Purity In Darkness

My thoughts are lost in time
My lies forget what’s real
The more I try to find
The more my pain reveals

The floods that wash my face
The fate that pulls me down
There’s nothing but this place
I can never drown

My dreams are made from sin
The fabric that tears with hope
Without it I am skin
Without it I am lost

The portraits that I see
They’re fading as I watch
The black-hole becoming me
I taint and never stop

I died so long ago
The reaper made a deal
The fear made me stay
As payment I can’t feel

Open eyed and blind
The dirt will suffer me
The darkness is my mind
The darkness sets me free
