Somehow I’m seeing something Too dead to recognize My skin’s cryptic writing Won’t tell me who I am inside
Am I still alive Or have I reached the end I don’t know who you are But I feel like I’ve been here before These men of dust Absent of what I need Together yet alone We leave this forgotten place behind
Other broken souls Are drawn close to me The allure of torment Beckons and hungers Twisting free
Unveiling of answers Unfolding of truths Spoken in hisses Mortality gone Given away
You ask your questions and I’ll ask mine Why did I want immortal life? Memories fade as I arise What pain awaits on other sides
Feel at all for those with you Matter in your heart Maybe they’re just willful tools Helping you along
Why the wait to return to me My precious, pretty one One more question still to ask Where shells have failed dreadfully
Answer me this as best you can What can change the nature of a man
You cared not for any replies (any but mine) All those men who had tried but still died by the sleight of your hand I hear of my lives My true answer I’ll find
An anchor for a soul Lost but living this I know Life is learning how to die Being whole will hold them tight
I’m left to find my way Meet them all the fallen shades Torn to touch and feel a face Though I fear I might see rain
