Dark Fringe
You cast yourself away into the deep emptiness
Forever where the sun is blackened
Lunge your self into the walls you stand before
Reevaluate what it is that your living for
Do you swallow your tongue in your transgressions
From the discomfort of your own disappointments
The hollowness in your head echoes as it begins slowly dumb
The beating of a calloused heart as it begins to grow numb
Death prepares for a guest in a room with no view
As you dance with the devil underneath a pale blue moon
No anestesia pulling teeth as rusty pliers make your fingers clutch
Greatful for life but could we be happy with this much
Good and evil are not seperated by dead skin
Only to find a decaying soul in a dark fringe
Crouched over in a hall as you try to find your way out
Flashing incandescent lights are the only hope you have found
How is your journey being your own enemy, I hope it goes well
Are your walls closing in as the earth is cut out with a shovel
Shivering and weakened sleeping in cold sweats
I wont throw you away you are still my friend
There is a little black spot on the sun today
But I hope that it is warm enough that you will stay
