Gallows

Through the fissure I now see the catalyst Unknown is cold, and home is where the harm is Four walls won't save the mind from the brink My eyes bleed before I can blink

Staring back from my reflection

Faceless yet familiar apparitions

Find the character, become a parody

I am both sickness and remedy

Eternal sunshine for spotless minds

I lose mine and then I lose those who near me

I see my future so very clearly

I've seen the gallows that awaits me

Endless days or is it nights?

All melds together as the teeth of time takes its bite Beneath the calming chaos I writhe

Even the smallest ripple can change the tide Ambitions corrupted by doubt

If I'm not king, I'm not anything but static sound

As silent apathy grows omnipresent

Deeper into the abyss I descend

I can't remember how to sleep

I don't remember what it tastes like to eat

How long have I floated in nothingness?

The lines are fading between bliss and bleakness

Eternal sunshine for spotless minds

I lose mine and then I lose those who near me I see my future so very clearly

I've seen the gallows that awaits me

I don't remember dismay or delight I can't remember why I died inside

In oblivion I remain taciturn There's always another day to burn Time will cover the wounds

But it won't break the pattern Little by little, ripped and torn There's nothing to lament

So cut the story short

I already know how it ends

Eternal sunshine for spotless minds

I lose mine and then I lose those who near me I see my future so very clearly

I've seen the gallows that awaits me

Eternal twilight for mine
