Deep in the dark, his thoughts ran wild Committed to his banishment, he recoiled like a child The womb was wounded, the veil was vexed He then turned to violence he had long suppressed The fire went out, and he was left an amputee Bereft of any solid link to reality Spawned from weakness, his desire grew deranged Once crumbled, all his cornerstones, his body took revenge Bound by visions from the boundless void Closer to the edge he had pledged to not avoid Mute and tired, he longs to free With mutiny his mind from reason's tyranny Early in the morning A silent prayer It's hard to tell apart Here from nowhere Behind his eyelids Things fall apart It's hard to tell where things Do end or start Loomed a candle in the shadows' nest And though his fears were manifold, they did manifest An aching echoed in his hollow shell For kindness of any kind could see his unrest quell His name was just a sound, his body a silhouette When with myriads of memories as billows, it was beset Lost in laughter, he denied them all Having made peace with solitude, he waits for death to call Much too soon his resilience caved By holding to the past, his consciousness remained Time untamed did resume its trot His body was a cage, and language was the lock Early in the morning A silent prayer It's hard to tell apart Here from nowhere Behind his eyelids Things fall apart It's hard to tell where things Do end or start My body is a cage And I am barely a man To drown in my own self Must leave it all behind I'm looking for the cure To the sickness of the word I reach out but cannot feel Soon I'll be free of will And I'll be free of thought I'll be free of pain And I'll be free of desire Nothing shall remain And I'll be free of pride I'll be free of shame I'll be free of this urge I'll be free of these chains And I'll be free of doubt I'll be free of faith And I'll be free of hope I'll be free of hate And I'll be free of love And I'll be free of cheer I'll be free of creed I'll be free of fear
