We are the blessings lost
The bundles of joy
Castrated and bleeding on the carpet

Now, Drink.

We are the shells of perfection
We are mearly what remains after hope
We are only human.

You are given one choice.
Hide.

Damned, we are
To listen to the air disperse at the end of the axe
And find "love", in it.

Fighting with every tenacious dawn
Forcing it to memory
To cover scars left from mornings alone in the dark

You fill up to the brim.
You follow a pattern of thought too far
You hit that unexplainable well of sorrow
You weep, knowing life is fading
And life itself fades.

All things cliche!
All things futile!
All things fleeting with every breath!
This is the human conclusion!
This is what we KNOW is real!
This is what why we LIVE for fear!
We think life
Is understanding it...
When it lies in the tripwire.

You will die.
This world will end.
Yet when all things leave
Trust one will remain
That untracable
Undeniable
Hole.
