The Void Alone

Compulsion and numbness become

The only way that I can survive

This moment is the closest thing

I'll ever have to paradise

Color reflects as the night projects

A glitch in the frame for this life of excess

Tell me secrets of life and death

For I foresee my grave

Forget the past

Or be swarmed with regret

A pulse in the veins

As I wait for the end

Fighting fear, I wait in agony

Seeping into the soil

Rust upon the coil

I am swarmed with self-contempt

Never again, no, never again

I don't want to face

The void alone

The warmth in me

Swallowed whole

Sequence in the flames

A young child alone

Speak to me

So gracefully

You saw me through the lights

And we had only time

Paradise awaits as I unfold

Bleeding days into the soil

Forgetting the child you always were

Becoming a man takes more than words

Hate the way my thoughts, they sway

Home is but a place, a cage in a frame
