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
