Consign myself
To this torture
To purge the remnants of my sanity
Of its blind fantasies
Which reality has refuted
Time and time again

At the gallows
Smiling merrily
For I am ending
Destroying your stakes
Painted myself white
To the blackness
Of the despair

I surrender, I yield
Give up the last of me
Let you tear it to shreds
Lamenting nothing

As this is my final revolt
There is neither victory nor defeat
Yet there’s freedom, there’s truth
In surrender
Retreating to pieces unowned

A granting of nothing
Is my everything
Leading nowhere but the end
Of our path

I got lost in the depths of my trust
Now I’m severing my ties
Letting go of the past
That used to define my life

Dying like the stars in the skies
I give rise
To new paths and crossings
To retrace my mind
Or at least the parts you leave behind
