Teething

Never in one place
Always one to stray
The same complacent stride
The same dying embrace
Onto every pyre
And each creeping face

Everyone's headstrong
But I can't keep my head on straight
Corrosive in manner
The way nothing heals

The tightening around your throat
With every gasp of air
It burns to inhale

Each spree depletes
Retreating subtleties
Become devitalizing

In nature
In sequencing
People all around me
But no one was ever listening
Sneaking in
This crucial influence
The truth in all of this
There is no understanding

In the heedless
In the meaningless
Nothing ever grows
Narrowing endlessly
Shattering in carried winds
Typically decrepit
Too difficult to make it through

All given circumstances
Lead down this futile line
It breeds endless pain
Never-ending pain
Every step in it's wake
The dying embrace

Replacing birth
Desecrating remains
TEETHING FRANTICALLY
Can't seem to keep my head on straight
Headfirst into this dying embrace
It will claim and erase

Can't seem to keep my head on straight
Headfirst into this dying embrace
It will claim and erase
