Shattering Illusion

It's a sensation quite like dying
In a world that's just pretend,
When the glass that is your dwelling shatters
At a hearty rocky end.

It's a thought of saddened blisters
Upon your calloused hand
It's emptiness and loathing giants
Wreaking havoc on the land

Finding calm in agony
I feel your frightened stare
And I know that just not looking
You can let go without a care

It's the knowing that your out there
When the world is looking dim
And the feeling of abandoned wonder
That coats your mouth with phlegm

Sharing in a harmless moment
I can lock it all away
And handing out a cup of timeless
You have forgotten what to say.

Showing in a dismal diagram
That truth can not be sought
You shudder and I laugh quite loud
At the chilling shadows brought

A slowly shifted pit of anger
In sweet agonies reverie
Is only melting and disheartened
And she'll call the calvary

Screaming your misgotten fears
And hovering in lust
You truly know about the theme
That's lying in the dust

Quivering in your hearty mess
You wonder where I've been
And you write it off as judgement
And never speak here again

Lies have twisted up your light
And rinsed you down a drain
And as the dying grass drinks dew drops
You find it very plain

Unnerving and unjustified
You break free from your past
Sprained and running for your life
You're falling pretty fast

I can't believe the casualty
In which you shred your face
And if I was a disbeliever
I'd put you back in place

You are running out on me
I can't imagine why
And though I go on only laughing
You run out and cry

Shattered in your glory tribute
I have sang a song
A tune that you couldn't stand
But I see nothing wrong

Can you feel the dying happen
Deep within your soul
And if I went on non-believing
Would death still take its toll

I have questioned my own fate
One night when you were drunk
And when I chopped the bits and pieces
I hid them in the trunk

I have lived inside of you
But now I'm breaking free
And you will have to only forgive
Lifes deep insanity

Cause a little mass destruction
To take into your grave
And beat upon the resolution
Have a real close shave

I can see the saddened clamor
Deep within your mind
And while you're eating disarray
You'll taste another kind

Help me oh sweet charity
And help me to see clear
My walls have tumbled down around me
And it's your face I fear

Dying is your own response
You find it's all pretend
And now that I have closed my eyes
You've stumbled to the end.
