Altered States Of Consciousness - Sylosis

All control is lost

Senses deprived

Deaf ears still hear the malign

The altars crumbling

Cloak of obscurity

A crown wrapped tight around you neck

Gaunt hands to hold you back

I’ve seen the world in a new light

No holy shrines

Nothing to resemble eternal life

Now turning back I see

What could have been but never was

A pressure so dense

Upon my chest it could paralyze

Lucid

A mask forced upon me

Impaled by fear

Reaching out to just beyond me

Slipping beneath the tide

Stones drag to the riverbed below

Below

Death is here

And he’s been clawing at my thoughts again

Forever drowning in perdition

Submerged in azure waters
