Paroles de Engravings

Days blur together Fading in obscurity Nightmare of my mind Tortured by reminiscence Haunted by bittersweet memories As acid rain corrodes and drains Rendered engravings impose woeful shame Gracefully fierce with a tone that abrades Lacing a trait that sinks and fades Chasmal and eternal They dispel vitality Compulsive and incessant They deprave morality Like a stigma burned into the hide of an animal They exemplify enslavement to an infallible malefactor As I drift withdrawn from a state of solace A blanket of haze is sought with haste Beneath an ephemeral shelter of crimson cirrus I am transfixed by grace until impaled and displaced
