Screamin Blood Shadows

Blood red screams shriek through the night
Fountains of tears flood as I drown in my plight
The pulsing and tearing from deep in my soul
Is a pain that pulls me and never lets go

I scream in blood shadows, 
Lost in black fears
Eyes wiped from a molten face
Pained beyond my morbid years

Words can’t describe 
And never shall you know
The depth of my madness
Or how the strength of it grows

Say your prayers for sanity 
As you lay in your bed
Hold onto your vanity
Shut out the voice in your head

Sleep in peace knowing
Your innocence will remain
As my chaos is ever glowing
You will stay forever sane
