A Town Called Suicide Pt. 2

a silent phantom
walks the halls
watching his world
as darkness falls

he's the oldest resident
of a town called Suicide
and he of all people
knows there's no place to hide

nowhere to hide
from the sins of his past
the cold black memories
are all that will last

he remembers what he was
a happy young man
before he ended his life
and all this began

now he wanders the streets
all alone
looking for some way
to atone

to atone for his past
and his mistakes
before the last shred of his heart
finally breaks
