No light to shine on this one

I'm through if I've begun

Finished with this life



Your words are just a virus to me

I'm a past your token sympathy

There's freedom in the coming storm

I need your fear to keep me



Torn from the edge of security I fall

Where smoke stains line the spaces on my walls

Bleak frames of rusted lives

Waiting there for nothing except the darkness



And dread

Like I'm clawing my way

Through the colorless despair



The shades I paint my own mind

The pain inside my own mind

Slipping further deep inside

I head the world beyond myself

Scream inside this hollow shell



Somehow it's so familiar

Will anything temper the darkness?
