory,
lording over the animals trapped in hell,
gazing into the heavens above,
forced by this gift to climb ceaselessly an unreachable height,
given to be gods yet castrated at our inception

still i rise
still i ride
still i writhe

atop a lonely hill this body stretches
growing cold with atrophy
below the sound of rattling death breathes & soaks into the alleyways

i hate you
i hate your taking & wasting of this life
i hate everything that you have become

here i find the reason
here in your cowardice
here in your impotence

pour out this hot temper & bitterness
exhaust the soul and meld back into the void
