The Flame of Confession

Like the ashes of the fallen ember
Do my whispers reach the ears of the darkened abyss?
I know not the dawn and dusk of this unnerving caress
But as they fall will they remember they no longer exist?

And now I
Content
Confronted by the Gods under the grime
Carried like the last drop of water
Like bodies not to yet be buried
The smell of Sulphur burns inside of my skin
I scratch at the walls
In the halls
Here now my confession begins

As time continues
To fall away from itself
The flames burning higher
Without a guide
As the smoke impales
To never forget like the Nile
I'd rather burn than drown like Antinous
Travel as Ulysses
Now time continues
To lose all hope
Under my periscope (Burdened by the smoke)

Like the ashes of the fallen ember
Do my whispers reach the ears of the darkened abyss?
I know not the dawn and dusk of this unnerving caress
But as they fall will they remember they no longer exist?

Cutting
All of the sound had compressed
Another flame now took a bite
I crawl around the cage
Like newborn cattle undone
A coup
Now with silence engaged
I'm on all fours
On time
Coming undone
The gauges bursting
As I dream again

As time continues
To fall away from itself
The flames burning higher
Without a guide
As the smoke impales
To never forget like the Nile
I'd rather burn than drown like Antinous
Travel as Ulysses
Now time continues
To lose all hope
Under my periscope (Burdened by the smoke)

As time continues
To fall away from myself
The flames burn now higher
I'm burning inside myself

I see the eyes set out to kill me
But no more do these shadows sway in the way of my fate
As this kingdom crumbles inside of me
It now absolves me
Full of doubt
I tackle these gates
Fade as I now wither away
This buried corpse now speaks to me
I'm now the one with the flames
There goes the dreamer unseen
A begotten disease
A nameless author
Breathing
Forgetting
The confession burns once again

As time continues
To fall away from itself (I fall away)
The flames burning higher
Without a guide
As the smoke impales (Eternally)
To never forget like the Nile
I'd rather burn than drown like Antinous
Travel as Ulysses (In the seas)
As time continues
I'm losing control
Under my periscope

Now I'm burning
My skin's splitting into two
And I finally take a glance at the one who encaged me (My periscope)
The flames burning higher
I catch the look
It was me (My periscope)
Holding myself in death
Now I
Here
Burn myself away (My buried soul)
To return from my own grave
And like the phoenix
Will I rise, (Condemned and Content)
And hope my soul to save? (Under my periscope)
