Nothing on me to light a fire In this dark place Only my instincts can save me A shattered heart and torn soul But I’m still holding on There’s not much hope But I hold faith That one day I’ll make it free From this place I’ll do everything it takes To get out of here alive It’s not as easy as it sounds The hardest things take time And this is an endless war Between a conscious mind Of doubts and regrets That fill an insomniacs head All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chase me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees It gets lonely here in purgatory Can you hear the howls, screams and cries Deafening to the ears It’ll make you tremble and shake You can’t give into fear Or you won’t make it alive out of here I’ve been facing down monsters one at a time Too many at once and they’ll eat you alive It’s not easy to decide Which one will be next Just hope that you don’t mess up And end up dead I’m locked and loaded With guns in hand I’m prepared as I’ll ever be I’m gonna make it out of here eventually All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chase me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees It gets lonely here in purgatory The battles are from over Still on guard, ready to defend Every corner I turn It gives them a new chance To catch me off guard And rip me apart I’ve got a lot of scars and marks Barely scraped through some of my past fights At the last moments I was able to turn the tides How much longer Can I keep myself alive I guess the future holds the secrets Just gotta keep moving Until I find the exit light And break free of this apocalyptic dream All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chase me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees It gets lonely here in purgatory I’m panting Taking a deep breath Bite wounds in my leg Hellhounds found me out All is lost now Guns are out of reach Might as well accept my fate Just give in Let the monsters win Sometimes you can’t beat a sin Unless you devote your unconditional love to him This was something I never did So where I’m going is uncertain Now it’s finally time to Let the curtain close Shut my eyes This is it I’m torn to bits All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chased me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees I died alone here in purgatory (To be continued...) ©2019 Written By Benji James

Purgatory (Part 1)
Nothing on me to light a fire In this dark place Only my instincts can save me A shattered heart and torn soul But I’m still holding on There’s not much hope But I hold faith That one day I’ll make it free From this place I’ll do everything it takes To get out of here alive It’s not as easy as it sounds The hardest things take time And this is an endless war Between a conscious mind Of doubts and regrets That fill an insomniacs head All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chase me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees It gets lonely here in purgatory Can you hear the howls, screams and cries Deafening to the ears It’ll make you tremble and shake You can’t give into fear Or you won’t make it alive out of here I’ve been facing down monsters one at a time Too many at once and they’ll eat you alive It’s not easy to decide Which one will be next Just hope that you don’t mess up And end up dead I’m locked and loaded With guns in hand I’m prepared as I’ll ever be I’m gonna make it out of here eventually All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chase me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees It gets lonely here in purgatory The battles are from over Still on guard, ready to defend Every corner I turn It gives them a new chance To catch me off guard And rip me apart I’ve got a lot of scars and marks Barely scraped through some of my past fights At the last moments I was able to turn the tides How much longer Can I keep myself alive I guess the future holds the secrets Just gotta keep moving Until I find the exit light And break free of this apocalyptic dream All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chase me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees It gets lonely here in purgatory I’m panting Taking a deep breath Bite wounds in my leg Hellhounds found me out All is lost now Guns are out of reach Might as well accept my fate Just give in Let the monsters win Sometimes you can’t beat a sin Unless you devote your unconditional love to him This was something I never did So where I’m going is uncertain Now it’s finally time to Let the curtain close Shut my eyes This is it I’m torn to bits All these monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory Hellhounds chased me down For many monsters, I have slain But there were only more that came It’s just the monsters and me Stuck here in purgatory I’ve followed winding roads Hid in dying woods Snuck through the marsh Covered my scents with mud In this land, it’s always dark Woods with leafless trees I died alone here in purgatory (To be continued...) ©2019 Written By Benji James
