Vatican
N.U.M.B. (Neutralize Under Maternal Bond)
Waking to the static of your ceaseless misery
Burning parades of cruelty in my eyes
Bleak display within a despairing sea

Splintering senses
Don't look away
There’s so much more to show you

Arms heavy with the weight of defilement
Lower their dangling forms
Down to the deepest cracks
Of an uncaring shattered world

Be commanded
Or abandoned
Cry, vomiting your lies beheld
Be commanded

Waking to the static of your ceaseless misery
Burning parades of cruelty in my eyes
Another day without end
Deathless

So pitiful, it seems
To watch your lives, like neoprene
Ill-stitched into my hands
You fray so quickly in the flame
What beautiful, destructive things
How quickly you decline
Ignorant and full of bliss
So numb to the divine

In a chasm on the edge of your collective self
Lost in the death of sleep
I am the observer of all your kind
Praying for a new beginning

Uncertain that I remember the difference between sleep and waking
Dying and then returning
Agony, the immortal rhapsody

Now let me in
