The Gargoyle

Living and breathing
I crave for these things
Staying and leaving
The lies build inside
Denying I’m grieving
This devil has wings
Killing the weeping
Yet I still try to hide
I’m judging those with their minds

Flying and Hating
Observing all in my shadow
Dying, relating
Alone and breaking with time
Watching and picking
Their minds can’t elude
Hoping and healing
Killing me is no crime
I’m not breathing inside

Darkness becoming my eyes
Living contradicting my mind
Hating yet loving my lies
I’m far too messed up inside
I’m watching all that pass by
They breathe out all that they find
Alone I’m forced to ask why
Kill me before I survive

Sleeping, I’m dreaming
Reflecting, Redeeming
Taking is part of the lie
Dreaming I’m leaving
Sensations are free from my sighs
Let me be free inside
Denying me this is all that I find
