Dysphoria - Barren Earth

Layers upon layers of night

(Form over white dunes)

Liquid light running deep

(Flowing blue)

He lies writhing

A faint sentry

(Within waves of bloodred)

Agony apparent

(From the blue, tears were shed)

Our fears are the same

Expressed freely through alternate avenues

Having different outcomes

Severe or inconsequential?

What role belongs to will?

The re-opening

Of my sequestered world

The colour is drained

And the nights are fading out

Dysphoria

The re-opening

Of my recluded soul

The blackness that roared

Cannot take its final hour

Dysphoria

And so we remain

Stare into one layer after another

While unwilling, unconscious, unreal

We are drowning deeper

In a song

I embrace…

Abhorring the silence

A summoned past recourse

Encasing the island

Boldly

As is my freedom

Come sweet slumber…

The black returns to me now
