My sense of control is now a sense of escape. Lust and impulse are simply routine. Bring down the hammer, a bludgeon to my shrines. Bring down the hammer to the corpse of my worship. Comfort is the gateway to acquiescence. Contentment, another word for stagnation. Bring down the hammer, a bludgeon to my shrines. Bring down the hammer to the corpse of my worship. Everything up to this point was a waste. Everything we ever built lies in ruins. Now it is time to truly begin.
