At The Mercy Of

Eternally awake
Consciousness forever wavering
With the retreat of night
And the onset of day
Delusions merge unto reality
Until unending sleep
I shall remain

Eternally awake
Drifting, shifting
Altered states of consciousness
Fading perception
Fuels amassing deception
Eternally awake forever
Wandering delirium's maze
Nocturnally unfazed
Perennial intellectual haze
Until unending sleep
I shall remain
Eternally awake

Attempting to escape
The clutches of inebriation
I still cannot hide from this
Attempting to evade
Temptation of inebriation
Yet it gives me my name

This accursed depravity

Tremble
Panic before the mass
Glancing once more
Over shoulders past
Fast forward time lapse
Commandeering what shall come to pass
Disengage
Thought through sedation's hypnosis
Anesthetizing the onset of psychosis
Insomnia
I am at thy mercy

Attempting to evade
Temptation of inebriation
Yet it gives me my name
Attempting to escape
The clutches of inebriation
Why i still cannot hide?

Paralysis of mind overtake me
Away from dimensios of reality
Delirium's phase
So short it may be
Yet may its embrace
Once become everlasting

Overtake me
Away to dementias of insanity
Corridors align
For now i see clearly
Bending perceptions
Of what was is and shall be

This accursed depravity
I shall succumb to thee
