Losing this war with myself
I can't put the past on the shelf
I can't allow you to see
What this pain has done to me
And how the shadows called
Me to the darker side
How i left behind
All the thoughts of you
Now i run from the truth
And i would even die
To protect my sacred lie
To show i was not afraid
Of the darkest shade that haunts my mind
Of the nonexistent escape i try to find
The way you laughed at me
And what you thought i would be
Just further condemned my soul
To enter the darkest place
And forever escape your face
But like all the times before
You tightly shut the door
I have no options left to take
You are nothing but a fake
Just leave me here
Lost in my fear
And alone in my own hell
I crumble into dust
And the embers of my life grow cold
For the lure of temptation
Leads to the pain of damnation
Wandering the desolate plain
I have sought what was stolen
And lost my last bit of light
My last bit of hope
Becomes nothing more than smoke
While on my despair i choke
Torn inside i scream
Ripped apart i bleed
Crushed inside by the regret
Reaching for what i cannot get
Searching for what i cannot find
I just want some peace for my mind
But the road stretches on
Forever it does weave
Thru the tombs of time
The dead moan from inside
They can never leave
Their souls roaming the land
Their bodies rotting in the sand
And here alone i stand
Facing the kingdom of the damned
Facing the eternal expanse of darkness
Knowing that i will also roam the land
And knowing that i will also rot in the sand....
