Wanderer



Blistered and bruised

A man with no destiny to lose

Simply randomizes his existence

Self mutilation however he may choose



A soul selling machine

Nothing truly malignant

Just lacking judgement

And abundant in ignorance



Everything is wounded

All he understands is the hurt

He's already deaf to his own screams

And oblivious to the Earth



His needs are his only focus

But when he lacks necessity

A blank kind of life becomes

An already realized obscenity



Grinded to the bone

A man wasted by time and treachery

Lifted by illusions

Burdened by what he's left to see



A graveyard inviting him in

A sweet sound of burning flesh

A hypnotic wave of rhythm

A blissful lack of distress



Digging a pit into his soul

Where he may lay to sleep

The ground hard and cold

Still allowing the rest he needs



Death can be a comfort

As can pain and the sight of blood

But succuming to these false hopes

May be a devastating loss to a loved someone.
