A sound that resonates Embedded deep beneath me it waits The strangled cries that drain from me Every ounce of strength from within Contorted soul, casualty of inner war The overpowering pain A corruption on the mural of memories Forever spiralling down Compelling the loneliness which persuades an invitation Of helplessness that wont be overcome A monarch of abandonment And the darkness that brings me calm Is broken by a burning light A relentless siege on my sanctuary of inner silence The walls of my resolve barraged by fear's artillery I am the casualty of war waged by insanity Where do I go, what do I do Why is this happening to me? And all that's left is me Shattered psyche and withered self The light that pierces my eyes Burns my flesh from the inside A devastated, comatose psyche A suffocating haze of atrophy I'm blind, I'm lost, alone I'm blind Broken, left to writhe in agony Silent scream from strangled throat Crushed by iron hands unseen A sinful mental prison cell A penance paid with inner pain Counting the days to escape from this cursed light Counting the days to escape from this cursed light Burning my eyes from the back of my mind Accursed light, burning the sky, leaving me broken and blind Withering in my decay, my lifeblood drained A catatonic neurosis, cancer of mind Embodied by burning light Burning the sky, burning my mind (light) Burning the sky, burning my mind Nestled away, I feel my sanity clinging to life Betraying everything I've come to love I never thought about the loneliness I'm feeling til now I shall find you
