Face To Face With Mortality
"Face To Face With Mortality"
Pressed under my own weight
Repeatedly cleaning off the same slate
Another beginning from a different position
Fucked up beyond all recognition
Remembering the last and the first
Giving back my best and my worst
Unfulfilled promises have led me astray
A night so long it's like it's here to stay
A broken moment of history to share
A second within a vivid nightmare
Manageable but frightening nonetheless
Lightning strikes twice when my fear is undressed
Alive longer than I sometimes care to be
Darkening the spaces between phrases of heresy
Momentarily blinded by subliminal temptation
Pulled into the technological implementation
Partially removed from what I see in front of me
Sent to be a branch of another identity
Playing tug-of-war with descendents of hatred
Trying to live up to all I have stated
Prepared for my falls in my attempt to evolve
A new question involves another problem to solve
The similarities of what I do and don't deserve
The obstacles in the road of purpose I serve
Blocking the view of the window through the sky
Temporarily diverted by the illusions and lies
A small preview of what's to come
Several battles to overcome
Gaining the strength to stand alone at the end
Without expectation or any time to pretend
If I'm worthy it's not for me to decide
I guess I'll find that out when I die
