This Is the Movement
Every moment you are conscious of your own decay
Your insides break, collapse upon themselves
Life the hydrogen weapon used to obliterate your body
There is no escape from this
This is the mind breaking, eating away at the delicate fibers of sanity and stability
And soon the muscles and fingers and limbs will begin to twitch,
Whisper to be itched, to move, to take action
Barricade against the calm touchings, the fabrication of Present Life
And in this moment, you swore to conformity
Never again to feel the insects, parasitic ticks crawl,
Crawl beneath the skin and feel them burrow
But they are only dormant now,
Waiting to be awakened through conscious
