SPIRIT SEVERED
A CRUEL ENDEAVOR
AN EMPTINESS WE ALL FEEL
DISTANT COUSIN
TO WHICH NOW DOESN’T
QUITE MEASURE UP IN APPEAL
YOU’RE RIGHT ON TIME
AS WAS EXPECTED
TO REALIGN
SOULS DISCONNECTED
KINDNESS DOES NOT COME WITHOUT FEES
HEALING HANDS - A PRICELESS COMMODITY
ENTER MY REALM
DO NOT DECLINE
A GIFT NOT FROM THE HEAVENS,
BUT THE MIND
SACRILEGIOUS
OR SIMPLY INGENIOUS
WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE
HIS ASCENT
YOU’LL ACCEPT HIS
BLESSING, “IT’S SHOW BIZ”
YOU CAN SAVE YOUR COMMENTS
YOU’RE RIGHT ON TIME
AS WAS EXPECTED
YOU RESISTED
BUT THEN RELENTED
HELPS YOU PART WAYS WITH YOUR CURRENCY
NOT TO BLAME, A CLASSIC STRATEGY
ENTER MY REALM
DO NOT DECLINE
A GIFT NOT FROM THE HEAVENS,
BUT THE MIND
THE PAGAN BISHOP’S GREETING YOU, ALL SMILES
TO GIVE YOU LIFE
AND YOU WILL PAY IN KIND
SO WHAT WILL IT BE?
WE ACCEPT CARDS, NATURALLY
ENTER MY REALM
DO NOT DEFILE
A GIFT NOT FROM THE HEAVENS,
BUT THE SKIES
THE PAGAN BISHOP’S GUIDING YOU INSIDE
TO TAKE YOUR LIFE
AND YOU WILL PAY IN KIND

LIES WE TELL OURSELVES UPON
REACHING NEWFOUND LOWS
WE’D ERASE, IF WE KEPT AN EYE ON
ONE OF OUR MANY GOALS
HERE’S A WELL KNOWN PIECE OF ADVICE
OR A PROVERB, TO BE PRECISE
“OUT OF SIGHT
OUT OF MIND”
IN OUR MIDST, A TRAITOR, SURELY
WOULD EXPLAIN IT ALL
A WITCH HUNT BEGINS IMMATURELY
TO RID US OF OUR FAULTS
HERE’S A WELL KNOWN PIECE OF ADVICE
OR A PROVERB, TO BE PRECISE
“TWO WRONGS
DON’T MAKE A RIGHT”
IN THE END WE’VE BEEN DECEIVED
BY SEEING WHERE EACH ROAD MAY LEAD
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR PRECIOUS ADVICE
JUST ANOTHER ILLFOUND DEVICE
LECTURES WILL NOT REVERSE OUR LOSS
IF ALL ELSE WILL REMAIN IGNORED
HEED THIS WARNING FOREVER MORE
“DROWNING MEN
WILL CLUTCH AT STRAWS”
WITHOUT DELAY
SET IT STRAIGHT
IMMOLATE
THE NAYSAYERS OF TODAY
WITHOUT DELAY
UNIQUELY BRIGHT
OUR KING TONIGHT
WHO CLAIMS
WE COULD BE ALL, BE ANYTHING
THE FINAL SAY
OR HAVE YOU FORGOT?
THE MOST TREASURED ADVICE
WHICH I SAVED, KNOWING YOU WOULD NOT
THE FINAL SAY
AND, AS IT WAS,
NOT ALL WHO HESITATE ARE LOST

