No retreat from these horrid screams

That nag my mind day and night

No escape from embers of hatred

Awake, I see no other way out

No chance for peaceful living

No hope for future plans

I wish not for tomorrow, to come with the dawn

Like coldness flooding my soul

Driving out my very existence

Sending me to better places

Holes, tunnels and pits of coal

Pulled further away from this life

Every minute is only another step closer...

Another nail hammered in my coffin

I can not mourn... no tears of regret flood from my eyes

For my only shame is to not have seen it sooner... this blank code

Smoke carving the walls with riddles

Charred flesh and screams of agony

It is my paradise long forgotten...

Of demons speaking in tongues

No lies drip from their hollow lips

No glory in their tales of despair...

Simple truth, like a text from a book

Like the aching I feel with every breath
