So calm So cold I've caught my breath I've given in Deep beneath the mask I've worn since I came into this world Stirs something primal Slowly released by fevered incision Now internalize this repetition to escape and transcend The clouds have rolled back The stars have fallen into the ocean I can no longer see beyond all these lacerations Impermanence flees to be replaced by an unobstructed hatred For the first time, I see with no face I am the haunting echo of a silent universe A whisper in the wind The dysphoria within Welcoming the Hunter's Mask I close my eyes for the last time Though cold and motionless, I'm still inside And I fear I'm not alone Will you guide me? Even a shattered mirror shimmers in the moonlight You'll take me to the ark
