Dark Sleep

Bring my life home, to where I belong.
Worried about you. Take it away.
Sleep it all away. Tear me apart with the stone cold whispers of suffering.
Do I wake up?

Demon Of Ignorance

How does your mind fill with so much hate?
Disgraceful in your quest to find your own reparations. Now you will feel what others simply cannot.
You claim to be a catalyst in a war that is fictionalized by you.
No wonder everyone simply abandons you at the gate.
Reach for your throne you can no longer grasp. We have taken it by force.
Undeniable, we will be laughing as you pick up the scraps.
Force fed your troubles for many to watch. I wonder if you ever accept the fact that you lost.
You hide behind nothing but false light.
It’s broken wide open, you had your chance. Everything will come crumbling down and you will have nothing to stand on.
Fallacy is what you claim to be but I know that you’re the type of person who lacks any sort of empathy. X2
We are no longer afraid.
Force fed lies who they see as a “king”
Self-proclaimed martyr. But today the “king” becomes one with the dirt.
A slice for every mistake you’ve made coming for the army of the defiant.

Waiting again.
Another sleepless night.
The pain only subsides when I'm alone.
Watching, waiting forever.
Just take it all away.
Do not awake my slumber for I wanted it this way.
Darkness invasions have brought me here.
Forever in the shadows.
Forever alone.
The only thing awakened is my soul that needs cleansing.
Waiting until my movements become stale.
Alone as I stare while I'm tied to the rails. (x2)
Slow heart beats have never become more bliss.
Forever I won't awake to stay away from all of this Emptiness. (x2)
Dead minds will always close, weak minds come forth to show.
I will do this if my life proceeds me, just give me my chance.
All alone. Waiting for the countdown.
My emotions and will are separated by the drown.
Wait all the way to the bone. Encased from the past.
Holding on to who I have been but (I can't seem to shake the black gloom.)
(Don't make me hold myself down. Don’t make regret myself. I can’t go anymore.)
Darkness enclosed by a ripping wall of sadness.
Tie me to the end, leave me and just let me go. I am not strong enough. I am not strong enough.
Broken and dead inside. It’s so black up here. My mind doesn’t change without you. Where are you going to be when I can no longer hold on? Forever alone inside my mind.

Deliverance

The shadows are here again, and they continue to swallow me.
Waking my mind, it recesses through everything.
Just holding back while I bite my tongue till it bleeds.
Silence has never made me feel more unlike myself.
Staying under the influence to numb the pain of my own existence.
I need the white noise to get me through it all
I'll take one more shot just to fuel the resistance.
One more reason to hold me close.
The only days I enjoy are the ones without a glance.
Walking through my life alone
I can't see how this pertains to me.
I don't know where I belong.
Or who I have become.
I've become a monster.
I've become my own worst fears.
I need to just take my place. Fall in line.
It’s hard to get my life in order when everything
I have can't seem to break over.
I wake up to realize that I am nothing.
I need the white noise to get me through it all
I've become a monster.
I've become my own worst fears.
I need to just take my place. Fall in line.
