Adages Pt. 2 (Darkness)
Adages Pt. 2 (darkness)
Everything is spinning
A place so dark with insolence
Ignorance
The trickiest joke for man to bear witness
Soon drawn into it himself
If not one extreme then into the other
This was a man who could have had it all
Instead
Running a race against himself
Driving out the last bit of human
Clinging so desperately
Deep inside his mind
He wonders about the turn of events
Unfolding so slowly around him
A cold creeping
A loss of feeling
He feels so blue
And all that he sees is black
It is spinning
Spinning
So slowly
Too late to turn back
There is only a glimmering now
Of what this man used to be
The smallest of splinters
Of a soul torn to pieces
And it is beginning to understand
The joke that was played on him
