Diary

Bleak ruins reality

Emptiness, misery

Covered by night I write

This bitter diary

Paper of my own skin

A pen of pointed pin

Document of the fall

A lament for us all

Shallow breath, empty haze

Reaching for final faze

When nothing does matter

When nothing means better

Before we disappear

Before we're gone

We must make sure that we

Destroy what we have done

Shadows fill our veins and build a wall

Around our hearts and clouds of pain seem to explode

Tortured souls frightened of that rain

Just only afterglows to remain

That we used to dream the same dream

But no more

Words do betray sometimes

Letters flash back sometimes

Mining back out old blame

Raising the speed of pain

Lost

Souls

So cold

Not meant to grow up and fly

I still remember when

I felt compassion

For all that we have gained

For all we have fashioned

Greedily have we loved

What we've achieved

Forgetting what we once

We once have all believed

Page after page

I tear and burn

Page after page

Shadows fill our veins and build a wall

Around our hearts and clouds of pain seem to explode

Tortured souls frightened of that rain

Just only afterglows to remain

That we used to dream the same dream

We used to build our velvet realm

But no more!
