Troubled beyond reproach
Billowing clouds of smoke
When will my head and my heart agree for once.
Ageless and reckless.
Ancient and decrepit.
Falling from a higher horse, piranhas catch my body in shimmering waves.
(Of sticky amber liquid)
Clawing my way inside.
Breaking my bones, and swallowing my pride.
In an uncomfortable foreign place
Frozen in place,
Burned at the stake,
I wait.
Never able to quite make out the iceberg on the horizon.
My body riddled with arrows, parting my organs from one another.
I cradle my comfort.
Swaddled in cloth.
I cradle my comfort.
Standing at the edge about to step off.
Feeling electric, voltage bursts through lifeless veins.
The motions of the universe inspires, as i drift through outer space.
Adrift in the cosmic clockwork, riding on solar winds.
Time and space cease to exist, where the galaxy ends.
Let's keep this just between us,
i'm diving head first into knee deep fathoms.
Taking a knee to shoulder the weight of fifty faceless phantoms.
Fantasizing fantastic futures, as i pantomime compliance.
Deluding myself with a false sense of security,
As I'm thrown to the lions.
Throw me to the lions.
