-The Fall-

Cast shadows on the empty earth
As I walk amongst the damned
My open sores are bleeding out
Bruises black with neglect
Through the ashes I calmly search
To seek the hand of freedom
My head it hangs under a shroud of doubt
A heart of malice has found its end
King am I of my own prison
Sick and cold I hide in the dark
The light it burns my skin from indecision
I’ll die here empty only covered in skin
The cold it creeps on me on damp dark night
I am all alone here; no one to save me from this fate
In sorrow and surrender I lay among the ruins
I reach my hand for something just to rest on broken ground
My feet are bloody and worn to callous
The earth has no mercy as you tread the rocks and sand
Looking to the sky, I am waiting for the answer
The struggle, the malice, have I hurt enough to die?
Not even the sun will peer it’s face beyond the greyness
Nothing is there to shine a light upon my path
I cover my face as I swallow the dust that has taken place atop my tounge
I am what? A killer of my own morale, a creator of my own fate
Hollow, a shell, weak from the storm yet standing til death may find me
Calling out for safety yet still falling ever still
I am not a simple being my soul is lost to ruin
lay me now upon the earth and let me breathe my final gasp
Take me not into the sunlight but leave me to darkness, and winters wrath
Hold my hand and sing me softly, sweet lullaby's to calm me as I fade
This life of struggle and pain has taken me, a body lost, a bitter sweet waste

-Eternal Frailty-

At that moment when your mind is your enemy
You can’t escape the open sore
The end it finds you so unexpectedly
It wants your life, your blood to pour
You search for meaning in a life so destructive
The ever changing scenery is hard to ignore
You find that nothing is the same as yesterday
Your blinded eyes can’t find the door
Sticking like glue to this floor of self loathing
Where am I wandering what have I become?
Wishing for a moment that things were much clearer
The haze the fog your head overrun
Spit out your digressions and open your eyes
See what I’m saying just listen to my song
I am not wicked just so tired of misinterpretation
Of what I am saying being turned around wrong
Twisted little lies make more out of nothing
Simple justification will tell you all the truth
What am I to say when I find you feasting heavily?
On the blood of every victim you have chosen to abuse
My inner child is screaming my hands are calloused from the fray
The better world I’m seeking seems to fall on deafened ears
Fuck the obligation to explain what I’m inducing
For nothing feeds the empty more than facing bitter fears

Why are all the children weeping?
They’ve lost what’s left of a smile
They had not chance to live and experience
They lost there life through tribulation and trials
Take my hand and guide me to safety
Take my hand just lead me away
Someone come here, someone save me
Someone help my child awake
Can’t you see inside I’m crying
Can’t you see inside I burn
Can’t you see how hard I’m trying?
Can’t you see I want to learn?
Find me father, before I break
Set me on my feet once more
Save me mother let the child escape
In a corner huddled so cold and unsure
Please don’t leave me all alone
Please just hold me don’t let me go
Please just take me, carry me home
Please just help me, I need you
