Light out…
Dawn like a faulty clock stuck to dusk
As darkness awoke slumber -
Pillowed by nightmarish mares.
We can no longer tell the difference.
Friendly pests, raised a lullaby
Mused by blood-spattered pain;
They joy in glutton’s delight,
Until restless hands put them to sleep.
Yet, the music streamed on.
Light on…
Sight once sane in the shadows,
Now blurred in daylight’s fury.
Day becomes a kind of night
And night, a kind of day,
But we still can’t tell the difference.
And as truth begins to sprout,
Light out.

It seldom starts suddenly,
It starts like this
Just like this,
Then the clothes are torn
And to the streets you take.
Madness comes gradually
