Filth

Abusing your substance your wreckage rusts quicker
In heat rising skywards in spirals of suicide
Tearing out your eyes to see in old light
Ashes in your throat chokes you and your words
And what of you my only father?
Lost his way some years ago
Now burdens his own shoulders
With the guilt he smothers in grey.
Broken family.
Darkness is colder (than your hearts)
My light is deeper (than your souls)
My mind is older (than your years)
I am nothing without you
Freezing… blinding…pure — Breaking stone.
Freezing… blinding…pure — Welcome Home
Over and beyond the ruin of your soul
You claw and scratch out existence in this earth
Bleeding and choking and strangling and freezing
You made us. Choke on it.
