Aspect: Distortion

Location

Dismantle, mental error misapprehended
Visual morphine drowning youths in reviling concatenation
Aching spawn from basest nature corrupts to no end
Catastrophic indulgence consumes this gluttony
 
Starving monsters filter into my eyes
Trapped in hindrance untold
Enslaved to the man beneath the edge
Oblivion mounts, beckoning and salivating
 
Pulling, prying, pacing, paling
Right into your fading admonitions
The precursor to an intimate homicide
Infinite in receding; finite but desertifying
 
Terror inflicts sorrow unknown to reason
Ration is drunk with hash and brine
Slash and dine; slash and dine
 
The final harp sings the toll of living misery
Hope feigned for subtle annihilation
Beneath the surface a spider clings
 
Dante faints for a horror less diluted
Burning in the unyielding solitude
Teeth set on edge of steel
 
There is no comfort here 
But the never-ending song
Of Sirens unmasked
The fatal soliloquy
