Chains
One chain to simplify these words
Shackled to one that makes it hurt
Twisting the loneliness that comes
Thrown in a pit to take away the sun
So gone but far too deep inside
The thorn of her love sickening my mind
My chain is digging into me
The pain in this pit is making me see
Walls carved with memories of the day
Reminding the night that it will always stay
This darkness cuts away my sight
Everything that I was becomes a product of night
More chains that deepen my despair
I’m too lost to see that I’m too numb to care
More blood to stain these poisoned dreams
I’ve forgotten her name, but I recall the screams
Memories now serve the things I need
I have to escape before I am deceived
I climb towards the purest light
But my flesh burns away, and I fall into the night
More chains and more dissolving names
Her face is a flash of the sharpest pain
I sleep alone forever more
Deep in a pit, where there is no before
