Dichotomy Dichotomy of soul Crumbling at my feet Limited time and limited bodies The walls fell around my mind again today And the scent of a ghost filled me with decay Immaculate affliction Pureness of insanity What clarity pain brings Perpetual schizophrenia pulling all the wrong strings Tears dance on the walls like so many misfortunes Vanishing hopes in a self made wilderness Experienced desires for brief moments like rain running across the train windows I can still remember you and I'm afraid of my own company But it's safer at night I'll break down in the shadows And Sleep it off again And face The horror and judgement of another day |
