Thy thoughts are fragments,
anything but right.
All thy desires are dreams,
inaccessible beyond thy sight.
Thy pain etches away at thy heart,
sucking thy blood from thy lips.
Self inflicted insanity I fell,
cold expression of despair.
Eternal life from a magic spell,
I've seen the torture, felt the pain,
I've been used, bruised and abused
told I'd never fly.
Grasping here and there
drinking from pleasures fountain,
an act that can't be undone; but is
this feelings of the Gods, or the
darkness of hells gate?
Wounded deep within,
the crying wind will never tell.
In the dark thy tears hold a shocking scream
most unjust this grievous cast, now thy left
with not but a past. Bad intentions,
sad inventions,torn by hate, worn by life.
I'm the strangest thing in sight,
people dread me like death.
The spell is cast with each storm that past,
I'm confusion living in an illusion like a
hamster in it's cage trapped from escape,
no where to wander.
Catching hells tormenting slight,
deception and pain is all that's there.
Evil spirits breaking threw as vengeance
runs it's course.
Sadness calls, on broken wings,
can't get up, can't stay down,
can't hang around inside lightening scorns.
Internal fire singes thy edges of thy heart,
burns thy very soul, blistering thy will.
I drown thyself in tears with this conformation
of thy fears. Anger calls, a life not worth living,
no dreams, no motivation,no goals in life,
no real satisfaction,no meaning, empty, tormented,
a breaking heart. The evil thy face is so fierce
it's deadly it's ripping at thy very soul.
All thy secrets thy tried so deeply to hide,
glow so visibly in the darkness of his sight.
Deadlock without destination I found a place of tranquility
that only thy pained souls can appreciate, in thy serpents
lair. Wounded and torn thy scares exposed, hidden fears inside
thy serpents lair. Thy tears fighting the light, while beaten
by night. The window to thy soul' you say, it's clear as day?
wish it where so,so you could see, but thy must keep thy doors
closed within thy serpents lair.
