You came here
From a feeling of falling
In a place where nothing is true
Close your eyes and forget your name
From nightmare to the utmost precipice of hope, we are strangers at the Abyss
Born again through the strange beauty of creativity
I can see by the look that you have in your eyes
That you are searching for something else
The luring light of fire in the night
The flaming endless shapeless bottomless lawless spectrum of who we are or who we aren’t, if we’re anything at all
A torch is lit for the outsider
Tonight we live! And tonight, we shall die!
Without meaning, answers, and truth we will wander across the plains of the unknown in joyous celebration of this life beneath the sun to the endless void of possibilities
Now; hold my hand as we let go
