right in the time of death
the night wraps my eyes
with cool, smooth hate
turning friends to enemies
and enemies into demons
a world far out of reach
beckons me to return
from some deep hole I dug

worlds away the light is dim
nothing shines anymore
too many shadows can't breathe
darkened by hate, raped of love
dying from within I burn alive
wishing it would just all end
no remorse for the scorned
and no safe place for the damned

straight into the unknown
I strangle my own neck
with hands coated in my own blood
suffocate the hurt and I'll be fine
release the demon to run free
hope it never comes back to me
but hope is hopeless
only a light show to mask
the complete solitude it takes
to be me
