Confessional
A world now standing still
In awe of what was killed
Frozen in the wake
Of every lost mistake
Nowhere to begin
For every broken thing
Silence strangles thought
In shock of what I caught
A darkness shining through
Replaying every truth
Alone beyond repair
Repayments I can’t spare
And all in my defence
I proclaim innocence
Perhaps there was a time
But not for my greatest crimes
The pain has turned to ice
My shame shrouded by night
The stars will shape her face
The hearts that I betrayed
Averting all denial
This humble crying child
Desires to atone
Until the dark is overthrown
