An outlandish performance, an array of misread hints A somewhat peculiar creation, more so a poorly presented imitation of functioning human sensation Coming on with insistent repetition, a domineering condition with no sign of remission Quivering on the edge I relapse in silence Preoccupied with emotional, neurotic violence Set aflame, embers and sparks flee from the heart Past the bright blur are gashes, scars and whip marks Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, cement sinking, tight binding Visions flashing, coming and going, voices continuously flowing Terror pangs up ahead luminously glowing Bring on my worst fears bouncing between my ears like pecking birds or a loved one's coldly spoken words I envy brain matter floating in jars Just the thought, true detachment, tear me apart This flesh and bone I cannot claim as my own I relate more to overgrown moss covered stones I do not have a more efficient way to explain my universe is mostly comprised of trails of gray and me, myself am not much more than deadweight
