Broken hearts float past on dreary skies What once we had now torn asunder Forgotten, or merely cast aside I wonder, Do you ever think of me Alas, such a twisted fate For you to claim my salvation Once more we return To simple strangers on an afternoon
Depression is a bad nightmare If you could only scream you could be saved But every time you open your mouth you have no voice This void fills and fills and fills you to the brim Forever stretched until you break A meager word capable of sending you tumbling back down Shattering all the progress you worked so hard for It’s all in your head they say It’s just in your head But you see the issue is So am I This prison in my head is what a supermax wishes to be Impenetrable personal hell The only way out is through but how can I go through when a simple thought fills my lungs with dread I’ve been drowning for years on your words It’s not just a battle, it’s a never ending war One that leaves no prisoners Depression is a silent stalker in the background Always lurking in the shadows A chokehold against opportunity This disgraceful monster taints all it touches Spreading its malice through my brain For nigh upon a decade I’ve lived with this demon on my shoulder Clawing away at my flesh
In the midst of humanity one realizes how absolute solitude is This never ending curse drains at my soul Bleeding out memories on a blank page I cried out all my tears on you, my dear The traitor to my faith How much was it you, or how much did I let you stain We all die alone, solitude is the one truth of this cruel world On Christmas Eve I learned the harsh reality When you left me alone in this world It was quick and painless Or so they say But shit dear, I’d swear this pain would swallow me whole The longing for a taste of steel Drip my tears out my wrist once more How do you cope with absolute loss The emptiness will haunt you Waiting behind every corner, every white sheet How does one maintain faith when solitude is all that remains My dear I fear I’ll see you again
You overshadow everything
Your poison dripping through my veins
This was the legacy you left me
An addiction to steel
Blood drips upon forgotten page
You've faded into blurred half memories
And yet you still infect me
Did I cry for you or her
Did she hurt me or you
I remember every place your lips touched my skin
Forever burned into memory
I remember the plea from a friend, to save you
And yet you tried to kill me
I gave you everything but that wasn't enough
So you took my pain through the years
Took my tears until none remained
And then the blood began
I remember every time I went to far
When I feared it would be the end
See this life isn't
Drift forever more on this flimsy raft of solitude
Self exile till hope is lost
The dreaded tool of death
Oh how your words shattered me
Your poison seeped into my bones
This curse you left upon me
Has me knocking at Death's door
Twas but fifty days and nights
Yet your shadow follows me evermore
Was it her or you that drove us apart?
Could it have been saved?
I remember your hand, the one I ignored
Your lips seared into my memories, ever fading more
Nigh upon a decade now and yet you haunt my daily life
This treacherous affliction
Of agony and remorse
Oh how broken you've left me
Drifting off alone
I may have stepped onto this ledge
But it wa
Despair flows from broken vein
Clawing for some release from this hell
A repeat of her
And the years that followed
Twisted fate and shattered dreams
What use is hope but a lie
Truth hurts and truth kills
Spare me the pain of this life
I swore to her never again would I take the kiss of steel
And yet time and time again
Broken faith and trails of blood are all that remain
Death awaits us all
Forever marching onwards
Into the depths of darkness
Despair with me!
Oh fallen angel, how you sleep alone tonight
I find myself wondering what it's like
Where you are
Set free from the pain of life
The torment of your soul
How I wish my dear
I might meet you there
How I fear my dear
I'll be there with you soon
This treacherous agony beating through my veins
Once again a traitor to my word

You loved me,
I loved you,
Now you hate me
And I can't see
Through these tears of hurt and love lost
Stuck in an ocean of depression,
You were my boat in stormy seas,
Emotion blazin, Fury roarin,
I can't tell what anything is,
A hurricane of thought and feeling,
All of this brought upon by a couple of words from you;
You saved me,
I saved you,
But now you are the dagger in me,
Ripping out a piece of me,
I was your moon,
Reflecting the love you gave to me,
For 50 days and 50 nights,
You were mine,
I was yours,
You were the missing part,
From inside my heart,
Emotion blazin, Fury roarin,
I can't tell what anything is,
