The insane ramblings of a braying jackass

Bitter much?

"Sleep Of Ages (The Road To Ruin)"

I watch the dark shadows as they're creeping across the floor
They eat away at the light, insatiable, and wanting more
My heart dies sharply, stabbed by the icy edge of the black
I offer no resistance, a drought of want, not of lack

Enveloped by a blanket of sorrow, pain, and broken promises
I dream a sleep of ages, forever longing for existence
For pitiful expressions of loves that live only as lies
But represent the only love that has filtered through this life

- Now I'm begging the question -
  That I'm posing to myself
  About unapologetic hatred
  And a life that's long past help
  About the power of silence
  And the truths it conveys
  About the comfort of deceit
  And of faith long decayed

Blood runs cold, eyes run dry, and my smile is rusted shut
As I scan for a signal that says I might not be the only one
Branded bitter by the fire, I carry the mark of disbelief
In myself, in you, in everyone, and hope that life is more than grief

- Chorus -

My breath is hard to come by as I struggle to understand
How a life can be held hostage, enclosed within your hand
Dragged along the road to ruin, leaving parts of myself behind
Grated down to my essence, a map of hate that's well defined

- Chorus -
