Beneath This Face — Esoteric

Lies a broken man Festering inside Shades of light pass through this room And remind me There was once a world Outisde of this stricken maze

Only instincts drive on And life Our great teacher Teaches all

Passing through this fetid ship With sickened feeling of what lies within Sporadic thought, spawning its messy web of insanity Living from the heart and breath alone

For emotions determine all that is lost and won here And all that is dear Taken by wind and time

How many times in a lifetime must we break? And have such a need to be strong?

So tired of this feeling Of fighting and living Wrought so completely with pain

Nothing remains But a restless longing for death Hidden, beneath this face
