The sun rose & set 6 times Before collapse put to rest This mess that is me Dreams plead in vein for my Eyes to open cleansed & sane Sweet screams Ghosts whisper Ill prophecies Just beside and behind me My pale outer shell drifts Deeper into the darkness That enslaves me A soul yearns to flee when it finds Home has long since been traded For a hole I feel your arm around me And hear your prayers and loving word But I need a cure for apathy or a break from this theater of the absurd Come, be blessed Well,If He exists He doesn't talk to this fiend God, has from me, long ago abscessed Make way The only ghosts that haunt me Are the shadows that lead me Astray.
