Perils of the journey to self

Leave us all a thief by its nature

To question the motives of the parasite

Means you deny the knowledge possessed

I strain to shine through the many layers of lies

A million miles backwards through defeat

Taken out of context

Transplant the meaning to facilitate my demise

Many hands make light work

To stab with the knives aiming at our backs

As long as the jaws engage

It will bite

Scratch if the claws are

Not disconnected

Don’t you know the meaning of life

Is lost to those who don't seek it

Look away now

Or be devoured

Thoughts betray how

We conceive the myth

Look away

Don't turn the eyes inward

Look away

To see the fragile composite

Look away

What makes you strong

Will make you weak

It is written with flesh prophetic in text

In the earth, the sea, in the sky

This mechanism will not grant you rest

Its in the death rattle, the scream of the birth cry

Every time I relapse reminded the Allegory of the cave

Im exposed

By this light

As it burns

Through what I thought was real

As it goes

I was right

Time is just

The vibration of holograms

The true nature

Of illusion

Means that

Fate is already set

Look away now

From the change in spectrum

Is it strange how it

Manifests the lie

Look away

The lines between are blurred

Look away

Reflection of self doubt

Look away

Don't stare

The truth will hollow you
