CADAVER

Bones in the water
Flesh decayed
Once a son or a daughter
In a quiet place
Memories doomed to wander
Through scent or phrase
I've been led to the slaughter
In the end of days
Ignored like the warning
I failed to heed
I'm just out of sight
Forgotten and free
Scattered and twisted
Anointed with algae
Curled up at the altar
Where I hoped that you would find me
So pry me
From the muddy banks
These calcified relics
Are all that you could take from me
Deny these
These selfish thoughts
Of safety and identity
And all that I have wrought
I'm drawing parallels between
Myself and dead men again
But mostly with death
It's the end that I depend on
It gives me urgency
It gives me urgency
It gives me urgency
Reaching upward towards these trees
I want to empathize
I want to bleed but
To be free from this burden
Isn't what it seems
It's existential longing
For an end to absurdity
It gives me urgency
It gives me urgency
