a redemption withered away in the night sky
giving way to the dawn break
a splash of red orange
shadowing the dawn break
into this you try so hard to see
what it is that you want to change
but the more you try
the more you try
the more you want to give up
but wait
there is more
just beyond
what you are looking at
you see in the distance
a white light shrouded
just around a corner
and you run towards it
a false spectrum of memory
you crash into yourself
then you awake in a place of mammoth possibilities
but with all of that potential at your finger tips
you throw it all away
for instant gratification
you stumble down a rose hill
and fall ever so hard into a bush of thorns
the blood trickles down your face
what is this crown you have worn
upon your brow
are you divine now
have you ascended
are you going to save us all
from ourselves
how can you posturize
the false king of humanity
will you guide us into the light
or push us back into obscurity
are your intentions true
have you forgotten your own sins
maybe it is us
who should forgive you
but you don’t care as you run along
shouting revelations to all who will listen
and your congregation follows you
whispered untruths fill your cup
and you laugh along with the hymns
and praise yourself
with a scratched throat
but are you him
are you even you
do you know what this means
what are you trying to prove
with your fake accent
and fake miracles
your stupid face is covered in words of blood
anyone who can read knows what you really are
lost
in your own fading momentum
passing through moments of time
cementing yourself for the fall
of a lifetime
you don’t know your own setup
but you play the role well
and soon it will come to pass
and soon it shall be
one day you will look up
and you shall see
a void of uncompromising light
sucking you in
then spitting you out
as you fall
you will know
just what you have wasted
but it will be too late
for you
for me
for us all
