Arbitrary Asylum

Entombed in every broken soul looms a light-forsaken place contorting, breaking, taking toll leaving scars without a trace Twinkle, twinkle little light where are you heading to tonight? Mirrors mirror lock and key when the warden sets the pace and everybody not on edge is taking too much space Twinkle, twinkle light of morn my edges frayed my fabric torn Your mind implies selective order Stop struggling let new worlds emerge unpleasant, unproductive dreams obstruct your duty to cohere Wake at the sound The padding looks peculiar here Prowling patterns haunting hues While from a different realm it turns Its dull yet lurid screws Beyond the creeping shadows roam Our torments intertwine I rave I crave to tear it down Be their friend and dance Each inmate died within these walls and trails the padding all alone A maze of pain if wandered once Releases nevermore Step away now And still you resist the cold voice of reason In God's name I will slaughter the savage in your soul You are the last You are my masterpiece Count the animal's legs and prepare to suffer its claws Cascading darkness beckoned A serpentine line joined the lost As one leaves another may arrive In this world at last Truly the last As bones return to dust and skin crumbles to ash From sanguine soil only insanity will bloom When you have neither won nor lost And you are not alive or dead the only wish worth waiting for is for the clock to reach its end
