lyrics

I masquerade abysmally
Led into the moment’s fray
Fear of being seen once more hides me from day
Their apparent woven mockeries tear me from the seams
None will know the nothingness of this bereave

The devil doth speak to me
With a still of laughter and peace

A glass with nothing to fill
You make the confusion bereft of my will

Descend in chosen black memory
All of which end the same
Denied the lucid blank reveries
Gone unknown, a sorrow’s grace
Distractions of mine subside
Ignorant to the past
Injury sustains to an end
Swirling design possess this head

Marauders faint sickly to the lowered sun
The pose of the lilac tree points towards the one

The tyranny of light shaded judgements
What’s left withstood the paling name
Despite your efforts to capture me
Your feeble mind failed insane
To know the song of entranced eves
Desires that wail across the wake
Another choice left unrelieved
Great barrier of idle disdain

Resent me once again
An apathy I must send
Your waiting of love’s caress
The silk remains far from breath

Goes the unholy black thunder
A storm known evermore
Your reaping lacks to make order
The face of the closing door

Though once believed of heart changing comforts
Forget my life, I’ll find the peace
Serrated the morning comes
Awake to live the doubt today
Black fire told prophecy
Vanquished the writings of disease
For my entire time alive
Silence stood at the scene


Resent me once again
The apathy I must send
Your waiting of love’s caress
Their symphonies of the end set me free

Resistance is made
Chromatic of blaze
Alone I bleed in the broken glass
Persist through my ways
The grasp of this pain
The weeping echoes from the first memory
The gusts brim the corpses
The lives I have slain
Their hopes die in howling vast tragedy
An eclipse of this shame
The loss of my faith
Again my indifferent breath everlasts

Ghost of pleas
I reject thee
