Mr. Self Destruct

We follow this beaten path, carved by countless lovers before us.

Pain, anguish, love, destiny and power have all helped guide the way.

A group of us follow unknowing.

Serenity passes by with every step.

This life we live nourishes as well as suffocates.

We go on unknowing.

Until the day we all realize we've gone too far.

Nothing is left now.

Darkness envelops our lives, our thoughts and our minds.

Slowly we fall into the unknown, a place so many have gone, yet no one can speak of.

Tears, screams, terror, agony and torment envelop our minds.

Our lives we've lived to a god so faithful.

The final step we take on trust.

Do we fall, do we climb or do we cease to exist?

Our thoughts, memories, bodies and souls die.

We disintegrate until there is nothing left.

One by one our friends, family and children forget.

The story we've worked so hard to create begins to fade.

Only a few years later we are non-existent, no longer able to speak.

Memories are nothing but spent atoms in a wooden box.

6 feet under ground our bones deteriorate.

No one will ever remember.

Remember friends, we will all meet this certain doom.

It's coming sooner than you think. . . .
