This is basically about living with severe dissociation and not really belonging to anywhere and falling back into addiction because of it. The picture is Valtiel- he is from Silent Hill. Basically his purpose is watch over the birth of God. He is an attendant of God.

Breath lives in a half way house

neither here nor there

swirling plumes of disconnection

caged in this choking air

thickening and pushing on down

no way to breach one to completion

the weight of relapse

drowning over my head

filling each empty bottle

lying on a cluttered floor

with sparkling self-loathing

spiking each futile attempt

to change from the darkness

i have blended into

deafening wails of my own bleeding

released on someone else’s accord

demonically executed

to extreme painful perfection

turning the valve of suffering once more

let me rest in peace

from the pieces of two worlds combined

blank tiles of memory seeking end

stop driving me back

into the charade of the living

to keep falling into the land of the lost

down, descending further into Hell

murky visions corrupted by my lies

the twisted executioner

abusing my dampened organs

a mesh of violent deceit

crawling over my flesh

the markings of disdain coming alive

eating right through my will to succeed

picking up the shards of addiction

like i had never left them alone

such a short lived victory

distant realization

as i crawl back into the hole

that consumes my insides
