Blistering cold Human lepers scratching the door The isolation warms A welcome sense of cabin fever A draconian sense of ecstasy Reviewing this pale existence An outsider's perspective Tainted and distorted Drawn into threads of life A pawn in wretched games This collective breeze of steaming anguish Corrupting my path A garden of truculence awaits The abhorrence of the world outside these doors Elusive cures for wretched tears The absence of all humanity Driven to destruction Becoming one in your mold Lowering myself to pointless battles Losing all sense of self The transparency of devious words The obscenity of human discourse Enslavement in a torn creation An arena for the futile Aspirations beyond the mundane Construction of thoughts anew The collapse of illusory dreams And the bitter disappointment The sour taste of corrosion and defeat A bleak outcry upon weathered ears Relive the anguish Paint the walls with spite Allow the bitterness To cripple the last will
