Temporal Punishment

Gripped with consternation

Cold steel is my grave

I traverse constellations

Fearful thoughts run through my head

Do I lie upon my death bed?

Tell me, will this moment be the end of me?

Movements bedim my cage

Shadows enter from the side of my gaze

Movements bedim my cage

Shadows enter, approach my grave

Obsidian eyes

Stare straight into mine

Empty, empathy

No air in these lungs to scream

I've clenched up, it's now impossible to breathe

Instincts to survive, though I wish I could just die, it's a curse now, the burden of life

Turn me off, let me die, bring me suicide

End this, the burden of life

Movements bedim my cage

Shadows enter, experiments engaged

Implementing laser beams to ensure the incisions‘ clean

Never was sedated, even my limbs were amputated, a worm under the scope of despicable beings

I no longer feel gravity embrace me

There's no solace for me

I arch my spine

But paralysis denies

Fuelling the psychotic mind

A stasis state

Days roll by sawn and sewn

Purgatory

Punishment is atonement

It's mandatory

To expiate, temporal punishment for sin

This world's so cold

There's no

Mercy for me

Sentient beings that do not show any traits of cognitive empathy

"Mercy," I plead

Sentient beings that do not show any traits of cognitive empathy

Cut to me, screaming in my bed

Torturous scene happened in my head

This place feels like home but there's something wrong

I watch the shadows creep around me

The shadows approach me
