Exoskeleton Life

The idealistic horrors, go dancing through my heart Pulling my muscles and my veins apart Dancing with demons, I spin in a trance My feet and my legs step to the beat of this dance Under my flesh, the weakness seeps through my skin Poisoning my insides --- making my life the deadliest sin Dizzy and brainwashed, I stop the eternal spinning Feeling the lessons --- in what’s left of my brain --- slowly imprinting Lost and alone, left for dead and deprived Learning this new path --- mistakenly arrived The emptiness and unconsciousness of my exoskeleton shell The lost and forgotten Isle of Nothingness I will dwell The soulless inside of the deepest parts of me Something that not even the oracle could foresee The ever-changing fate that constantly changes in my life Prevents me from being his perfect wife The demons I face on my journey through this life Finds myself around corners of nothing but pain and strife The fiery flames leap up and they lick Hitting the pool balls of my life with a cue stick The damage it scars me deeper everyday The variety of chaos and the colorful array Chained to this life --- going nowhere fast Leaves all of my other options completely unsurpassed So alone I wander through this bottomless pit Because walking in this life right now I’m definitely unfit…
