I cannot bear to hear, the silence that reminds me

The agony that binds me

This loneliness that haunts me

The emptiness that blinds me.

These glowing embers of your flame, a remnant burning

The dying of your purity, and thoughts are turning

You cannot slay the beast, embodiment of cruelty

Maybe you are not the one, i long for when i turn to dust

Ashes of your perfect skin, the treasure of this labyrinth

Why did i not see where you came from,

Why can't you see where you stray from

And now the beast is gone, the mourning never seems to stop

And now i'm yearning for the end

Sparks of hope, must be extinguished and put to rest

For all i had of you has burned, and now there's only embers

Forlorn, i lay here bleeding

And after all i've seen,

I do not fear the cold you bring

Abhorrence of your misery

This is the end for me,

I no longer fear the calling

Without the one for me

The serpent that has chained my life

I've flown too close to your light

And as you eclipsed me, i've lived in fear

You're not the one i gave my life for

You're not the one i once died for
