Daily, you I try to justify
Carve a carcass to order
Die and still remain under
Your benevolent command
Bleach the ink on my will
Scatter the justifying lies
Blank myself like an aide
Rummage through the attic
Utter disconcerting words
Shackle myself to you
Hope, it ought to hold
This affliction shall not pass
Carving lines into my hand
Setting eyes upon images
Ascending into a soliloquy
This was not to be
The abode of my dreams
Singing sirens sooth me
Dull lapping water calms me
The storm retreats back down
Into the depths it takes me
As the conscious fades
As the pain subsides
The helpless sadness
The forsaken joy.

All over now reviving
Ready for a challenge
Striking a balance
More persuasion
Deeper recursions
Allied journeys
Groovy perception
Sonic blockades
Sieved informatics
Aristocratic Discursions

Never lived in the land of why
Now seeking hasty accommodation
Stepping into a low down motel
Screaming luxury to my untrained eye
Reading fine print upon the wall
Discarding antique mortar bricks
Punching holes into the structure
Bringing down the room
Witnessing the sky
Feigning lucidity
Inducing felicity
Garnering denials
Recoiling unwittingly
Subduing insanity
This was not to be
The abode of my dreams
Singing sirens sooth me
Dull lapping water calms me
The storm retreats back down
Into the depths it takes me
As the conscious fades
As the pain subsides
The helpless sadness
The forsaken joy.
