Umbra

I'm waiting in the dawn light, clawing, tongue like dirt<br/> Bleeding wounds that unwind, nails worn through<br/> Screaming, wordless prayer<br/> Euphoria, distressed bough<br/> Evoke now the monolith, sepulchral pyre beneath the earth<br/> Veins of glass, skin of sand<br/> A glance upon madness, to extort the flesh ever changing<br/> Am I me?' I muse, through the fetid hollow<br/> Leaves of tar, toxic sap, constricting bark<br/> Limb of torment, drag me down, beneath the shadow<br/> <br/> And I slumber, in His embrace<br/> He cradles me to death<br/> And I slumber, in His faith<br/> He caresses, within my flesh<br/> And I slumber, in His embrace<br/> And I slumber, in His faith<br/> <br/> He calls my name, deathless sin, in the moonlight<br/> Uttering madness, please forgive me, endless nightmare<br/> Peel my bones, shifting grass, fractal worship<br/> Ageless god, nameless one, always within me<br/> <br/> Fixate the blind, upon the egress, lidless eyes, a starless void<br/> A new psychosis, fresh neurosis, an aberration of my mind<br/> At once to subjugate myself, ties that bind through bloodless skies<br/> Myriad eyes, peer through my sleeve, a tide of skin, ever shifting, sedulous<br/> A monolith of sin, obsidian form engulfing him, feed me blind, feed me bitter truth of mind<br/> A blanket of stars, to keep me warm under the sun, collective delusion, intrusion, illusion<br/> Revealing his name, enthralling, sublime, I see too much beyond the pale, grand cold void, with rotted fang<br/> Death grey flesh, birthed in ashen wastes, a tide of bone, ever screaming, lachrymose<br/> <br/> I'm waiting in the dawn light<br/> Screaming, euphoria<br/> Sightless woodland<br/> Breathless blood<br/> <br/> Scraping at the dirt, I am building my home<br/> Loose foundations, I am building my throne<br/> Growing inside, resident fear of mine<br/> Lightless eyes, reflecting through mirrors<br/> Lingering soul of mine, incense of blood in the skies<br/> Ever waiting god, empty heart within<br/> The clutches of heavens eye, my teacher, my soul, my pride<br/> I worship and adore, come not here, no more<br/> <br/> Shrouded mist, befall the hill<br/> Cascading down to me<br/> Bleeding skies of crimson eyes<br/> Entombed, a veil of thee<br/> <br/> Standing at my hearth, I am showered with gold<br/> Strong foundations, I am king, I am known<br/> Growing inside, fearless soul of mine<br/> Brightest eyes, reflecting through mirrors<br/> <br/> Lingering call of blight, a whisper of insight divine<br/> Ever waiting god, calling me to back to him<br/> The presence in the moon, my teacher, my heart, my guide<br/> I fear and abhor, come back to me, my love
