Trying so hard to numb the pain
Pick apart the horrid hallucination
Blood diluted by tears, falling like rain
Build the fragile walls of zion

Gilded paths strewn with broken memories
Penance paid, and I'll surely burn
Inflicted with this deceitful disease
All that's left is an empty urn

Upon a forgotten shelf, in your empty heart
My breath stirs a dead breeze
In the empty gardens of the souls rampart
Emotions twirled like leaves on trees

Pallid clouds against a moonlit backdrop
Silver shards paint the tattered scene
Seated in the mind, on a barren hilltop
Luminescence makes the pain gleam

As the village below so sweetly slumbers
It's guardian watches from darkened beauty
As the demon increasingly slaughters her numbers
Within city walls, lays the destroyed sanity
