Pool of Blood

Feeling self averted in this silence I’ll take hold of anything that helps me deny Dreaming that I’m free of this I’ll smile as I’m reaching bliss But something still inside me tells me why I’m seeing death as I am thrown upon it Down and out I stare as I return People with their bloody eyes Dying hearts that only lie Just give me something that will make this burn Self assured lies Paralyse Repeating cries Until I die If I pull myself and catch up with expectance I know that I must swim under the pool Bloody rivers, veins of earth Hold my breath and make it worse But in the end I know that this will make me cool Self assured mind I am blind Circles I find I’m here until I die In a world where angels voices can not sing A world where only devils ever win Justifying feared states Dependence falls upon our hate I can never stand in peace when I live in sin
