Slipstream Annihilation

I have forgotten the pain of not
Having a name to dignify (dignify)
Numb from the freezing light of your indifference

Despite my cries to be afflicted by any other disease
Left quivering in the vicinity of release

Nothing but a walking husk
A shadow of what had never been
But could come to be if you ever loved
Anyone as much as your vice
Left to envision what I can’t possess
Blinded by your inability to love

Every time I extend my hand
You sink lower to the bottom
Not even desperate
I’ve mourned you for 20 years
But you never disappear

Not dead but lost
They feel the same (the same)
Not dead but lost
They feel the same

Not dead but lost
What can remain?
Emptiness (emptiness)
Where light cannot stay

I have forgotten the pain of not
Having a name to dignify (dignify)
Madness ascended with a howling blackened storm

Your shadow was piercing through
The reflected lens falling from my face
The last tears of a son
Destroyed but unsurprised

Sink into darkness
Your final light
Sink into darkness
Your final light
