Illunis - Rolo Tomassi

The sheer disrespect of this, to disregard and feign bliss

I listened to the movement now I’m stunned to silence

Claim to love it, unconditionally

But boast with resent with charmless ease

What seems to get overlooked is this is not compulsory

This isn’t who we are lost in the lines inbetween

Your bitterness in this business, a hate supreme and merciless

Pierce with distaste to watch it bleed

Romanticizing misery, this league is bred to criticise

And now we watch it multiply, fail to resist intrigue in

Interest, detonate the illusion of affluence

This sunrise brings entitlement and we fight to earn it

All is not lost for this lost art

Though it’s forged with lukewarm sentiment

When all else is laid to rest

How dare I dare to demonstrate?

What was beloved is now waste

Grieving the death of easier days

Against dominating waves

Laboured breath forcing it to wake

Call control on what you did not create

Reduce this weight before we sink

Revive and reverse, resist and return

Conquering my despair

The true prevalence

Of passion
