semblance of confusion

as the light's becoming more fierce

and the heat is melting your heart

the fire is awakening

there's an ancient fear we all know

ominous

misleading

get entangled in yourself

it's a feeling

creeps up

deep within

sweet taste of innocence forgotten

a semblance of confusion

the strength i need is now flowing away

the choking feeling obstructs everything

so erratic in search for the truth

the pain is strong and persists

silence was just a diversion

to come out on the hard truth again

leaving this world of illusions

seen through the eyes of the innocent

confronted with the infinity of chaos

forcing you to rearrange

when your litanies are unheard

fantasm becomes coldly real

there's a thin line between the world of illusion and reality

a purgatoric trip through the mirrors within you

unconsciousness beholden

fear to face past the border of pain

that burning contagion

to break

conquer and find lost beauty

rinse

the penance is over

i know now where to find the answer

confronting unconsciousness
