The thick cloud that nauseates my spirit Impermanence and disgrace pulled into my lungs Without formality, without deceit, I force myself to breathe while my substance suffocates The purpose of this death, the purpose of my life, To kill again and again that which kills inside Retreat, descend, withdraw and bury humanity Fall back, attack, resign and forgo mortality Breathe deep the overshadow Worship the poison I hear it echo in the dark But I'm too afraid to search If I wanted the end of this maddening voice I'd nail it to a cross Stationary misery To remind me that life will end Just like the saviors And the dreamers of the flesh But I want to keep it at bay So I can learn to relate I could never taint its meaning This voice without faith Stationary misery only mentions that life must end I move forward indifferent Guarded against the flesh retreat, Descend, withdraw and bury humanity
