The Dead Inside

I can’t caress these new dimensions My shifting face is imbued with lost pain And my hope is too deceiving The things I love are thrown away by this state Onwards hereafter What I feel will still swallow my mind And the love I will imagine Will still be broken down here, inside Everything is in a shadow And what I give is coated in dire flame I should look for one more answer But every reason becomes another dead game Disguise my shelter Or run off to devils in prayer Hide in this nothing Or become nothing that waits in his lair I’m sure my path will soon awaken And it will drag me to the end of what I am Because even with courage The dead within me still holds my good hand
