Haunted Melody

My mind sings a tired song Midnight, it comes As an angel Soon to be a demon A demon painting my burning, weak soul I wish it would end It's a knife in my chest Clawing out my melting ears Tearing me apart Playing endlessly Endlessly An awful cry In a dark, sealed room An echo Filled with the hopelessness of the air A shadow of my mortality Mocking me Dear gruesome song, Please, pass me by Insanity Smothering me until my last breath Obstructing my escape From this shallow, black dream I plead with this broken strain of sound I beg, let me live Torture another Sad, unsuspecting soul But it's like a leech to my bruised skin A parasite invading my body Tormenting me As i sit in a pool of my mortifying despair Oh beautiful, horrible melody Leave me alone just this once I'm screaming, crying I beg you Leave my defenseless mind Go haunt another weak, helpless life My mind sings an empty song An infection to my abandoned soul When will it end?
