Event Horizon

Conflicting temperatures fracturing glass
Apathetic cold against hellish wrath
The glass pane shatters to reveal no soul
With fractured conscience, seeking to be whole
Severing hands to escape from shackles
In a mental wasteland but ruins and jackals
Rendered faceless with no facade
Rendered soulless yet no longer flawed

Now this is hell, there's no veneer
And to think the worst still isn't found here
This path I walk is to stifle such fear
Where only in the dark can you see through the clear

To dwell in these thoughts so they may go unspoken
As their weight on the mind rends it asunder past broken
Now dwelling in thoughts of what could have been
If only I'd seen the beginning is the end
Conflicting temperatures fracturing glass
Apathetic cold against hellish wrath
The glass pane shatters to reveal no soul
With fractured conscience through this black hole

Perhaps fear dies with us, as does all
After all, existence is terminal
May it be for you as it is for I
For it's in this way all life begets life
The boldest truth or the most comforting lie?
As nocturne brings the ebb of sky

Maranasati and atheus mortem
Seconds are fleeting and yet who can afford them?
Two contradictions in coexistence
Bracing to trek the unfathomable distance

For only in the dark can you see through the clear

With this vessel dies fear

Perhaps fear dies with us, as does all
After all, existence is terminal
As we pass on through the dilating eye
For it's through this pull all life begets life
