Can we uncover the beauty once again? Dark in its pain like a bloodstained journal The tortured one, exposed to incandescent rays Discarding the days in favor of those nights Far above the distant lights; too close to the judging skies Detached from kind we chose a new road Record player spun an ode to those who worried for me My fascination with misery collects deep in my room Gaunt features designed to bloom, it was doomed from the start But you held the line that led to poetic causation The desolate train station that beats soft and slow You could never get me to go back to that lonely chamber He who is rooted in anger will die by its very hand To become a line in the sand on a populated shore You forgot what you died for and yet the fact stands true A torture which remains in you, is only yours
