Swarming skies ravenous

Into them our fathers vanished

Their atmosphere embracing this orphaned Earth

Blur of infinite forms diffuse through each other

What's there to make sense of?

We are only half-awake.

Drifting mindless state to state, forgetting we give shape...

To what we fear.

Fear: A push against the chest, A crushing of the breath

Silence strained through in place of words

We disconnect

Stitch back ruptured seams

Hide in those dreams...

Half-escaped

That fading phosphorescence

That embalms the mind

Numbing it from acceptance

Acid rain into open eyes

Everything that feels so real

Feels like it's alive

You think this light is yours to keep

It only left you blind

What's there to make sense of?

You are only half-awake

Crawling over page by page

You won't find your truth pleading for answers

In communion with the hungry sky

It's you I'll immolate in sacrifice

Setting fire to your scribes writing claims on other lives

Heaven's dissolving rains will answer your ashes' prayers
