The darkness fills from top to bottom
an undisturbed wicked spiral
farther from what's inspiration
I continue to slide
Darkness nags from all around
etching pain on my skin
peeling away at what I used to be
I was happy
My palms upturned, beg forgiveness
let my penance be destruction
this decay is sinking
swallow me
Is this darkness obvious
are my eyes dyed black
where went that inspiration
I am transparent
Sway, from side to side
dizzy from intoxication
****** from fornication
breath....
in,out,in,and out
panic drives this man
sit on the edge of the middle
wish to be more like them
them.....
them.....
Darkness increasing
soul is fleeing
this inspiration rapes me
breeds me
breeds in me
consumes me
amuses me to no end
but still i am only me
CANT YOU SEE
WONT YOU SEE
i live only for the darkness
the sorrow
the horror and gore
a make believe world
catching the phrase
paraphrasing the past
i am only darkness
i am lonely darkness
i am a shadow of was
a memory of where
a glimpse of who
a dash of what
Count my sins, darkness
on your bitter fingers and toes
give rhythm to my woes
give forgiveness for the excursions
i have made to the darkness
Betray my lighting effect
expose my soul
deny the trust I held in dark
on a box i stand, a one man show
darkness is my inspiration
