To Erase A Lifetime

Here's my only dream - While I breathe dopamine

My creature's cunning

It walks the road between sense and amphetamine

Clearly and ominous presence - Seraphs belong only to the ones who wait

I can feel it combine me - Merging all of my instincs with the withering beast

We dance around in a ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows

Skies are ashen, dim summer stench - uncontrollable aesthetics relapse

This twilight as dawn

Faster, suppressor, a silent storm approaching

Behold a black-chalked figurine - it speaks to me in tongues

I resist my dislocation

Automatic integration of forgotten flaws and imperfections

Amplification of this endless

These words form a knife of cold

And pierce the heart of the unloving echoes of departure

My will bends as a twig in the wind

Decipher unwritten laws of coded existence - I'm naked in the cold

Strangely amused by conformity - Caught with a strange desire

I'm both promise and lie

Build to receive - Conductor of hours - A clockwork

A grim device built to undo - Erase a lifetime - Creator of ends

Now - death sets a thing significant, the eye had hurried by

Years become a second when thoughts collide with memories

The stitches stopped themselves

And then it was put among the dust

The center of self - Equation of life

The less you resist - The less you're erased

I fear the ghosts of all that would be - There is no closure

I heed the call of millions of others who fight the giant

One second alone has brought me thunder
