Free In the Shadows

I Wish To Hide, To Disappear,
In The Shadows That I Fear
‘Tis The Only Place I Can Be,
Hurting No One But Me.

Rivers Of Blood,
Banks Of Muck And Mud,
Broken Hearts And Severed Scars,
Can’t Escape These Prison Bars.

It’s A Small, Dark Place,
Stuck In This Place.
Will I; Can I Be Found
A Whisper, A Voice, By Any Sound.

My Cries Gone Silent,
My Eyes Becoming Violent.
Darkness Surrounding Now,
Light, It Won’t Allow.

My Mind, My Fears Consume,
Death Begins To Bloom.
Black And Red,
World Starts To Mend
Chaos Raging, “LET ME OUT!”

Erase All Lies, No More Doubt.
I’m Free, I’m Gone.
In This Life, I’m Far From Done.
