Affinity

Renegade, betrayer, rogue Forsaken everything that I've ever known Beholden to ideals with no place to call home The blood on my hands drips down these barren halls In every crevice can be found the echo and the sound Being slowly driven mad from the silence all around The dreamer sleeps but the beast is awake I fall through the earth as my mind begins to break I will journey to the edge of the earth In deepest reaches there's no stars to curse Condemned by self affliction In this labyrinth of my own making Shards of my past splinter and shear Each minute an hour, every day a year Here in the dark I suppress my fears Regression forlorn, the hunter appears Kinslayer, outcast, an exile Yes I turned my back on your immoral ways I will not be bound by such malicious hate Though I seethe with ventless rage I swear this oath a path I must embrace I built this prison I made this monster Misguided and lost I beg for the answers I will journey to the edge of the earth In deepest reaches there's no stars to curse Condemned by self affliction In this labyrinth of my own making Shards of my past splinter and shear Each minute an hour, every day a year Here in the dark I suppress my fears Regression forlorn, the hunter appears Down in the darkness Burdened by blame The weight of solitude I accept my fate I will journey to the edge of the earth Exiled and outcast there is no recourse Each new beginning a crushing end My spirit won't be broken I won't relent Shards of my past, splinter and shear Beyond the halls of silence the way stands clear Out of the dark, into the night A new chapter is in sight
