Emotions That Bear No Name

You know, the cold void in your mind The type that makes your sanity go blind It lingers long and turns your lips blue It sticks your vocal chords stuck like glue Your lungs shrink as you try to breathe It drops you onto your knees in defeat It nibbles your meat and drains all the heat A blackened disease that leaves you deceased As the silver kisses your skin, it remains You try to stay calm, you try to stay sane But you hear it calling and shouting your name Making you scream and create crimson stains The silver devours your skin as you cry You're asking it screaming, asking it why Full saturation just passes you by Light always seems to escape from your eyes
