Overshadow

The thick cloud that nauseates my spirit

Impermanence and disgrace pulled into my lungs

Without formality, without deceit,

I force myself to breathe while my substance suffocates

The purpose of this death, the purpose of my life,

To kill again and again that which kills inside

Retreat, descend, withdraw and bury humanity

Fall back, attack, resign and forgo mortality

Breathe deep the overshadow

Worship the poison

I hear it echo in the dark

But I'm too afraid to search

If I wanted the end of this maddening voice

I'd nail it to a cross

Stationary misery

To remind me that life will end

Just like the saviors

And the dreamers of the flesh

But I want to keep it at bay

So I can learn to relate

I could never taint its meaning

This voice without faith

Stationary misery only mentions that life must end

I move forward indifferent

Guarded against the flesh retreat,

Descend, withdraw and bury humanity
