Out of the sun an outline of truth Darkness draped in brilliant light Blinded – unable to gaze Down the chasm of enlightenment The rays sting my eyes as I turn to the sky The scornful face of a merciless sun Unable to slake my thirst for insight My mind desiccates with ignorance A perfect image of contradiction Reflecting in my fading consciousness Fierce blazing light Perfect solid dark My thoughts invert In the barren wasteland of insanity My only light is that of the sun Bound by shadows, now lead astray By luminescent lies What if the world as I know it is false? What if illusion is the only thing real? I’ve sought the line between light and dark The incision between life and death I realize that my search is futile That all and nothing are intertwined My mind scorched by enlightenment The sun sets on my dying eyes A monument to my failure I disintegrate
