Somewhere beyond the atmosphere
Mind wandering deep space
Starlight and sightless dark
Silence in my wake
Eyes to take it in
Flames into my lungs
Burn myself alive to know the warmth of the sun
Somewhere beyond the atmosphere
Mind wandering deep space
Starlight and sightless dark
Silence in my wake
Eyes to take it in
Flames into my lungs
Burn myself alive to know the warmth of the sun
Bloodletting
Drop by drop, seeking balance
Fingers scarred from the effort
Battles lost, then fought again
Dulled sense
An endless war
Bloodletting, to live another day
Bring myself back into range
Lost signal, breaking through the interference
Lost battles, never ending war
Losing will, digging deep to find it
Bury me
I’ll fight it all the more
Not dead, but static
Not alive, despite my beating heart
Going nowhere
Linger near the start
No desire to go on
Fucking waste
What’s the point in keeping up?
Days into decades
Age catching me up
Thirty years
Already experienced enough
Enough love, enough adventure
I’ve lived so many lives
I’ve been the hero, the villain, the passerby
I’d like to think I’ve still some role to play
Mind still sharp, though my body starts to fade
Rise from silent slumber
Another dreamless night
Void of consciousness
Restless waste of time
Harsh reminder
Gravity takes hold
Spiral downward
Fragile heap of bones
Heartbeat
Echoes loudly in the small hours
Heartbeat
Keeps me up at night
Becoming a constant
Font of words, flowing from within
Purity
Honesty
Poisoning the spring
Drink in venom from the stone
Force of habit
A creature like any other
Moving fast
Through familiar rhythms
Past repeats
React just the same
Force of habit
Action innate
