Favorite Quote:
And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you


AND IN THE WAKING HOURS I LIE
HELD PRISONER BY EVERY-THING AND
EVERY-ONE
CHAINED TO THE NOTION OF SANITY AND
LEASHED TO THE IDEAS OF PURPOSE


AND AFTER THOSE WHO FIND PEACE IN SLEEP
RELEASE THEIR GRIP FROM MY NECK
THE ABSTRACTION OF THE NIGHT
BECOMES MY WORLD


IN THE SILENCE OF THE STARS I AM FREE
IN THE ABSENCE OF THE LIGHT I AM FREE
AND ALONE IN MY OWN THOUGHTS AND FEARS—
I AM FREE


BUT WITH THE WAKING OF THE SUN
I REATTATCH MY RESTRAINTS
TO CONCEAL THE ABERRATION THAT
IS MY EXISTANCE
-

AND I DREAD THE WAY I MUST CONFORM
ANTICIAPTING THE RELEASE THAT IS NIGHTFALL ONCE MORE
