---

Sickened with sanity

Slowly withdraw

Scattered and torn

Traces of apathy

Silence of thought

Screaming deep inside

Reprehension, thoughts of you

I entomb this dormant rage

Estranged, hide myself from you

Find myself wanting no more

Embracing

Lies falling from your lips

Betraying

Why must I live in this hell

Disgrace you

Hating all that you are

Drowning voices

Your regression pleading you

In self-loathing you appeal

Resistance it's been

Bleeding you

Captive here, dying inside

Containing

Why can't I escape

Restraining

Without you I can be free

Erase you

Aching heart turns to stone

Mournful of - idle love

Now my dear

Shed no tears

Cry no more

Feel estranged

I've sought many passages

Leading me now to

Ambiguous fortresses

To ghostly towns buried

In anxious labyrinths

Now I pillage the darkness for

Golden grain which was born

From beneath ancient graves

Nevermore to return my love

Entwined in despair

And false hope

Wicked winds they carry

Whispered tales

Misery and heartache

Melt the mortal soul

Your soul
