CYCLICALITY

by Acid

/
1.
ALPHA 11:51
Spit me out from the sky Into shackles to bleed me dry Fresh consciousness ripe for the mold Fill me up just to be sold Off to them, the greedy and unwise Filled with hate and deceitful lies Implanted into my brain From a place of love without refrain The first timid steps into a world of unfathomable horrors and comforts, elation and ecstasy, sorrow, loss, hatred and bliss. Ripped from the void and thrust into the arms of the ever-turning wheel of fate, just to begin the cycle anew.

GROWTH 11:55
Eyes open wide looking towards the sky Mind open wide searching for a light Heart open wide unbroken by life
3.
TOIL 13:56
Another grey morning dawns on the same day. Rise. Toil. Sleep. Repeat. Sacrifice my flesh, blood, my tears, and my soul for pennies and dimes. My skin grows thick and tough, a reflection of my heart and mind. As my fingers crack and fall apart, so do my dreams and desires. What is left for me here as the grey morning dawns once again. Own. Me. Crush. Me. Break. Me. Erase. Me. Own. Me. A slave to toil Without a goal A slave to toil Rape my soul

HATE 01:07

HARMONY 10:37
Broken and empty I crawl to you Bathe me in your light Your life pours into me The deepest pains Begin to fade My calloused heart softens I am blinded by your grace I am blinded by your grace
6.
OMEGA 11:20
Impermanence, and the ever approaching call of the void. We do the best we can, for who we can when we can And in the end there is happiness and fulfillment. There is always suffering, malignancy, and ill-will towards men But there is also always someone who will stand beside you. Ultimately, once you have found a reason to go on, Something to fight for, And discover faith in your own identity, Contentment will be always be with you.

about
