Shadow Circle

I can't tolerate this constant numbness, this consistent dissatisfaction. I'm just their puppet in the shadows, a demon of my own minds fraction. Tear me from this fragile reality, lead me through the entropy. The solace I could never find, just burning from within. Until the voices whisper answers, lead me through the void again. I'll follow you, my shadowed circle, from this darkened world, lead me to my peaceful slumber, my precious bottled pearl. I find in this a feint relief, a lessened burden of disbelief. The only peace i've ever known, calming down to the very bone. Bring to me an understanding, I will never learn to live. An empty shell just so demanding, with nothing left to give. I inhale you and swallow deep, waiting for the dust to creep. Into my veins and through my heart. Please i need you, tear me apart. I'll follow you, my shadowed circle, from this evil place lead me to my peaceful slumber, forgiving my disgrace. I'll follow you, my shadowed circle, from the depths of hell, the demons hold my soul again, screaming out oh well. Inhale slow, forget the pain. Inhale slow, forget the pain. I'll never be, rid of this stain.
