Endarken - Dead and Buried

Dead and buried
---------------
.
I divorce the actions from the 
words you speak and find you're 
living two different lies.
.
Peel back the lid, now, air your grief -
you are only haunted by what you denied.
.
Can we be free of both corruptions? You know
they're disruptions we can't need; these 
mass-produced dramatic productions the 
final vestige of the weak and guilty -
.
Though it may have shut me up, it 
never fooled me, though it may take the 
heat off, you still lie so pitifully,
irrevocably immersed, 
lost in your misery. 
.
Crash now! Hit the bottom; 
don't lose your momentum nor 
abandon your descent; 
.
Risk finding truth: there's more to life 
if you just work hard like the rest.
.
It was in secret you scorned my 
desires, in cowardice doubted my design -
I believe you to be the better artist
but your portfolio pales to mine.
.
I set my sights high as the stars,
beyond the realms of what i see.. 
.
..do you scoff at me?
.
I look to the stars, yet still fall 
short, I'm only halfway down...
.
You look to the clouds, yet disappoint;
you're six feet under the fucking ground.
.
.
