As the silence of night descends and the light of day fades
All the monster in the dark corners of my mind emerge
The hunt begins and they are on the prowl
Ghouls and goblins stalk through my memories
Looking for those tender morsels of remorse and regret
To tear apart, releasing spores of anguish and anxiety
Oh, but let them have their fun, let them sate their bloodlust
I am inured, inoculated, insensitized
Having tortured myself for so long, pain is of no consequence
I need no guiding light to find my way through the night
Though stars abound in beautiful constellations
My admiration will never turn into worship
Tickle my skin with your light, hedonist that I am
Yet no siren call will delay my odyssey
My quest through life follows a switchback trail of cause and effect
Never confuse distance with a lack of passion
Even the farthest star is still a sun, radiant in its presence
A heart polished to a mirror shine will only reflect yourself back to you
No, hearts rough and gritty are the ones that will stick
Through the distances of time and place
Causing the trail to double back on itself time and again
Choose for yourself, though, as will I, but I am not mistaken in this
Folly is the gift your gods gave to you
Deny them to deny that gift, or let your righteousness waylay you
Free will is a burden each carries their own way
Be it like a yoked beast of burden, ignorantly suffering
Or like a like a noble prince with his rapier on the hip
To be or not to be was never the question, you pretentious prick
You throw quotes around like a monkey throws its own shit
Remember rather to thine own self be true
Use whatever you may, however you may
Life lived vicariously is more akin to masturbation
Then it ever was sophistication
