The air ignites
With a stroke of my hand
Embers rain upon your home
Watch as i plant the seed
And take root
Deep into the ground
Feel, the earth shakes
I spread
Erupt from shifting sands
Erupt into child of man
I spread like flame
Setting your hearts ablaze
I take hold
And bloom into frail lungs
Draw ragged breaths
I am inside these week-old weary eyes

Sew your eyes shut
And fill your mind with trivial thoughts
How much do we really need?
At this very moment
A life is brought to end
Drowning in dust and fading away
But fear not!
Your wallet shall not go hungry
A cold hand
Grips the terrors of this world
That of detachment

There is no silence in this place
My my is slowly being crushed
By a thousand invisible waves
I long for stillness
Hollow white-amber light
Leaking into my bones
Turns them to dust
Retreat from the harrowing sound
Take solace
And collapse under the weight
Of the faintest whisper
Cut deep
Watch the signal rise
Collapse under the weight of silence

Here i stand
A preacher with no sermon
Searching for the fading line
Between idiocy and grandeur
Hear these empty words
Flow through you
Let it ring in your ears
Let it consume
Why waste my breath
Prolonging the myth
Of
Hope

Drift
Carried on the thick dead air
To the hollowed place
Where the lights swallow the sky
Empty vessels roam splintered grounds
Driven by a distant pulse
Blood fed through jagged veins
Driven by echoes
And here i stand
The last heirs of deception
Have rusted away
And here i stand
Monolith of indulgence
A beacon of failure
