The Void

I am the one – That you long to deceive
You are the ones – This nothingness bleeds
Guarded by your silence – I have felt the spoken word
Sowing innocent violence – Will you eat what you have served

I hear you calling out – Where the lost cannot be found
Playing with forbidden doubts – I have long betrayed your crown
Now that you are naked – The distance fades between us
The kingdoms long been forsaken – Betrayed by your fucking lust

We are the beggars – Begging for the tease
Forever begging – Begging baby please

I taught the truth –
I lived the lie –
You seen the proof –
You heard me hide –
I bought her truth –
I sold her lies –
My life’s the proof –
Is it time to hide –
Your life’s the truth –
When you can’t hide –

What I refuse to be – Keeps right on pursuing me
Faceless in the past – I realize that nobody is free
Are you alive – Have you crucified the creed
Will we survive – This repetition of human history

Down on my hands – My hands and knees
You’re not as good – As you first seemed
I feel the scars – So that eye can see
You turned me in – To make-believe
Now I’m defined – Down on my knees

We are the beggars – Shipwrecked by the seas
Forever begging – Begging baby please

I taught the truth –
I lived the lie –
You seen the proof –
You heard me hide –
I bought her truth –
I sold her lies –
My life’s the proof –
It’s time to hide –
Your life’s the truth –
When you can’t hide –

The taste of honey – Is what you promised me
Now that I’m blind – I cut so eye can see
I am your dirty scar – You are my wretched crown
Raised to the stars – So we can burn ourselves back down

How long ’til ignorance – Is no longer an excuse
How long ’til we silence – The voice that we refuse

I love the pain –
In faking real –
I am alive –
But for the kill –
That’s why you see –
What I can’t feel –

The truth is veiled –
But it’s not hidden –
The light has failed –
Are we forbidden –

I am the truth –
I am the lie –
You heard the proof –
You seen me hide –
I stole the truth –
I sold the lies –
My life’s the proof –
But you still hide –

Your love is only make-believe
Why am I  begging – For a taste of your disease
Did I really want – To see what you believe
That’s why I’m begging – Begging begging please

I feed the hole – Becoming one with the void
I devour what is whole – I was sent to destroy
Call me what you will – There is no escaping this
The prophecies fulfilled – I am bliss you ignorance

How distant the taste of days divine
Your bitter end will pass with age old wine
Forging simple truths in the riddled rhyme
How much longer ’til it becomes your time

Phere

The biosphere
The lithosphere
The atmosphere
The mountaineer

The troposphere
The financier
The bombardier
The mutineer

The hemisphere
The engineer
The profiteer
The insincere

The yesteryear
To disappear
And persevere
So cavalier

Alchemical poetics from former fundamentalist freed through the actions of thinking and evolving. These rhymes capture the internal and external turmoil of what fundamentalism does to the spirit of the individual, the unity of society, and the destruction of culture through erroneous self-deception in the name of love and light.
