Piety

Breaching the surface of my self realised dread
Dwelling beneath the shadow of inhaling light
Living through the torture of impaling night
Seeping through the cavities of my mind
Paralytic soul devoid of all consciousness

I am one with the pain
Born as I waste away
Nothing left within me
Lay me down at the lake

Desiccated husks leaking into empty realms
The water soiled by the inconsistent memories
Broken vessels seeking passage through primordial dread

The grief I carry hardened to my back
A shell of contempt
Bleak fear of death
All that I've loved has been torn away
All that I've held has rotted

Immaculate misconceptions
The sanctity of flesh
Unclean victim to the endless depths
Terminal of my shame
Narcissistic piety

Shattering the mirror
Clawing open the void
Staring at the throat of my terror
Lucidate my fear

Piety

I am one with the pain
Born as I waste away
Nothing left within me
Lay me down at the lake

The unbearable weight
Of consciousness
To be lifted from the self
The pain of living
Relinquished from all dying flesh

Desperately wailing at the boundary of existence

Shattering the opulent
Chamber of the soul
In the chapel absent of light
Severed from the body
As the lake welcomes me
Immured in the memories of what I have yet to become
Drowning in the visions of a chapel
Made of skin
Beckoned by the gaze of the Impoverished God
