And You Thought You Knew Pain!

Reverse direction, in all humility, I’ve become extinct
And only now, with grave allegiance
Do I suffer, indifferent, insistent, and prolific?
Thrown forward in time
It’s taken years to compile enough memories to die!

And you thought you knew pain!

Commence distinction
In all things lie a will to fade
Thrust backward in time, forsaken
Any hope worth saving has passed me by

And you thought you knew pain!
What’s put to rest
Infest, insane

I will rot, but it's not
Like I wasn’t already achieving decay

Let’s end today
Forever enrage

I am molting, no longer set apart
Flesh and wood, the dirt feels good
Against my heart
