i seize what eye sees

Retinas blaze with the hardships of the open seas
I seize what eye sees
Polarized manifestations of happiness ring clear
Optics blinded from youthful intellect, minus wisdom
Indolent gangrenous sores spread like a rogue psychic
Entering the minds of the weak webbed serpents of night

Undulating vibrations seek a shadowy home in canals for tyrannical passage
Furious harbingers of death ride over the swift shifting sands
Without pain there is no consequence to sparse reality
Opportunity finds the adventurer, for he has been classified
The transcendental ego roars to remain true to entitlement

I hope to bring you up with me, to the heavens shining bright
Beneath the sky but before my eyes, we'll reflect amongst each other
Like a blasphemous compass directing the lemmings to their fate
Entranced are the sea-dwellers that lurk in life's tepid waters, alone
Where are the fish to feed the dying souls of the corrupted wanderers?

Just as you've requested, the feast has arrived, though the gusts of spirit move onward
To the next party to cross the line and finish what's been left to die
In the ghastly graves of many misers who've hindered all processions
The progress made towards the tooth of the repented savior have been halted
I hope you have made additional plans, maps are never too accurrate

Do not speak or shout
Eat quickly and fully
Die slowly and empty-handed
Use all of your resources
Just don't be yourself
I'll be someone else
So close it's invisible
To the naked eye of truth

Gripped in my hand there is a flask
What's inside you mustn't ask
If we begin to ride our path short
The life we resolve will coldly abort

If hazy fog has clouded your immaculate vision
Beware the clandestine dogs proudly ready to imprison
Open up your luminous doors, steadfast shopkeeper
There are those waiting for signs from the shadowy reaper
Doors open like mouths shut for listening
Babies immobile down for a christening
