Be That As It May
Decency all but vanquished, prostrate and weak to even a cursory glance
A cautious eye or a threat to the trance? Show concern and be regarded askance
Those onlooking might cry out in dismay
But the world has cut out their tongues, be that as it may
Tombs
Perspective is lost on those with a pulse
Consciousness does not always correlate to cognizance
For any hope of escaping first-person, we must seek out the buried
Dig ever deeper, or cut your throat and keep walking
Bring out your dead
Dusk
The darkness looms as clouds, acute and overwhelming
Ever advancing
Romanticism laid to waste through self-inflicted wounds
Existence isn’t the safest of planes to be on tonight
