Madness stricken they left me here
to rot in my own sanity
a lost soul
burdened to dwell within the halls
of my broken mind

this is my cross to bare
and none shall ever know
on the outside I'm just myself
but inside I died long ago.

Madness came.

I watched as he took residents within my battered skull
bringing with him a freedom of sorts.
As the demon took hold he started eating away my emotions and
I became aware of the soothing darkness contained within my soul.

Peace came and I was Happy.

I was a cold person all along
but yet a flicker of flame remained.

Lost
Hurt
Broken and chained
When will this suffering end?
Will I ever be free of you and your spiteful love
or will we be forever friends?
I would choose otherwise
but this is the pain I grew to love.

It makes me sad to see
the blind masses
who try to be
so worthy

They try too hard
for them to see
what a life
they can lead

We are here and now
there is no will
to which we must bow

We command our dreams
we are the ones who
must tear the seams

An eternity from today
what will be left
of what we are?

I am Death
We all are
We are the ones for whom the bells toll

What comes next?

Darkness
or
Soul

You
why am i dead inside
why do i have an ice cold heart
why can i not find love
why am i here

because of you.

I dreamt I dreamt I had a dream
With many a face
That did not seem out of place
By my crying, my sobbing, my screams

They found me alive with only my life
Watching the world go by
Must I wake from this mistake
Or must I keep my dreams alive?
