Banished by thoughts of self control

My tears are blocked by projected dams

Gushing waters of pain and emotion

Cannot escape my sleepless torment

See my blank stare

if you must

Tear me away

from my disturbed past

can't you imagine the turmoil I live

I just might die

Blaspheme and guilt have no place here

Such selfish demeanor carries but one cost

Faithless I follow but one god and church

those paired by the creation of my mind

not even they can save me now

what an empty salvation that would be

corrupted by the very species that sees good in me

I carry empathy and judgment in the same hand

A plague that does no harm

is only denial of reality

this spreading disease must be stopped

a true self fulfilling destiny

when time runs out so does the truth of a prophecy

When facing the consequences of existence

murder is but the price to live by

take it with a grain of salt or a blind eye

Live today and die tomorrow or be faced with a punished end

Sever my limbs one by one

Exit wounds with sorrow and guilt

Drop by drop do not abandon me

I will always be near, always and forever

tear filled blood will eventually run dry

to its end

and mine

and yours and the world

all of us

until this

Until this ocean runs dry.
