Poisoned Faith

I cast the shadows of the worlds I lost I count my sins so I forget the cost I name my demons in this fading dream My faith still hides because my heart’s unclean Once a lie of the mirror’s trust Lost my sight when I felt my lust Waking up underneath the stars I broke away and I’ve come so far Still so pure underneath this shell Gazing in and hiding from my hell I centre myself in a plain of prayer I look at myself but see nothing there I am a part of yesterday The poisons coming and the things they’d say I keep myself so far away My yesterday becomes today I write confessions to depart with death I will continue after my last breath I pray for light to come back to me My only hope lies in what I can not see
