And then it all collapses
and no one’s left to bear
Thy mortal flesh is burned
oh but nothing is really there

The darkness feeds
a soul is eaten
The body tires
we all are beaten

The bird flys free
it cannot escape
Dark tendrils reach
bird falls, mouth agape

When all is said and done
then freedom can be attained
Until that day has come
this hell as always remained

The light
is really gray
It cannot penetrate
and darkenss likes it that way

Feelings come and feelings go
it all is truly the illusion
You cannot win, only lose
anarchy is all confusion

To burn it black
the scar remains
Where where you
when the passed out brains

A torch is a wonderful thing
hot metal burns, sears, pain
All that’s left
is what cannot remain

Something has to die
of that I am assured
But how do you kill
what even your own mind has blurred?

Escape is impossible
you can only try to deal
Learn what you can
see what patience can reveal
