I am always alone
When the sun has sunk
And all of you have wandered home
I am left with voices that whisper
Inside my head
Lies or truth
It matters not
For I am trapped
There is no one to pull me out
Left alone in the dark
With the dark
God why
Why does the darkness whisper

When I was young I looked upon the stars
And heard that they were old
Moments slip quietly to minutes
While days blur into years
When twenty winters past I looked again upon the stars
And felt that they were cold
I tried to take my time
Always walk from place to place
But the ground must move beneath me
How quickly I seem to run around the sun
Moments slip quietly to minutes
While memories fade into dreams
When I was young I gazed upon the stars
And listened as they told me that they were old
But here I am looking up one final time
So old that I'm alone
And they are still all together
As bright as when I first looked up
Perhaps we have it wrong
And we are old not them
For I'm no longer there to look upon the stars
While they wander ever on
As we insist upon running around the sun
Claiming that we are young

I can hear the sound of tomorrow approaching
It starts as a tremor in the earth
That soon becomes a rumbling in my bones
As I lie here on the ground
The stars begin to shake
I close my eyes so they'll not fall from the sky
My fingers grasp handfuls of grass
For in the spinning darkness
Earth threatens to let me go
The last grains of sand have fallen
Upon my face light has grown bright
Though it does not hail the end of night
Within the silence that exists between heartbeats
I wonder if this was the right thing to do
For as the trio of lights become an inseparable sun
I realize I can think only of you
But too late
I'm tied to this fate
The stars have stopped shaking
Tomorrow is no longer approaching
And the midnight train rolls through

I stumble past the paths we walked in light
Yet now alone
Enveloped in tendrils of impending night
Fear coils across my bones
Laboured breath pronounces my plight
As from within the trees you start to moan
A blanket of fog snakes within your wake
And I scream lies of undying hate
Secrets shared upon paths filled with slanted light
Sadly I've found offer no respite from what stalks the night

There was a man
Who with his hands
Pressed
Against this glass
Screamed
As he watched his wife
Pulled
Beneath these roaring waves
But he could not hear
Her desparate plea
For him to finally
Please let her go
My heart it bleeds
For the man now on his knees
Silent
As his tears
Splash
Against this glass

Remember the time
When we kissed beneath these stars
Before light left the night
When you swore we would always be alright
Yet now I stand beneath these stars
Clutching the shattered pieces of your broken heart
And though they cut me so
I can not bear to let you go
Oh stranger in the rain
Please remember we who died
Only to prove the might
Of those who fear the night

There is no destiny other than the one we forge within the fires of risk
Knowingly going so far into the furnace that the cost will be your life
There is no light amid the darkness that is life unless we carry a candle
But this candle casts light only for others
If we wish to navigate the winding paths of life
We must walk close to those we name brothers
There is none that died in our stead to forgive the heartless dead
So we must face the blame and take on others pain
There is nothing but lies until I tear through the shroud that surrounds me
Understanding this plague that brings me gasping to the ground is me
My own lies are what choke me so
And my heart pumps hatred as poison through my screaming veins
As I feel my soul begin to slip through my fingers
Here on my knees I glimpse you through the trees
So lost in strife with life that you do not care
That once within the forest you've entered madness' lair
As my crimson soul gushes from my mouth onto this blackened ground
I know what it is I must do
Accept Gehenna's everlasting embrace
Endure the burning pain
Use the dying spark that is my life to ignite the flames
And become a light within your night

This brings me to my end
Hell consumes my soul from within, though my darkness
Endures the plight
Suffering begins as my heart foresees it's end
I feel it fight to beat
Lie still only after I give in
Vindictive I spill my own blood
Enduring pain to flush hell out
Requiem is my last release
Silently I fall
Hearing a soul pass through my lips
A fire consumes my face
Lie enough I'll forget this place
Lost within my thoughts
On a plain of paradise I walk
Water's wind weaves a cloak around me, it's
Scent is of Shallows above
Life is finally at an end
Is death now my only kin
Vague is the horizon
Eternally dimmed from my eyes
So death begins in darkness

i once traveled upon a ray of light
lent me by the moon one winter's night
i traveled across the sky as snow fell upon a city
and these snowflakes spoke to me of all the places they'd fallen
but i traveled farther still until i slipped into a fog within a town
and this fog spoke to me of all the streets it'd snaked across
but i traveled ever farther still until i was in the middle of the ocean
and here i spoke to a raindrop that was afraid of heights
but he still had to climb back up every time he fell, back to his cloud
just to fall again
but here in the middle of the ocean
a cloud conversed with the moon
and she took back her ray into the night
thus leaving me with my raindrop friend until we parted ways at the surface of the ocean
where i traveled down into it's depths
and here i met a man named death that was himself afraid to die
but as i slipped out of my cumbersome body
and hand in hand with my newest friend
in a backward glance i saw in my face what i had sought so hard for in life
peace

all the rain
all the pain
i can't handle it anymore
the absence of light
brought to my knees one final time
i will not rise again
darkness consumes me from within
extinguishing all forms of desire
no longer is there a fire deep within
passion, pain, all lost unto the rain
i no longer feel the need for anything at all
my body's become simply an unkept house
my mind retreats into places not my own
unwilling to forge for a unique existence
the waters, heavens, books, my very heart
all become silent to my cries
my friend turns his back
my dreams fade into the lake of darkness before me
the only thing left is shallow, selfish, regret
an unfueled desire to make it right
but i no longer possess flint, wood, fuel
or even the eyes to regard life's flame
spiralling downwards
there's no spot to crash
simply fall farther below
until i have forever forgotten who i once used to be
perhaps one day i'll remember who i am
and begin the climb to who i used to believe i was
but not today
inspiration no longer exists for me for now
so into night and darkness i'll walk
and try to forget that i used to dream
