Disjointed context
The words were merely sounds
Watching as the buildings
Slowly [bad word] to the ground
Thoughts never rendered
Lie dying by the road
Last breath drawn endlessly
Collapsing into smoke
 [bad word] to break free
From life's inequities
The suicide of reason [bad word] the drowning season

Grim repetition
Dour features form a frown
The clock's hand reverberates
Throughout the empty town

De-evolution
Oxidizing the past
The present is uncertain
The future never lasts
The present is uncertain
The future never lasts

Pre-emptive reflex
Split second sanctity
Repeating prayers that somehow
Never got received
