Churning in these tempest tides, ebbing towards decay
Foundations desecrated by impiety
Languished, forlorn, unable to maintain
Encompassed by despondency

I'm drowning
My toils proving vain
Darkness swallowing my will to breath, I'm gasping

Labored cries reflect the failure of an ingrown life
Enslaved to the nature of contradiction
Controlled by desires that subvert hallowed intention
Enveloped in incompletion, void, barren, destitute

This emptiness within me leaves me ever searching

Yearning for purpose and contentment
Striving to supplement the pervading depravity

Senseless, my life's lost in shadow
Failure to see beyond the ashes

Downward spiral of insignificance masked by escapist indulgence in impropriety
Despair abated by over stimulation of momentary pleasure
Willful furtherance of eternal separation
