Falling inside again
This nightmare always the same
Still never enough
Halting at the brink of discoveryMoving into the darkness
Leaking inside to cover up
Dragging me down and under
Entangled and undone at onceOld memories
I'm not in need but wish to know
What are the tragedies
The history behind the wallsPacing further down
Familiar children's laughter
Dissonant and out of time
And they're eyes are deadWatching myself in a pool of water
Wearing the mask of a ghost
Smeared all across my skin
Rotten earth and insectsEndless night
Always preserving the calm
Movement behindBleeding animals in a field of fire
There is no absolution
Death is but a fairytale
They are mere visions
They are afraid of meClear insight
A smoke is rising nearby
Dust covering my coat
Blend together to spell my namePale, covered me with sweat
There are no words left
Sole provider of death
Distorted faith in myselfHuman harvest burning
Blackest pages turning
Twisted perception come true
Captured in dreams connectedStaring right back
Spiritual decay - Still seeking
Frozen in time
Mourn this departure - All watchingCalling me back
Closure to bleak matters- I'm leaving
End of a search
Coming of morningCalling me back
Closure to bleak matters- I'm leaving
End of a search
Coming of morning - Returning
