Array ( [sid] => 41969 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => i am Beyond [time] => 2004-04-06 01:02:33 [hometext] => wrote while listening to [bodytext] => her pale flesh stretched
taut on her skull
as she screamed at me
once more to "run"

but it was too late
like rain
or tiny fingers from the sky
it swallowed me
slowly and tenderly
like the rolling wave of climax

when they let me see
i could actually feel the white
on me, inside of me
tainting every piece of my Nothing
and when they finally let me see
they never let me close my eyes again

they stole my sleep
no Coma to comfort me now
and always the whispers
inside and out
they came from everywhere
and told me terrible things
lies that i soon started to believe
ideas that i had fought so long
simple truths that i could not handle

the shaking started long ago
i'm always cold, even as i sweat
they paint the bugs that crawl on me
to match my fading skin
so that i cannot see them
only feel them prowling my flesh
they intend to drive me mad

i've watched the others come and go
it's usually the lack of sleep
or the bugs that get them
few last more than two days
but i won't break
i won't let them win
i can go on forever
because they started far too late

white noise or a bastard flute
rings through out the "center"
a maddening pitch
that makes my teeth grind
but my shaking smile never falls
and my glazing eyes won't close
for i am perpetual now
i am Beyond

now they come with pain
alien tools that distort the mind
multi-legged chips planted beneath my skin
shuffling memories, rearranging my thoughts
i'm no longer alone
even inside my head

holographs now
the room is now a graveyard
filled with the past
mutilated replicas of friends and family
are paraded before me
then carelessly thrown into holes
covered with ashes and human waste
all the time crying for me
begging me to just let go
and save them

but i remain
a shadow of my former self
weak and trembling
but still unyielding
for i am perpetual now
i am Beyond

and now the worst
they bring her before me
she is crying
terrified
they abuse her in disgusting ways
taking their turns
over and over
and when they exhaust themselves
they let the machines have her
in a morbidly enchanting symphony
of torn flesh and engorged chrome

i can't stop the tears
when i see that she's died
too small, too frail
couldn't bear the abuse
but even her death doesn't stop them
they plod on with greater passion
dismembering her
each toying with a different piece of my love

now time has lost it's feeble hold
on the joke of reality
everything comes unglued
the physical world literally falls apart
shattered like a childhood dream
and beyond everything that i was shown
i see the true "everything"

it's endless out here
truly endless
the ground is a grey dust
that stretches farther than the miles i've trod
never so much as a ripple
to break the monotonous horizon
in the sky
there are no stars, no planets
nothing
no color
not white or black or anything
for it is simply a Void
stretching out to the ends of the endless

and i walk alone here
marching on in shame
knowing that i have succumb
tormented by the fact
that my failure was too late to save her
i broke
i died
for nothing

i walk alone here
in this hell
and i will walk alone forever
for my pain is perpetual now
