Flaming Rebirth
Fire burns my soul as darkness grows within
The darkness grows deep in my heart
I look normal and I seem normal
But something goes wrong
Then the darkness seeps out of my heart
The darkness flows out of the wounds
The wounds that rest on my wrists
My body drops to the cold floor
The warm blood moves out over the tile
Darkness now free mixes with the blood
But blood seeps away into the cracks
Leaving the darkness behind
Darkness surrounds my body
Coldly it enters my lungs
I take my dieing breath
Darkness caresses my burning soul
It offers to take away my pain
I give my soul to the darkness
My body rises as I am reborn
Cold eyes look upon my reflection
