I awake to the sound of silence defining. How long has it since I’ve been asleep. I glance through the fog taking shape over my eyes. Feeling the ground shift beneath my feet. The sound of familiar voices whispering. The walls that I have escaped reflecting back at me. I walk through the void, estranged from my loved ones, a hollow projection. I walk in the night. Nightmarish fortune am I no longer? Through the dark I recognize a face. Do they see mine? For I am standing by their side. Discovering a horror so divine, a body lies. In this vessel I confide, realizing it is mine. Visions flashing forcefully. Overwhelming imagery. A vivid show of misery. Past and present intertwined in this world absent of time. I am caught between the lines, in which life and death reside. Past and present intertwined in this world absent of time. I am caught between the lines, in which life and death reside. I, the shroud of a mortal supernatural instinct. A shadow of what ceased to exist. My footsteps hidden deep within the midst. I am what was forged from torment and sin. The deep chill creeping underneath the skin. I am the embodiment of nothingness. Forever damned to this vast terrain of emptiness. Sickening nothing more inside. My soul is absent from my body tonight. Free to roam where I choose, yet I am trapped in this timeless loop. Let me back inside. Re-enter this decaying body tonight. Grant me a second chance to repair my broken life. Sickening nothing more inside. My soul is absent from my body tonight. Free to roam where I choose, yet I am trapped in this timeless loop. Let me back inside. Re-enter this decaying body tonight. Grant me a second chance to repair my broken life. Unable to turn to this sick illusion. Mortal life. I walk through the void. Uncomfortable solstice, a blissful entombment. I walk through the night. A ghost of another, a saddened illusion. I walk…through the night! I walk…through the night! A blinding rage led blade to wrist. (A blinding rage led blade to wrist.) Welcome deaths unforgiving grip. (Welcome deaths unforgiving grip.) Embrace the hold it has on me. (Embrace the hold it has on me.) This life of lies unraveling. Now my fate is sealed. A soul not worth the mourning. My memory forgotten, I am but a shroud. Fade into darkness. A weightless reckoning, submerged in obscurity the void beckons me.
