Wax

I step away
Peel off my skin and drop it at my feet
Into the unknown I flow

And you wouldn't get it
I feel pathetic
Like I'm some kind of puppet
And I can't take it
But these tendrils creeping up my body
I've been infected
I plunge a blade into my gut
To cut away this uninvited

Parasite
You can't go on controlling me this way
I trust in what I crave
A substance so serene
I live
Comforting
In this synthetic state of bliss
I know all that is good
Will one day atrophy

All that is good will surely atrophy

Dancing in the flames
Silhouettes and memories
Forgotten things
Drift further away from me

You still don't get it
I'm apathetic
I guess all of us are puppets
We love to take it
So these tendrils creeping up my body
Come on infect me
I'll plunge the blade into my gut
To make way for this symbiotic

Parasite
Please go on controlling me your way
I'll give you what you crave
A substance so serene
We live
Comforting
In your synthetic state of bliss
We know all that is good
Will come to atrophy

I stand upon the precipice of ego death
Taken back two decades past
A flickering flame and melting wax
One with the whole of the world
And the world was me
Am I the boy mesmerized by a flame
Or did that boy die inside of the man he eventually became

Let this body go
Let this body go

Do you finally get it
Ain't it prophetic
All of us are puppets
We're born to take it

Parasite
Please go controlling us your way
We'll provide what you crave
A substance so serene
We can live
Forever
In this synthetic state of bliss
We know all that is good
Will one day atrophy
