Immersed in Austerity Time has never felt so ephemeral A new variant of evolution Aberrant deeds have consumed me Although, righteousness is perceived Discipline countermands free will Virtuous existence I'm still selfish, even more than before Ignoring all for a chance to adore Conflicting thoughts overwhelm me Ambivalent in the vein The sloth dissolved, obsessed thoughts spread like a venom "When I peak this whole town is going to feel it" Egh Torn and Scattered Engulfed by vascular static The apogee has been reached Trial complete, I'm still not enough These months cannot surpass the years I've reverted back to my true form with desire to stagnate I could never keep this up Cannot wash away disdain I hold for myself I've learned nothing at all This transformation was all a feeble attempt To get close to the flame and feel her warmth again I held my tongue through this whole process Determined for a chance to access Reality has it, you could not care less How many times must I cater for this dissension Tears fill your eyes, don't you dare I am the one with the heart that is left Torn and Scattered Enraptured souls intertwined Remaining to decay in this space, cursed to see another day Perpetually we go back to our ways and symbiotically we reanimate All it takes is to hear her voice, this love it is a drug Oh, the great lengths traveled just to see you smile I do not wish to be brash, all I crave is to be mollified Lifted from your caress Revealing love in your eyes Trial complete, I'm still not enough These months cannot surpass the years I've reverted back to my true form with desire to stagnate I could never keep this up Cannot wash away disdain I hold for myself I've learned nothing at all Perhaps, persistence Comfort in suffering I now realize that I am nothing more than addictions In the meantime, I will continue on Searching for a satisfaction in this reality
