Behind blind eyes,
Synaptic silence
Apocalypse
Eclipsing dawn

Obscured by tears
Bled from inside,
The drowning dream
That comes to life
When we wake

Behind blind eyes,
The spinal cord contortion
Is strangling and
Entangling life and death

One whispered wish
Choked out at last
Unbreathing,
Seething dread sets in

Deceiving my senses,
Believing the lie
Revealing, releasing
Through clenched eyes torn wide

Behind blind eyes
Inflamed by fears,
Old scars defleshed
Refresh the screaming dirge

The hollowpoint
Hallucinations guide,
Dividing day and nightmare
Intertwined

Never know
He light,
Too dim to show
The way
Written red,
The path
A narrow line now

So denied
The sight
That points the road
Ahead
Deeper still,
Grows wide
To spiral down"

So alive,
The fire
That marks the sign
Below
The embrace
So cold
Despite the flame

The shadows fade
Like shedding skin
The vortex drags
The sunlight back inside

An inner storm
Released at last
The tempest spins
Confined within the eye
