Malady's Black Maw
Heaven is burning Samsaran Hill, my old friend A bed for bleeding bodies The sun coughs up light onto a weeping city My home is on fire I would have never known the wind was homicidal He would never have known he was homicidal I would never have known God was homicidal Spiritual parricide Kill the Father who looms above in the loveless skies No I will close my eyes first I’ll speak to nothing Dream of no one Death is the back of eye lids I’ll listen for your voice I’ll search the clouds for your facе Feel your breath in the air Kiss your skin in my sleep Heavеn is not burning Heaven is bending

Peering into the abyss of past seasons Gusts of wind and smoke devour the sky with an ember as its baton A fragile recollection with deceptive influence is all that one has Let me burn like the ash falling from this bright ember. Birthed anew, shed like a serpent’s scales A burning vestige dwindled to ash Ignite my quondam form, the stranger of my conscious I will manifest the embodied ember

To see you grow old is something I will never see. Count in 5's, then 10’s, 20's and you're there There is here and I am there, here right now Above black nothing, beneath golden blur I am so cold I am so high I am so lost Memories will come and do nothing Friends, they say words that mean nothing How easy to write nothing at all How easy to feel nothing at all

I wish I could tell you what is wrong There’s never a starting point Asleep, I’m home again I’m home, I’m numb again No one will know until they know Nothing is real until it’s real Shut out the world, this world has burned on me Fuck off with love, your love won’t free me Heartless, mindless, soulless A light has flickered out There was the world, I’ll find the world I’ll jump and find a way I’ll jump and find my world

Symbiosis of verity and fantasy lie intrinsic, buried under layers of comforting delusion Blind eyes turn to false enchantment A callow mind with a compromised awareness yields no bounds Horrid truth casts its shadow in the face of languor, but sheds light in adversity Esoteric scabs clawed away; stripped and intrepid A paragon in arms length, waiting to be seen

Inculcation; malicious doctrines claw a submissive intellect Tightens their grasp; a subversion of sovereignty A surrogate with buried intentions conjure a false autonomy The pernicious beckon the malleable; a distortion of perception Exculpatory and blameless, for they heed no intuition. Prosaic in nature, flawed and unadorned Like moths clinging to lustrous light, a brood is beckoned and their purpose is forged

Swarms of grey and vapor swallow the earth I am but one in a cluster, accompanied by dour folk Earth’s brood of comatose capability; a disinterested populace with a propensity towards apathy Inveterate bodies fulfilling their false imperative Heed the beckoning of collateral advancement, an amendment to ardor Evolution of man, tellurian innovation I will become the incarnate in a world of misery
