your tears tell me more than i would like to know; a more reflective matter than the darkness which fills my room and now i see the world as a desolated place i'm left here alone in this cold and empty space but it's all too quiet and it's haunting me in my restless dreams flames burn in here and where you disappeared into the void so were you nothing but a sobering mirage that mirrored my fall? and now i see it all for what it really is and how the stairway burns... but the look on your face, when you said those words, still is haunting me in my restless dreams and now i see it all for what it really is it's not how much it hurts but the look on your face, when you said those words, that is haunting me in my restless dreams and now i see the world as a desolated place i'm left here alone in this cold and empty space but it's all too quiet and it's haunting me in my restless dreams

all i hear are curses piercing their way into my mind all i see are faces hiding in the dark imagine a spiritual prison where nobody hears my screams nothing more than fading shadows reality is not what it seems eyes closed, away in dreams... all i hear are voices telling me i'm a freak all i see are places all but the one i seek ice cold, no air to breathe away in dreams? i'm trapped in a spiritual prison where nobody hears me scream nothing more than fading shadows reality is far out of reach maybe it’s all just in my head i'm confused and not thinking clear instead all i hear are voices none are clear but i can see staring faces in the dark and i hear their whisperings telling me not to believe all the things i've heard and seen convince me it's not a dream it's not a dream it's not a dream!

they tell me i can't leave because i suffer from a mental disease i'll manage to get through, by regretting the things you've made me do? i've been staring at your picture for more than a thousand days can't stop to admire the shades of amazing greys have you seen my scars? don't they mean a thing to you? and if you read my thoughts, would you think i'm crazy too? i've been staring at your picture for more than a thousand days can't stop to admire the shades of amazing, amazing greys and the years come and go where have you gone? i'm so alone... will you ever come...?

noises faint in the depths of silence what is there to save? no promise left to be made i won't say goodbye unless you stay with all doubts aligned in ecliptic form having obscured the light i shun i am wandering in the dark and i try to run but you won’t let me reach you i want to stay with you our time will come i want to wait with you and stare into the sun i want to leave with you when silence falls

wings covered with dust and cries don't come across as simple lies to cover up the scars beneath the skin; left inside, nearly ruined sleep... to make the days go by off to a place so far away from you; where dusk screams until the grace of night, it's nearly soothing just so that i could stay i'll burn myself like a moth to the flame... and it might be cruel to liberate myself from your everlasting violent gentleness like that... but... leave me to burn!

designed to speak without words, given by one who speaks in tongues symbol of affection received by those who deserve none subject to the curse of superficial emptiness for the meaning lies within blood red petals and a crush don’t mind the rose i gave you no matter what i do my effort’s worthless and i don’t know why i want you to say it hurts is it just coincidence, sadistic gift of circumstance? downward spiral of hail entwines the bad with the worse don’t mind the rose i gave you no matter what i do my effort’s worthless and i know now why i want you to say it hurts... maybe you should be the one left to bleed in a bath of thorns emblematic meanings? undone!

funeral 04:45
snow gently falls on my cold skin the touch of frost leaves a mark; a frozen promise from winter's heart i stray from the path that i'm supposed to follow and of all peculiar things, it's the way it draws me in so imposing, thus it begins... i hear a couple arguing through an open window about them not sharing a tomorrow as i walk past a funeral, there are people crying and i’m condoling... with a grin i stray from the path that i'm supposed to follow it’s a sin and i realise how perfect today has been snow gently falls on my cold skin the touch of frost leaves a mark; a frozen promise from winter’s broken heart
