A sound that resonates

Embedded deep beneath me it waits

The strangled cries that drain from me

Every ounce of strength from within



Contorted soul, casualty of inner war

The overpowering pain

A corruption on the mural of memories

Forever spiralling down



Compelling the loneliness which persuades an invitation

Of helplessness that wont be overcome

A monarch of abandonment

And the darkness that brings me calm

Is broken by a burning light



A relentless siege on my sanctuary of inner silence

The walls of my resolve barraged by fear’s artillery

I am the casualty of war waged by insanity

Where do I go, what do I do

Why is this happening to me?



And all that’s left is me

Shattered psyche and withered self

The light that pierces my eyes

Burns my flesh from the inside



A devastated, comatose psyche

A suffocating haze of atrophy



I’m blind,

I’m lost, alone

I’m blind

Broken, left to writhe in agony



Silent scream from strangled throat

Crushed by iron hands unseen

A sinful mental prison cell

A penance paid with inner pain

Counting the days to escape from this cursed light



Counting the days to escape from this cursed light



Burning my eyes from the back of my mind

Accursed light, burning the sky, leaving me broken and blind



Withering in my decay, my lifeblood drained

A catatonic neurosis, cancer of mind

Embodied by burning light



Burning the sky, burning my mind (light)

Burning the sky, burning my mind



Nestled away, I feel my sanity clinging to life

Betraying everything I’ve come to love

I never thought about the loneliness I’m feeling til now

I shall find you
