Moonlighter

Empty Entry A deserted invitation Tracing footsteps I've made once before Shapes aloft, my chest compresses The breeze flows in shimmers Resonate! Behold, another hindrance Flooding, consuming me An imposing, intricate will Illustrator! Fabrications! The wind in the leaves The cool sting of night on my face A golden moment, a sight with no palette Impossibility dancing for me The moon as the sun These lines drawn stagnant The scene bled dry of its color World's intent, subtle and latent This air breathes like no other Stellar window, lost fruition Moonlight holds its fixation Structures come crashing. A dwelling embedded Two worlds fighting, perfection in chaos A guiding lamplight. Mangled and waning It's halo grounded, feeding the unknown I'm home, it's homeless Vacant, deprived Here I am someone, but among nothing Finding abandon Wretched, picturesque The Mass' eviction, nuclear isolation Welcomed with an empty howl The echos lay dreary and hidden Held out overnight No one to listen Creeping, heavy loom Swallows all within its shadow Blooming silhouette Growing finality Reaching far beyond sight Contorting the space in between Shortened stride, dragged by the tide Brought into view of what's to be seen A likeness amidst the figures Acting only in cycles Frantic and urgent they hurry through shadows Their pace is quickened, invader Hour of witches demands blood to be spilled The lights show no timely soul The dark of the threshold competes with the night Visions of idleness can't hold Forever Callous bludgeoner What more could sate the thief Irreversible permanence You'll earn your penitence Callous bludgeoner What more could sate The Thief Irreversible permanence Glutton, you must have had your fill Gaping eyes bestowed by the moon Calls deafened by the fall A hand extended, breaks the fixation What hides behind the night (The Thief) On my own too long Do you hold the Key? You'll uncoil me? Surely, my savior Will this release me? I know why you're here. I've begged and prayed for it Don't spin me your lies, I've heard it all before I wish it were me, the second fate went swinging But this wasn't the plan, I never knew his name Open the door, find solace in the absence Pull me from this strain The echoes that gnaw, toothless and silent Send word of me Oh my god it's starting... Sinking, sinking, sinking Can't relive this, stop this Let me just be nothing! You weren't here before You have to be the way It must be, you must be! I've learned that blood can't soak deeper than this End me here, I'm changed, I'm done Look at my hands, look at me Look at me now! Look at me now! God, please, look at me now! Look at me now! Look at me now! My God, Please! LOOK AT ME NOW!
