[asylum]

imagine rising above the ground to see a mountain in the sky
that glows with all the essence we release just as we die
the peak is just a place for you to launch into a lake
where mist hovers over frogs smiling with their fangs
you become a snake when falcons fly and teradactyl morph
from an average bird to dinosaur
then back to a condor right above you in the sky
the memory's a marker for a different part of me that died
it's all up in the helix as it spins and binds it's parts
guided by well practiced hands in final works of art

event horizons leave you frozen but aware
in those moments of terror you're exposed to an error
turning air to liquid fire that's raining bones
you build a ladder with them and climb all the way home
where Earth gently nudged my feet while touching down
pull the moon close with an energy like sound
disintegrate a multiverse with different kinds of bombs
smiling at the fools with a calm collected sigh
knowing they don't have to wait too long to die
we may meet on spiral stairs descending in to hell
where du hast is blasting and sulphurs all you smell
forever burning pyres in pits of fiery tar that swell and spill
down a path where feathers fall up from beneath
engulfing the undead ripping organs gnashing teeth
buildings seem enormous as you shrink down to an atom
taking on the roles of both eden and adam
as a giant drags a battle axe like an oxen with a plow
his other hand digs two fingers in eyesockets of a cow
before he throws it off a pyramid to watch it bounce all the way down

your heart stays pumping in his stomach while your slowly ripped apart
pleasing the dementors with my sepulture's work of art
watch me leading vulture packs unleashed like popping holster clasps
sometime's you have to trim the branches for the health of the tree
atlantis sank to the ocean because one person wouldn't stay underneath
and i couldn't care less if you believed me.

beatles tearing at the dead as they twitch and start to turn
my skins becoming rubbery with heat that doesn't burn
turning into other creatures wasn't what i tried to learn
but my natural life contains some features you wouldn't like in turn
so all i can do is pull my lines.. slowly in
it begins as i integrate in helixes turned with belts of serpentine

churn the melting pot where dark manifests to shape
molds become an idol so God has something he can hate
if you had to love us as a race after going through our wars
staring out from dead eyes as birds of prey begin to swarm
would you greet us with a handshake or a greeting that was warm
does he stop to see the sunset for a moment
from the viewpoint of His child
does he slip into a nothingness or an army we compile
am i simply from a vial ?
binding chromosome with neighbor
has the suffering from being different earned us any favors

skeletons in wedding dresses shrieking in a loop
death spiraling to a nothingness that's not quite absolute
a women with mostly muscle showing stares from her car
one glance leaves you dying slowly until it all fucking restarts
and THEN you lose your juice
but you earn it down in hell when burning death releases truth

i would raise my arms up to both side and feel the earth
which raised my arms without my muscles being urged
my staff could pass through my body without it being hurt
and it would come back to me before stolen by a thirst
being one with Earth and star is easy when you understand them
knowing one another won't be doing something underhanded
leaves the bond between the foundry and the soldier strong
the sword wont be sharp too long after the soldiers gone
i'm honored to remember singing an interstellar soldiers song
before the screeching of a black hole we've never gotten over
i've lived along with people who lived under different suns
swimming with our fins and gills we traded in for lungs
they dive with me into a whale to claim all i lost the day i was overcome

it's never over and done when battlefields still smolder from the pain
reshaping entire landscapes from death in storms of mortar rain
morbid pain infests your soul and leaves nails stuck in the coffin
clawing your way back to air for tokens from the bokurs coffers
pray you keep them closer often

offer penance to the beast that tried to turn your demons into slaves
or rotten fingers break the soil after digging from the grave
bone shows from scratching words in walls i've written on this page
not a wicken or a mage nor wicked in my ways
instinct is to invade engagements with evasive action
until you find me swatting tanks with stretching arms in raging madness
imagine running at warp speed through a battle in the past
trees flying by and bullets ripping at you as you laugh
focused on the mission arms reaching out twisting into ropes
that whip and expose a weakness i hit
prolly shouldnt even speak of this shit
but this secret i give you in hopes you take the bait
and try to question me outside my inner space

invasive instances give distinct patterns where extinction lives
to drink of this is wool filling up my wicker baskets
where cobras crawl out from the depths of hell sickened by its madness
before slow motion slithering in backwards
my visions of the after defy the explanation of physics
and i must say this explanations exquisite
there's places time slows and almost stands still
dancing with the darkness in nature's landfill
traffic stops and businesses close
so far some other witnesses known

dont get soothed for a spell
fuckin with this dude down in hell
i'm tellin you man
you can't mess with plans made this well in advance
