Blessed - Kataplexis

A sculpted sacred altar

A place where thoughts consume

A wish turns into ashes

My company

Is hate

This bark won’t peel off my wounds

Distrust

Wall my way to suffocate

I hear the heretic calling

He carries me away

Shattered into a thousand insects

Of disbelief

This taste

Will never leave my mouth now

Suffer

While my sanity mocks me

He refused to embrace it and I struck him down

It blessed me with sight

I could not look away

Open every door

Let the light shine in

Close all contact

High council in your mind

Used to be a man with dreams

Desires and aspiration

Now all I welcome is agony

My thoughts swarm to them

The vastness of this place

A second sacred home

Make my thoughts falter

Snapped under the weight

Black light

Is the only light I can see now

Down here

Smothered with my thoughts clinging to life

I fought a thousand serpents

I tread on holy ground

My minds contamination

A sacred second home
