Here we stand looking beyond the visages of feigned hope. Outline our fears A system of apologies for a path that will never be clear Our eyes set upon definition: What does it mean to exist? The spaces that define what we mean noumenal and phenomenal realms Lost in the gap in between where we Justify an existence, self-perpetuated persistence And now we stand, firmly planted on a bed of sand, Counting the days that we spend turning the pages In a discontinuous mass of lines and phrases Alpha and Omega, Beginning to end, we search on without a guide Defining the shadows that reside in the mind of the Architect Self-delusions crafting illusions that Creates a kaleidoscope of indiscernible forms This void fills our chests, We burn out, the unrelenting spark of an idea The stale taste of sulfur filling our final breath. Heaving as we actualize our existence And this corporeal plague of paradoxes boils up on my skin, The tormenting lament of this cauldron of doubt.
