Kill it now
Don't mourn it later
Deny your pain
Hope for numbness
Make yourself hated
You won't have to love
Abandon your tower
Run to yourself
Forsake the shame
Embrace the complacent
Condemn yourself exile
Sing terribly afar *
Dreaded nightmares
Become forgotten dreams
Flickers of wonder
Default to apathy
This is the way our world ends
Not with a bang but a scissor *
