Far beyond the path of reason
Turning to leave fears seize us
Attempting to squeeze arteries
I don’t care I don’t care gasping
I will face these demons and their
Words stuffed-spilling from mouth
If they hurt your core do not listen
In this purging mainframe system
Just stand back to witness unpacking of
Lies twisted from lascivious incantations
How do we resolve and then dissolve
Without going to the places we know
Where everything has become broken
And shattered glass cuts feet to bone?
Do we continue to suppress or project
Pushing the boils to pustule-pop atone
Where every lost cause’s contorted hope’s
Reveal is accepted embraced in clemency?
I would dive deep in for you but
Would you run or stay with me?
These illusions still infesting
Scourge redemption’s validity
