A Chronology for Survival - Neurosis

The cycles they are clawing

Thrive, wander, then starve

The cycles they are thawing

Dive, wallow, then freeze

Silence

Ripping up through the cracks

The thriving of the doomed

Before the cleanse to dust

Rise, run

Feed, ripen

Wound, wither

Fall, rise again

Taking time by the forelock

A chronology for survival

And a wretched end for the pathetic
