Arrival Is Death

Arrival is Death   

          it don't exist
    not as something else
just a crack in the mirror
  running from itself
 behold the world
   y' are free to learn
       be kind to the animals
          expecting no return
      arrival is death
 expecting no return

    better this way
 I can think of worse
recognition dulls the mind
  take just one time first
      it's the money
  if not that it's lust
they will keep you distracted
   when less could be more than enough
subject to withholding, I'm one for unfolding
              arrival is death

       I'll leave this here
 there's no wait and see
here below the stratosphere
 where dizzy does as dizzy be
taut and distorted, is this what you wanted?
                      arrival is death, expecting no return, 
           I will leave this here, arrival is death
