Lichen

Suffering
Is the only noble way
Mark the lines
Of a lichen covered ego

Cast a shadow that follows us home
A flash of light scatters hope
Find what we need in the bottom of a well
Descend the winding stairs, not a being to tell

Face to face with eternity
What I feel is draped in certainty

(Godless)

Entangled in strength is a thread of spite
And what road you take won't affect mine
I'm at the bottom of the pit but I see myself win
Every choice made is covered in sin
