Cadaverous Contingency - Dead Hope

Faith in nothing.
Familiar patterns fixate in my mind.
Pulling at the strings that guide my left hand.
Memories fade and give way to time.
Only to crumble beneath opposing heels.
Drive the nails to hold back this oath.
Sacrifice not, we do as we’re told.
Lifeless awake in the grand scheme of dreams.
Reality reveals things left unseen.
Our minds and time, an abyss of awe.
Before creation’s stare.
A truth revealed in the depths of my soul.
Only forgotten, for time takes its toll.
Before creation’s stare. Been here before.
I’ll be damned if I’m here again.
Lifeless awake, we do as we’re told.
I neglect this imposed death bed reap.
Familiar patterns fixate in my mind.
Faith in no one. Reality reveals things left unseen.
Our minds and time, an abyss of awe.
