The Myths of Lies

Deflecting the light, 
you stand in dark, 
to find the truth.

To find the truth, 
you stand in dark, 
deflecting the light.

The numbers had failed. 
The numbers. A prayer 
for my zero.

For my zero, I walked 
whole life. 
Whole life. Zero.

Pardon my dust, 
I was collecting 
for my black hole.

From dust to dust.
