Nothing but

black

light

penetrates through

cracks in the

edges

of you

Reaching out

to

find

a space

Emptiness now fills that place

Scratch the surface

Scrape the bone

Crack through the cartilage

Only to find, inky-dark marrow

Drain the wound

that doesn't stop seeping

Til it pours down your throat, plugs up the ears, fills up the lungs

Black inside black over black

Black inside black over black

Space (space)

You dropped away (you dropped away)

Cavity

Vacant

Are you obscured? (are you obscured?)

Or is there nothing there?

Time (time)

Time drifts ahead (time drifts ahead)

Moments freeze. Static.

Kept facing forward. Didn't hold on. When I turned back, you were gone.

Seeking out the find a key.

Searching for a door ahead of me.

There's no light from behind, I'd been walking blind.

Groping for any support I could find.

Flickers of light would awaken.

So many gone, I'd forsaken.

Vacancy

Slowly filled by viscous blight.

Scratch the surface

Scrape the bone

Crack through the cartilage

Only to find, inky-dark marrow

Drain the wound

that doesn't stop seeping

Til it pours down your throat, plugs up the ears, fills up the lungs

Black inside black over black

Black inside black over black

Space (space)

You dropped away (you dropped away)

Cavity

Vacant

Are you obscured? (are you obscured?)

Or is there nothing there?

Time (time)

Time drifts ahead (time drifts ahead)

Moments freeze. Static.

Kept facing forward. Didn't hold on. When I turned back, you were gone.

Small and alone

Fear pervades, so shut down

Bury deep, hide it all

Til it can not be found.

Search to heal, but it's lost.

Remedied, at a cost.

That neglect, breeds the dark.

Black inside black over black.
