You Who Has Never Slept

The vessels of your sin
The shamed you've broken down
They will not bear your burden
They will not bear one
Shred of your disgrace

Bow, and open yourself to what is to come
For I have lost my youth and joy
For I languish inside of sadness
For my heart is full of scorn

I pray you, disloyalty
Blowing through the streets & the valleys
Of my restless mind
Of my eldritch thoughts
Of my uncertainty

Apathy claws at our doors
Talons made of burdens and blights
Scratching, mawing, persistent
All we care for is rotten and rich

It shall devour
I'm no better
Torn of the same cloth
Shrouded in ignorance and flesh

Let it in
Apathy claws at our doors, let it in

I awoke with the resolve to move a mountain
I want to be like those before me
Who screamed into the great unknown
Saying "we will not stand for this."
We will not be bystanders, we will not stand idly by
Sleep soundly, tread lightly you who has never slept
