I can't believe I'm broken
Lost in your eyes
Trying to deny
The dark imposing signs
I fear I've gone the wrong way
And left myself behind.

At least that's what they say.

There are voices in my head.
I don't know which ones mine.

Why is it wrong to keep to myself....
Humanity only degrades, decays, what I have finally found...
Eats away at the remains of my soul....
To trust Them is to be vulnerable
I would rather be stone.
Cold and hard... rather than broken.

Skeletal hand
reaching for mine
along with the band
keeping time
Dead bones dance in the
dead of the night
keeping in time with a
grace like flight
Click and clatter in the
dark
flesh and bone together
embark
This is our parade
join hands
dead and alive
take off into this dark night

Mesmerized
Hypnotized
Crimson captures my thoughts
My visions turn red
Through these veiled eyes curiosity spreads
Dark draws me in
Death takes my hand
Together they show me a black twisted land.

I beg to be free
Long to fly away
Yet when given the chance
I'm too afraid
I dream of escape
I'm screaming for help
Yet when you come
I don't trust myself
The door is open
I'm holding the key
The only thing holding me back
Is me.

I'll light a fire in your name
And watch it burn away the pain
I'll feed it my heart piece by piece
So soon it will cease to be mine
Brighter, ever brighter it will burn
Till even the sun will cease to shine

Smile like you mean it
And hold your head high
Then  no one will know
That you're dead inside
