The Dark Where I Reside

Shed your fears onto me and let them wash away your sins, The sacrifice of your innocent youth can free your yearning soul, I am not the contempt that you were warned of, I am the desire in your heart bound by your bloody veins, I have felt your thoughts darken to where I reside, Do not hide them from I that feeds you, You know the thoughts I talk of, The blackest ones, The ones that dismay your very purity, That scare your very being for fear that they should somehow leak out, I know those thoughts, I know them all too well, Why torment yourself so, Hiding behind masks of skin and secrets, None of you speak truth, Only that which liars deem prove you worthy, But none of your kind are truly worthy, How can you be when denial is your greatest strength. I can ease your shallow burden, If you will only let me, I will lift the burden of living from you, And free your desires from the weight of circumstance, You will be born again, Never to know the manacles of your misconstrued life, A moment with me will be an eternity without inhibition, Come join with us, Release yourself, Be all that you can be.