AS HIDDEN PESTS
BURROW UNDER CLOTH
WE CAN’T RESIST
SPOILING OUR BROTH
THE RICHES GLEAM SO FAIR
PARADISE IS WHERE
WE DECIDE WE HAVEN’T HAD ENOUGH
VIRULENT DISEASES
ENTER HALLS BENEATH US
AMONG FILTHY LITTLE CREATURES
SLEEPING WITH THE SILVER
REACHING SHORES
WE ARE WELCOMED HOME
NO-ONE ASKED FOR
WHAT’S HIDDEN DEEP BELOW
TRANSMISSION NOW OF SORTS
THE GOLD HAS CHARMED OUR LORDS
WE ARE DOOMED TO REAP
WHAT WE HAVE SOWN
CROSS-COUNTRY PANDEMIC
POPULATIONS HALVING
DANCING FILTHY LITTLE RODENTS
UNDER ARCHES WHICH ARE GOLDEN
CAN’T BELIEVE
NO ONE HAD YET RETRIEVED
A GEM SO PURE
(SLITHER INSIDE TO STEAL YOUR BREATH)
YET IT SEEMS, OUR CELEBRATION’S BEEN PREMATURE
(CALL ME THE PLAGUE, OR JUST BLACK DEATH)
PULL US DOWNWARDS
LEAVING NARY A TRACE
GUESS IT’S COMMONPLACE
TO BELIEVE LIKE SHEEP
THAT WE WILL BE SAVED
FROM THE END OF THE HUMAN RACE
FROM THE END OF
FINAL CRESCENDO
CAN’T BELIEVE
NOW THAT I FINALLY
UNDERSTAND
(SLITHER INSIDE TO TAKE WHAT’S LEFT)
EXIT ME, ERADICATION SEEMS
TO RULE THE LAND
(CALL ME THE PLAGUE, OR JUST BLACK DEATH)
PULL US DOWNWARDS
LEAVING NARY A TRACE
GUESS IT’S COMMONPLACE
TO BELIEVE LIKE SHEEP
THAT WE WILL BE SAVED
FROM THE END OF THE HUMAN RACE

WOULD YOU HANG ON TO
SOMETHING YOU CAN’T DESERT?
OR WRITE IT OFF AS
MORE TROUBLE THAN IT’S WORTH?
A FLEETING THOUGHT I
DO ADMIT
A POTENT POISON,
DISTINCT
BECAUSE, HONESTLY, IT
HITS ME CLOSE TO HOME
IS IT REALLY LOVE OR STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?
WOULD YOU CARRY ON,
ENDURE THIS ENDLESS ROAD?
OR WOULD YOU STEP ASIDE
AND ENJOY THE SHOW?
A TEMPTING OFFER,
AN OFF SWITCH
IGNORED UNTIL I
CURE THIS ITCH
THE ONLY THING WHICH
HITS ME CLOSE TO HOME
IS IT REALLY LOVE OR …
OUT OF MY CONTROL?
IS IT REALLY LOVE OR STOCKHOLM SYNDROME?
JUST WHAT HAVE I SACRIFICED UP TO NOW?
SOMEHOW
IT AMOUNTS TO NOTHING IN MY OWN EYES
IN MY MIND
I RECALL FEELING SATISFIED WITH MUCH LESS
WHAT A MESS
THE BELIEF, THAT THIS IS SOMETHING I WOULDN’T MISS
I NEED THIS
A BONA FIDE
SANCTIMONIOUS
SENSE OF PRIDE
HANGING UNTO THIS
GLORIFIED
AND OH SO OBVIOUS
HOLE INSIDE
DISGUISED AS AVARICE
YOU’VE EARNED
MY ADMIRATION
YOU LIVE
CONVICTION FREE
YOU’VE ALLOWED
THAT FLEETING THOUGHT
TO TAKE HOLD
BUT NOT ME

Sated
04:10
|

|
OUT OF THE COLD,
SAFE FROM THE STORM
TEMPTED BY SHELTER
SAFETY AND WARMTH
NO FEAR, NO PAIN
AND NOTHING LEFT FOR ME
TO ATTAIN
WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT STRIFE?
FRUITS OF MY LABOR,
I REAP WHAT I'VE SOWN
CONVINCED THAT I'M SATED,
MY DREAMS ARE ON HOLD
NO PLAN, NO GOALS
AND NOWHERE LEFT FOR ME
TO GO
STILL I CAN'T HELP,
BUT REFLECT AND PONDER
LOOKS LIKE ABSENCE MAKES
THE HEART GROW FONDER
NO AIM, NO END
JUST AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF TIME TO EXPEND
WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT STRIFE?
AN UNVOICED SENSE OF REGRET
HOLLOW INSIDE
KNIGHT'S ARMOR
ANOTHER ME, UNMET
CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER
WHAT DID I DO
TO DESERVE THIS?
I SHOULD BE SATISFIED,
NOT DETERMINED
ALL MY HARD WORK
SHOULD GUARANTEE BLISS
BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL THAT SOMETHING'S AMISS
WHAT DID I DO
TO DESERVE THIS?
I SHOULD BE SATISFIED,
BUT SOMETHING'S AWRY
AS HUMAN, AS MAN,
I CANNOT DENY
EVEN BEASTS OF THE WILD
ARE FUELED BY STRIFE
AN UNVOICED SENSE OF REGRET
TEAR THIS SHELL ASUNDER
ANOTHER ME, IN IT CREPT
SET OFF INTO THE YONDER
