Surface - Assemblage 23

Fall, seize

I am merely debris

Scattered along the ground

False rage

A man in a cage

An explosion without a sound

Drawn in

By the deafening din

Crumbling into dust

Look down

Watching me drown

Choking on my disgust

And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky

Sink, sleep

Drawing me deep

Pulling me underneath

Push, strain

For the distant terrain

Struggling just to breath

Freeze, fold

A story untold

A disaster that could have been

A precursor perhaps

To the cruelest collapse

A sign that I should have seen

And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky

Burst through

The smothering blue

Falling into the sky

Rebirth

For whatever its worth

If only just to defy

Crush, burn

With little concern

Feasting upon my prey

Tear, rend

Expediting the end

Of everything in my way

And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky
