Budding guilt

Light shines down upon me
I can't cry in my suffocation
Blood flows from the scars on my soul
I can't cry out for my redemption
Vines crawl up the bud of my heart
I can barely breathe beneath these stars
Pieces scatter along my falling soul
I can barely see beyond tonight...

So far and so gone I fade
I can't see what it is you do
Freedom speaks but freedom screams
So close and so near I cry
Spirits float as noises rise
My soul departs as I drown in pride
Where do I go to gather myself again?...

Water pours down my parched lips
I can't swallow in this kind of rain
A fire builds in the eye of my palm
I can barely move in this shame
I'm falling apart in my own tears
I'm imprisoned for my own mistakes
Isn't there someone to lean on,
Someone to release me...

So far and so gone I fade
I can't sing the song that you do
Hate breathes but a lie survives
So close and so near I cry
I can't hear the words you do
Fires die in this flickering guilt
My heart breaks as I drown in my own filth
Where do i go to find myself again?...
