Disembodied Profanity

Welcome to my delusion, poison for you all
Words failing, failing again, but now the writing is on the wall
And every year, I fed the burden with my fears
Laughing as it crushed my spirit, forced to persevere
The clock is fkin’ with my disillusioned head
I bear the weight of my world and every hour of truth I’ve bled
Festering sickness blurs these jagged, uncrossed lines
Tripping through a desecrated nightmare of my perverse design
Every day is a blank expression of ways we could be
Loudly into the void we scream another disembodied profanity
Worlds apart in a common space, with those words we could not replace
I take another step into the sinking sand
The cold air fills my lungs as the fear misguides my hand
Dreaming of ways to dream of dreams I left behind
Never meant to finish what was started, in madness unrefined
It’s always the same as the crashing waves ignite my heart
Dismembering every line to make the fire obey the spark
Running in circles, daggers at pages we stare as we fade away
Dissipated, depleting, a coward self-de-f-feeding, fallen on wasted days
It’s a tired, repeating maze
Every day is a blank expression of ways we could be
Loudly into the void we scream another disembodied profanity
Worlds apart in a common space, denying all we desire
Breaking this thick mold of lies

Loose ends justified all we denied
Spinning through spirals of jaded sighs
Forever content just to survive
Buried with lies in the wreckage of time
Maybe you’re clinging too hard to a drowning man
What if we wash away with the lines in the sand?
We’re forever looking in from the outside
Wasted time reveals a promise left behind
Nothing ventured, nothing gained from the inside
Out of mind, safe from what we’ll never find
And the higher we climb, it’s a longer fall
When the odds are against us, we slow to a crawl
I’ve traced over shapes and the lines we’ve drawn
Making sense of the noise that’s been here for so long
So much perspective is lost when nothing seems to align
Under a sky ripped apart by a dream undefined
We’re forever looking out from the inside
Losing time and now the blind are leading the blind
And I think I’m burning up on the outside
Out of mind, safer still with this blame of mine
And in my darkest place, she’s a million miles away
So we become the demons we face, and the words we can’t say
We’re forever looking in from the outside
Wasted time reveals a promise left behind
Nothing is ventured, nothing gained from the inside
Out of mind, safe from what we’ll never find

I own every lost year, each crippling fear
I own the sounds I hear, distractive and unclear
I own infinite rain seeping through pain
I own every mistake
Now watch me as I break
I swam through seas of noise, and flew through miles of lies
There’s no room for compromise
So if we don’t connect, it comes as no surprise
Mourn the loss of faith, and slow decay of hope
Blistering through slow descent down endless slope
I own these masks I wear, when I dare
Hiding angry stares, fabric slowly tears
Conceived now, a delicate fatalistic misstep
From the weeping flames of intensity’s breath
Where deeply ingrained dreams go to die
And strain to whisper reluctant goodbyes
I wandered into the void, and faltered at every turn
There’s much time left to burn
Falling through floors as all the tables turn
Silently aware, in a shallow, toxic daze
Left with these absurdly tortured, catastrophic days
Attached and yet we feel so fucking separate
Tracing spirals drawn by every former self we’ve shed
Words are mine to erase, dreams mine to chase
Forces mine to deploy
Walls are mine to destroy
My choice is to decide, or run and hide
Embracing abandonment with reckless abandon, yet…
I’m as lost as I can get
But I slept through weeks of pain, and lived through years of sleep
You’ve sown all I’ve ever reaped
So much left to prove, but will is buried deep
Mourn the loss of faith, and slow decay of hope
Blistering through slow descent down endless slope
Attached and yet we feel so fucking separate
Tracing the spirals drawn by every former self I’ve shed
