Belphegor’s Apathy
Under The Floorboards / 7DS
There’s nothing to see here.
There’s nothing to fear.
Just sit back down and relax.
You could be doing something different.
You could make use of the time you spent.
But really–why should you even bother?
No one’s going to remember.
Don’t you realize
there’s nothing left to seek?
I know you think you’re truly unique.
A fanciful delusion,
just like everyone.
I’m not going to argue
because I don’t care.
Those talents and gifts are mere lies–
a curse wrapped in a new disguise.
So let your muscles rest.
Give in to lethargy.
Let your mind dissolve
into my apathy.
Don’t you realize
there’s nothing left worth doing?
You abandoned every dream you were pursuing.
You grew idle hands and all of that.
Your mind grew weak. Your body fat.
So let your muscles rot.
Give in to uncaring lethargy.
Let your brain fill up
with my unholy apathy.
And you won’t even care
while my ravens eat your eyes.
You won’t have the will to run.
You won’t even try.
As my hounds devour your raw flesh
you’ll stare into space
with that same deluded, stupid look
on your face.
Those talents you wasted
will rot inside my home.
There’s no one left to help you.
You’re here all alone.
So as my pets devour you,
I hope you had a good rest.
You can stay so apathetic
with a demon on your chest.
Burn.
