As sure as the night comes, I feel worthless

Trapped in this misanthropy I know so well

I lay faceless in life's masquerade

Blanketed by a never ending rain

Forever?

No longer is time defined

... How can I know?

Suspended in a crystal tear

Are all the words you did not hear

And all our silver hopes and fears

No dreaming back across the years

I'd wash your scarlet heresies from my painted dream

Tracing our curling memories into windblown sand

For sleep doth attack my eyes

Pulling them down as curtains

And behind their velvet backs

I see the play of my dreams begin to run its course

Tranquility

I just cannot feel as I'm slowly stripped of my life

My freshly painted portrait is bleeding

As its colours running

A macabre ending to a beautiful past

Mesmerized by the dead shadows that lie beneath my feet

As I crush my unconscious dreams

Haunted by this mournful twilight that bleeds me

My body cannot withstand this wrath...

Rid me of my flesh

Love Can Never Conquer Hate

These perfumed words fed my soul

This twisted tragedy adrift amongst calamity

Gold to ashen in a fade

Warmth and gleam in shifting shades

Now I find within your eyes, the ghost of what never dies

Our love was as hollow as your smile

I bequeath my silence under the weeping clouds

Death's sweet tears blossom within in my sears

Do I belong to serenity?

No...

For her touch will never grace my skin
