I saw a ghost today
It was myself
I'm one with the forsaken
We're all alone and breaking
We'll all die and never reawaken
Watching but never controlling
When I look in the mirror what do I see?
The demon that lurks within me
A gaze unbroken, unable to unsee
Hurting and never healing
Anguish is all I know
Shake and break
The void calls my name
Enticing me
Telling me life will never be the same
Condemned to loss
I've given up on hope
Now I pray
I can cut me loose
From the darkness that's inside of me
No I will not become another fucking tragedy
Faded, jaded
My thoughts intoxicated
But through the struggle
My will has dominated
Rotten Mind
Bound to purgatory
Lost without the light
Stomped into darkness
I am but a rotting carcass
This darkness is all I know
Life made me to be alone
Distorted by direliction
Lost with no direction
I can't find my way
Bury me neck deep in the dirt of blame
Paralysed in pain
Bury me neck deep in the dirt of blame
Licked by flames that hiss my name
An addict to pain
A face for the insane
Oh please let me die
I've now cut the veins of my sickness
Bleeding out, fading into grey
Becoming nothing but a blank space
The forsaken
One step forward
One thousand steps down
Straight into hell
I'm what no one wants to see
There's nothing left
Just pain inside of me
How do I break free?
In agony, I cannot scream
I plea, yet no one is listening
I saw a ghost today
It was my self, burning in hell
Almost two decades of "I'm okay"
Silently suffering
Frayed to the core
Never to be restored
This is more than just paranoid
Chained here
Forevermore
This is our place in the void
This is my spot in the void
