The Dark Does Bleed
Even my closed eyes cannot hide from pure agony
My mind can’t help but scream from the bloody tales
That caresses itself into the imprints of this young heart
And closes its shadow gates around my heart
Oh how I have searched for peace in this bloody phase
This bloody phase, where roses weepfrom the bowed night’s force
I have diligently searched for the kiss of comfort
Yet it seems that this blood curling fear must run its course
I am blinded by darkness’s brightness
I am damned by its giggle of insanity
My mind has played chase with my enemy
Determined to chase it to liberty
I twirl in shadowed time suspended by the sharp cords of agony
The lack of sight, my undoing
My eyes sobbing from the curse of not being able to see
As into the depths of my soul is poured this horrid melody
Ah yes… the melody of fright
The tunes dance in my fading mind with a mocking smile
They curl my muscles into pathetic whispers of strength
Mocking the trembles that possess the last of my sanity
From the pores of this cursed imagination
Blood pours down
Ah… I can see everything in the slight wicked gleam… of blood
Its shine dances off my every thought
Its moisture reflects the feeble protection around my foundations
I am lost in these torrents of self denial
I cant accept that they have taken over me
My body is cloaked in the insanity of crimson blood
Shining for all the nature of weakness to see
My shroud has been laid
Cloaked in my monsters
Oh yes they wait eagerly
They hunger for the youth of my immaturity
Memories prove to be my undoing
The key to the lock that guards my growing insanity
Thinking is my foe
For it pours out my demons for all to see
My shroud has been laid
Cloaked in my monsters
Oh yes they wait eagerly
They hunger for the youth of my immaturity
Memories prove to be my undoing
The key to the lock that guards my growing insanity
Thinking is my foe
