A cold, dark place is the last destination you wanna be when you're alone
But you invited all your ego deaths openly
Your spine straightens out when expiration comes to collect your failing bones
Your monotone glare is the only answer that they need
May death release your spirit into the wild
May your death be never slow, but ever righteous
Stay underwater forever
The gold insignias that they wear upon their robes
Are symbols to all those that try to stave it off
When they know their ends are inevitable
It's a miscalculation, a sentence
The urge to release your karma as a funeral dirge
To immediately notify your living brethren
That your soul has descended on
In the after, your dead
But your memories still flash
Bright and brilliant
Burst into tears
Your fear has now swallowed you
And you've succumbed
Your hope was only inches away
But you were too scared, to crawl
Before you were here
(When we keep heads down, we can't see what's above the drain)
You assumed travel was your own therapy to heal
You saw spirits, chanting in languages you'd never seen on scrolls
(Just think about where the pipes go)
Or heard on your TV
Every reaper you think
(That cycle that we don't see our claim in, lets your isolation bloom)
That has passed by your door
All died the same way
Anxious and scared, of the unknown
They want to break you
(I DENY)
Rid you
Empty you and strip you of
Your discontentment
Your debt's been phoned in
Your death means less than my disappointment in you
The black kept you trapped in cages unlit
A miserable existence, traded in
For an eternity of darkened cloaks
And gold insignias
