I arrive
to watch you die.
I arise
stare back into your eyes.
I felt you cry
I heard you lie
I watched you die
Inside.
I saw you lie
I heard your cry
Now, I abide
Inside.
You stand in awe.
The mind’s travels are far.
You accept what you see as the truth
No longer – For nothing is as it seems.
Our side, it shifts with us. Shift with us.
We drift, for there is much to be found
in every facet of knowledge.
So we dive into the unknown.
“I wish to know all.
The mystery encompasses me.”
Here, we are infinite.
Voices. Voices in my head.
Its voice hisses in my head.
Voices. Voices in my head.
Its voice makes my skin shed.
Voices..
Voices. Voices. Voices in my head,
Its voice makes my skin shed.
Voices. Voiced hiss. Voice hiss in my head.
Its voice is in my head.
Voices. Voices. Voice hiss in my head.
Its voice hissed in my head.
Its voice has made my skin shed.
I felt you cry
I heard you lie
I watched you die
Inside.
I saw you lie
I heard your cry
Now, I abide
Inside.
[It is forbidden? Then thirst more.
Break the taboo, liberate from ignorance.]
