You Who Has Never Slept

The vessels of your sin

The shamed you've broken down

They will not bear your burden

They will not bear one

Shred of your disgrace

Bow, and open yourself to what is to come

For I have lost my youth and joy

For I languish inside of sadness

For my heart is full of scorn

I pray you, disloyalty

Blowing through the streets & the valleys

Of my restless mind

Of my eldritch thoughts

Of my uncertainty

Apathy claws at our doors

Talons made of burdens and blights

Scratching, mawing, persistent

All we care for is rotten and rich

It shall devour

I'm no better

Torn of the same cloth

Shrouded in ignorance and flesh

Let it in

Apathy claws at our doors, let it in

I awoke with the resolve to move a mountain

I want to be like those before me

Who screamed into the great unknown

Saying "we will not stand for this."

We will not be bystanders, we will not stand idly by

Sleep soundly, tread lightly you who has never slept
