Beware of the rising tide
Before you're bludgeoned into waking
And sanctify this evisceration
As you conjure up a scapegoat
Rather than face your blind
Complacent hubris
You know they’re coming for
Your right to stay disconnected
From anyone outside your immediate field of vision
Cry out your eyes
Take me to communion
Champion my torment ignoring the cost
Time after time, tribute to the failed tribe
You’re all alibis and cop-outs
Waking up on the outskirts of exile
Are our goals so opposed as to
Generate their endgames from a different source
Languishing in scintillating deception
Saving face we crawl towards the abject
Horror Of the Morals we’ve calibrated
To the subjective flux of our own
Desire, we all submit to mythologize
Every transitory frustration
Cry out your eyes
Take me to communion
Champion my torment ignoring the cost
Time after time, tribute to the failed tribe
You’re tragic and mindful and deaf
We obscure our aims, radiate shame
Convinced the game is
Still zero-sum, as we become
Servants to the intrinsic
Program
Are we no better than this selfish recursion
We normalize obligate
Wanton fratricide under the guise of this
Glorified isolation
Mindlessly heaping our entrails
On the altar of self-actualization
We’ve become a withered husk

Nice to see you awake
Freshly unfettered by your fantasies Bathed in this rigid truth
What a deep relief
To watch your hunger for meaning dissolve
Still I can’t shake
the feeling of something sacrificed
All we are is calcified
Veiled behind immutable lines
Show me another way to account for this Insatiable drive to be defined
Submit to the necessity
Of rampant petty deception ossified within
You think you’re really here? Unassailed by innate programs, Blind to your better judgement
Conviction only serves to construct a Labyrinth of eternal dissatisfaction From your hollow search for meaning
I concede the limits of this dull machine
And behold the ancient spiral paralyzed By the weight of design
Is there some reprieve
In knowing the way beyond this Requires more than we could perceive
The restless winds
Console my indecision against the rising tide
All we are is calcified
Veiled behind immutable lines
Show me another way to account for this Insatiable thirst to be defined
By more than what we hide
Resist resigning yourself to Mindless patterns of petty projection lest you forget
We’re all the same
Under this meaningless facade of identity

You approach
Impeccably inspiring trust in me as
Each subtle signal reinforces my implicit biases
Oh god I’m coming apart at the seams Won’t you take my hand
Lead me away from these isolating fallacies I’m trapped inside someone else
When every breath feels so calculated
Each word becomes a cypher to conceal
So pardon my suspicion
But would you mind tracing that thought to source
No rush of course I’m simply curious
How you’ve arrived here
Oh god I’m coming apart at the seams
Just tryna make some sense of
Every way we’re inadvertently deceived by our own intent
Faces like forgeries
Masquerade, factory-makes -
Of all we prize and emulate,
We waste away, simulate each day in - Pretense and flattery,
Give and take, fashion a veil of Carbon, colourized, All enhanced, Figurines with overtly bleeding hearts.
We’re all ripe with calculation
Each word a frail cypher to conceal
Your total lack of inhibition
As we spill forth torrents of self-righteous condemnation We castrate ourselves
Oh god have we forsaken charity to crucify Those outside our adolescent fantasy of
Life devoid of every threat
Faces like forgeries
Masquerade, factory-makes -
Of all we prize and emulate,
We waste away, simulate each day in - Pretense and flattery,
Give and take, Savour the taste of Poison to your health for the host
All admissions of character and poise
We all owe it to ourselves
To investigate the source of this illusion

Breathe in, zooming out Perceive without
Feeding this narrow tale We cannot afford to prevail
As every hour trickles Endless towards the dawn The light reveals our tale As apocryphal
All ensnared in narratives Convinced that they are
Sacred, untouchable by patterns
We enact without a hint of awareness
Virulent, barriers condemn us to overvalue
Immediate satisfaction
Offered by this embedded template
As all our efforts pale Stubbornly we evolve
A wider lens to confront this
Cancerous drivel Spilling from our mouths Such blatant hubris
I refuse to release my suffocating grasp
On the words that absolve me of this predetermined horror
Dissolve, embrace the terminal futility of this pursuit
And observe your identity eviscerated And scattered out amongst the horder
You were never any more
Than a recursive pattern of flesh flavoured dust And that’s alright!

Another day the same pathway
My ego clawing towards the dawn
Who am I but
An image magnetized by promises of what’s to come
Bleed the past of its potency And cease this fruitless reaching You know you’re leaving\
The moment out to dry
In favour of the dust behind
My hope is enshrined inside this fragile narrative And it's fragmented at best
Each sudden jolt of suffering drags me away From the moment in its unfettered bliss
Who am i to resist
The promise of such openness Where I can finally rest
Knowing my desire is extinguished There’ll be nothing left grasp
Vacant roads await me
Swallowing my throne
archaic goals pulverised
And scattered the by grinding hush
The clouds dissolve
Revealing this desolate impermanent resolve
Red and so Inviting
We bury our insistent reservations
And descend further into the mire of abdication’s throat
