Tearing the roots from the core
Burning my flesh in this immortal life
I am becoming a shadow
Abandon the light to merge with the night
Erupting from my human shell
There is nothing that could have prepared me
Leaving my body at the door
Stepping out, unknowing I'd ever return
Consuming greed and embracing the hate
Falling deeper in this world of decay
See who I am and I fall to my knees
Drowning in thoughts as there's collapsing reality
I swallowed the guilt by the foreign forces
unknown to the protected mind
Dreaming the past, thoughts like knives
I never knew I could succumb to this
The _ _ _ _ _ of April knew all I was
Failing, guilted, weakness,
Falling in the void
Hopeless, falling, dying alone
Dreamless, heartless, mindless,
Following an impulse
Soulless, drowning, dissolving alone
Their faceless,
shadows from the netherworld
Malicious,
they mock, they're threatening me
Encrypted in their concealed speech,
in secret, they hold the senses of my contempt
It's brightening, a glow from the sky
The shadows have healed with words of awakening truth
Ripping the flesh off my soul
Cleansing the being whose been locked away
Surrender my fate to the Gods
Begging for guidance to the stars above
The source enveloped me
I fell to my knees
I cried to the shadows for mercy
I looked at my shell from a pair of foreign eyes,
and saw where I went when I died
