Chasms

I bleed boundless in reverie In woe I am vindicated Rising of the sweltering sun Streams of venomous light descend Impurity swells in a fever of reflection A plague of a secret unveiled Sinking in pale misery Crimson eyes cast searing stares I turn away Yet they still remain I lock myself away Yet they still remain A body wrapped in wavering veins Choking and abandoned I watched each one collapse Tears of distress erode the flesh Breathe deep in the dead of night Caressed by sin Lost within boundless winds I fear the coming blaze I return to solace Torn and tarnished Forgotten and grieving The sun will crucify a staggered soul The sun will burn the cancer we have become Death will be the savior Forever I crave the velvet night Forever enslaved to the shadows of twilight

Giving into the evils of empathy Hollow pillars uphold a bedlam of lies In the dawning of blind love Deviant devotion is carved into stone Falling into a fateful night Fumes of failure arise again From the sickness and bliss of the needle I fucking begged You could only see What I never wanted to be Loveless words burn so brightly Insecurities bleed I touch but can no longer feel The throbbing hand of need This place has become so toxic Yet we still need to breathe Break one more promise I can’t save you Burn one more promise You can’t save me

A tenebrous rose Revels in misery Wilting with fatal mystique Yet to drown Tears crawl down Longing for some kind of escape Looming with astral elegance Insatiable desires Plunging into forbidden play The scars of sickness Perennial suffering The precious poison Won’t wash this curse away Pleasure to pain Shackles clench tighter Sanity frays Clinging to life While nurturing death Another petal falls away

Oh Mother Oh Father This was never meant to be Oh Mother Oh Father Relinquish this mistake of a life Upon waking Weightless and solitary I suffer through the void On the perilous bridge Between body and spirit I linger in lore of disgust This wretched body The prison of the soul Weighted by the chains of depression I could never bear to let you in Awaiting the footsteps Stained by revelations I could never bear to let you in A tyrannous shyness envelops me I gaze to the sky with obsidian eyes In the crawl space I will always be Nothing to bring me from my knees
