Born cold and still
Wrapped in futile blankets
All hope cut to shreds
As my husk hangs bare

Aspiring to become
One with the earth
Thankless nutrients
In wait to be absorbed

Soon I will
Make myself plain and clear
No doubt in your mind
Of my intent as we exit this world

Vicious lies
Handed down
Tricked me into life
Trapped in a
Drawn out race
As time crawls in despair

Embrace
Death, the outstretched hand
Death, the true alternative
The first real breath you'll take
Death, the guardian of solace
Death, the waxed tranquility
The first real breath you'll take
And so you'll take

Descend to gleam
As twilight's corruption fades
Utopia apparent
Inertia incarnate

Plagues of character remain
Renewed through twisted glass
Offal extruded for vultures
In death I'm free at last
