Illusions of a Mirage - Annihilation

Masked perception

Distorts the face of truth

Subtly corrupting my eyes

Awkwardly blurring reality

The lights which dare to shine upon me

Are mere glimpses of lies

It’s twisted to live through fish-eye lenses

What I behold never is what’s real

Is our reality really what do we perceive?

A nightmarish depiction of life

Mislead by torn spoken words

Blinded by a childish damned hope

Unable to cut through the mist

Longing to discover a passageway

Inadvertently building up expectations

Enslaved by naive behaviors

Lacking the knowledge of how I imprisoned myself

Incarcerated in a frustrated state of mind

Lost in a desert of desolation

Cheated by manipulated visions

Engulfed in darkness, straying away from the path

Confused by venomous voices

The truth is in fact within myself

So still I crawl in black mud

Drifting away unaware of the facts

Surviving the midnight sun

Sliced by the blade of belief

Throughout the density I pierce

I yearn for wisdom in my illusions

Illusions of a mirage

To comprehend existence
