A Cognitive Collapse

As consciousness returns
I'm jolted from this eternal slumber
Unsure of the present where and when
My body shakes and black is all I see

A flood of memories
The torrent of emotions are too much to contain within
My mind begins to tremble
Where the hell am I

Fear for what's to come
As visions fade away
The darkness that was once inside
Surrounds me like an endless void

Fearing the spider that creeps its prey
I'm trapped within its eternal web
Stalked and teased
Poked and prodded
I'm lost at sea
Can not get out

I'm out of the pan and into the fire
I trade one nightmare for another
An aphotic life of ambiguous distortions
Causes senses to falter
As if stuck in a typhlotic trance

Visions that
Once were so clear begin to slip away
Through the cracks of a fragmenting mind
I franticly claw at the memories
That I have left

Remembering faces
Remembering places
Of fearful eyes that were raw with despair
And argent skin with malignant scarlet reflections

The way down
No way out
Mind bound
Restrained and confined
Alone
There is nowhere
To Go
The way down
No way out
Mind bound
Restrained and confined
Alone
There is nowhere
To Go
I'm lost at sea

Twisted thoughts
Invasive

A sure memory of two
Knife in hand
Twisted thoughts with dark intentions
A sure memory of two
Fearful stare
Invasive
A lingering shadow of deception

I try to climb from the depths
To break free of the void and find the shore
I fight
With all my being
To survive the monsters that would have me drown

Oh

Enervate Cupidity An insouciant cacophonous lullaby
Enervate Cupidity An insouciant cacophonous lullaby
Enervate Cupidity An insouciant cacophonous lullaby
Enervate Cupidity An insouciant cacophony

Fear for what's to come
As visions fade away
The darkness that was once inside
Surrounds me like an endless void

The endless void closes in
I sink beneath the surface
As blackened waters fill my lungs
I see
