When I'm alone it feels like I'm sinking

When I awake it feels like I'm drowning

 

Why won't you leave me?

Can't you see I'm broken enough?

By your words I've been tainted

Lied through the teeth, taken too much

 

Taken away, suffered the worst

The last of the fallen, the face of this curse

 

Forever fading

The light in the dark it depletes

Dead in the water

Here to stay buried beneath

Chained by your anger

Your shackles weighing you down

Trapped here forever

Left here to drown

 

Soaked in fire

Sinking below

No warmth awaits me

No hope left to show

This vessel is empty

Under the weight of the world I am born

Hate is born

Spread the plagues, end here as one

I am the monument to all that is evil

Dim the lights, black out the Sun

I am the image of all hatred consumed

Alone in this nightmare with no air to breathe

Created in chaos

A thought so destructive it bursts through the seams

 

Could you find a way

To mask this burning hate?

It’s feeding the nights

It’s stealing the days

Outstretched arms now fade

This mind left to decay

Memories tainted

Memories ablaze

 

Stolen in visions

Footsteps in the sand

All permanence in this life

Washed away

Blind are the damned

Has it made you stronger?

Never to hide in the light

Forever in darkness

But never out of sight
