I hear them
Breaking glass cacophony
Noises that resemble words
Trying to break through
To shatter the box that i built around myself
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could see was nothing

I sense them
A seismic overture
Resounding in earth tones and vibrations
The box coming apart
I breathe in the dust
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could breathe was decay

A wall implodes
Covering me in my intricate handy work
Burning
Scraping
Opening me up
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could touch was blood

A light explodes
Covering me in a tangle
Stinging tongues
Lips of salt
Digging in
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could feel was agony

I take it all
There's no other way
On the head and in the brain
My back is wracked
In bone breaking pain
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could feel was ecstasy

My legs
My arms
Collapse
Burning slowly
Sumptuously
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could do was laugh

My eyes
Drawn to the light
Flickering butterflies on fire
Red bulging glazing over
They burst
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could do was gasp

I see them
In one last moment
And i am their leader
Celebrating in triumph
Grinning slowly
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could do was believe

I feel something
Pushing up in a rise
Through the confusion
The blood the dust
Swelling through the shattered box
Grain by delicate grain
Until all i could do was scream

And we all turn to ash
Perfect at last...
