Coffin Whispers

Down shadows,
Coffin whispers
Walking through a swamp 
In concrete slippers
The game of extinction 
a delicate state
Balanced a tear
On a needle of hate
Nothing escaped the great divide
Forced breath
A stifled cry
In the vacuum of space
We are slowly erased 
Rejected from Earth
Gravity failed
Hope stranded in an angry sea
With tattered sails we sailed
The same old song
Echoes within silence
The fascination of violence
Meant to be shocking
Effectively mocking
The sensibility of individuality
Bleached into conformity
The seeds of apathy 
Molting incessantly 
Love silhouetted on a canvas of black
Punctured hearts bleeding into the crack
On the frozen, dejected ground
The winter of discontent
Was the season 
that brought us all down
