Deep Freeze

I'M GROWING COLD
JADED BY THE PAIN SHOOTING THROUGH MY KNEES
I CAN’T STAND THIS FOR A MINUTE
BUT I'VE STOOD FOR DAYS
I TASTE IT WITH THE TIPS OF MY SHATTERED TEETH PROGRESS SLOWS
AT FULL SPEED INTO A DEEP FREEZE
A CONFRONTATION LIES AHEAD OF ME
I STALL AND BECOME BURIED
UNPREPARED TO FACE THE PAST
AS IT LOCKS IN PLACE
PROGRESS SLOW
AND WHILE TIME STILL FLOWS
A BLINDING EMPTINESS OBSCURES THE ROADLET THEM DESTROY THEMSELVES
UNDER THE BURDEN OF ANCIENT BELIEFS
NO NEW MEMORIES
NO CODE, NO RELIEFI'M GROWING COLD
AT FULL SPEED INTO A DEEP FREEZE
