Moonlighter

Empty Entry
A deserted invitation
Tracing footsteps I've made once before

Shapes aloft, my chest compresses
The breeze flows in shimmers

Resonate!

Behold, another hindrance
Flooding, consuming me
An imposing, intricate will

Illustrator!

Fabrications! The wind in the leaves
The cool sting of night on my face
A golden moment, a sight with no palette
Impossibility dancing for me

The moon as the sun
These lines drawn stagnant
The scene bled dry of its color
World's intent, subtle and latent
This air breathes like no other

Stellar window, lost fruition
Moonlight holds its fixation

Structures come crashing. A dwelling embedded
Two worlds fighting, perfection in chaos
A guiding lamplight. Mangled and waning
It's halo grounded, feeding the unknown

I'm home, it's homeless
Vacant, deprived
Here I am someone, but among nothing

Finding abandon
Wretched, picturesque
The Mass' eviction, nuclear isolation

Welcomed with an empty howl
The echos lay dreary and hidden
Held out overnight
No one to listen

Creeping, heavy loom
Swallows all within its shadow
Blooming silhouette
Growing finality

Reaching far beyond sight
Contorting the space in between
Shortened stride, dragged by the tide
Brought into view of what's to be seen

A likeness amidst the figures
Acting only in cycles
Frantic and urgent they hurry through shadows
Their pace is quickened, invader

Hour of witches demands blood to be spilled
The lights show no timely soul
The dark of the threshold competes with the night
Visions of idleness can't hold Forever

Callous bludgeoner
What more could sate the thief
Irreversible permanence
You'll earn your penitence

Callous bludgeoner
What more could sate The Thief
Irreversible permanence
Glutton, you must have had your fill

Gaping eyes bestowed by the moon
Calls deafened by the fall
A hand extended, breaks the fixation
What hides behind the night

(The Thief)
On my own too long
Do you hold the Key?
You'll uncoil me?
Surely, my savior
Will this release me?

I know why you're here. I've begged and prayed for it
Don't spin me your lies, I've heard it all before
I wish it were me, the second fate went swinging
But this wasn't the plan, I never knew his name

Open the door, find solace in the absence
Pull me from this strain
The echoes that gnaw, toothless and silent
Send word of me

Oh my god it's starting...
Sinking, sinking, sinking
Can't relive this, stop this
Let me just be nothing!

You weren't here before
You have to be the way

It must be, you must be!
I've learned that blood can't soak deeper than this
End me here, I'm changed, I'm done
Look at my hands, look at me

Look at me now!
Look at me now!
God, please, look at me now!

Look at me now!
Look at me now!
My God, Please!
LOOK AT ME NOW!
