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
