Perfecting the Void - Solution .45

When built the damage done

The all-absorbing eye

With ball and chain

Against the grain

Where lost tomorrows die

Feeding storm

Yet the walls still stand

Changing form

King of nothing on a throne of sand

Can’t break out of this maze

Said to leave a deep trace

Once designed

What’s been fought since day one

In a war never won

Now defined

This deadweight of the soul

A state of seige upheld

The worlds I weave

Of make-believe

In waking dreams expelled

The more the truth distorts

The less the mind’s a blur

Thought correction

Resurrection

Patching up the future

Feeding storm

Yet the walls still stand

Changing form

King of nothing on a throne of sand

Can’t break out of this maze

Said to leave a deep trace

Once designed

What’s been fought since day one

In a war never won

Now defined

Void of anguish

Nourished by isolation

And self-deception

Subconsciously I must have felt

As awe and dread increased

My nightmares would soon all be so vivid and visible

The punishment came to strike

As the roots come undone

Bit by bit

One by one

Ripping out any chance of control

Life is caught

In a haze

Preying on rainy days

Giving rise to a shell of a soul

Watch fate take wing

As the roots come undone

Bit by bit

One by one

Ripping out any chance of control

Life is caught in a haze

Preying on rainy days

Giving rise to a shell of a soul

What thrives in hiding

And on fear

Is making itself known like doubt in the clear

A shared illusion

Shown and destroyed

The error perfecting the void

Can’t break out of this maze

Said to leave a deep trace

Once designed

What’s been fought since day one

In a war never won

Now defined
