Immolation from Knells II by The Knells

IMMOLATION
When your joy has fled and
left you lonely in disconsolation,
take a corkscrew; drive it into
your persistent agitation.

And say goodbye,
and let it go,
and let it bleed out from your soul until it is lost.
Just cut the ball and chain and free yourself;
claw out of the hole.
It's not so difficult to let it alone —
untie the rope you use to hang yourself,
and absolve your soul.

Life is a river,
spanning a great divide:
don't make it difficult
swimming against the tide.

When the darkness and depression
sabotage all your defenses,
secretly the apathy can
poison all your other senses.

So say goodbye,
and let it go,
and let it bleed out from your soul until it is lost.
Just cut the ball and chain and free yourself;
claw out of the hole.
It's not so difficult to let it alone —
untie the rope you use to hang yourself,
and absolve your soul.

Life is an ocean —
don't fight the undertow:
move through the vortices,
ease back into the flow.
