Drowning 10:03
The light, awake, aware, recall, all that's lost memories, regrets, failures and loss Despair your life Drink your last breath Drain from your world Numb The dreams relive the nightmare Every moment aware is torment Try to escape but can't move on Drown myself, drown out the pain My life living loss My crutch by the glass Emotion fades away Hide in the haze In shadows histories replayed No light in the darkness Everythingbrings back the past Close my eyes from what I've seen Wash away my memories Dull my mind, destroy my cares
2.
You're almost lost So keep running Or the past will consume This moment fleeting If you pause For a moment's respite You will drown In the bleak days Awake, staring at the emptiness Or close to friends and succour You're always alone With the suffering You're always alone with the suffering The view from here is peaceful The world stretches out far away You can see all that lies Between the Earth and the sky Clarity is fleeting before dark days Clarity is fleeting My heart is betrayed by the twisted sight Of my darkest days and blackest nights These eyes define the vision Of ghosts gathered in memory Of the one who remain In a hostile world of perdition

Behind my eyes the night descends again Everything seems misty now, since I saw the end Lost and numb I wander, the living feel like shades The ghosts inside me, more real every day My crime marks my hands My actions gilded with rage No life without you living My workld has turned to ash I am nothing, and still I hate Forever you drove me to Where I could not go back Dependant upon you I became To define myself Resentment and frustration Defined my world of you Confined by my obsession My hate came burning through My love became my loss Damned by my self-righteous gaze Forlorn, I remember joys of you It's the little things that incite my hate anew You were my life, my soul With you, my life complete Changed, I resented my weakness Weakness exposed by you Resentment turned to rage Rage, I took to you Shattered, I live fragments Broken and hollow without you My crime marks my hands My actions gilded with rage No life without you living My world has turned to ash I am nothing, and still I hate

Nothing (free) 08:50
Is this my rightful place? I can't break free I can't break free, I'm drowning Drowning in your wake Caged in this hell of silence A silent reverence Reverence binding me, to hopelessness A thousand days and more have passed And I'm still here Walled into solitude with dying hope Such is my need A perfect vision before me Engulf my sight, I'm blind Breath escaped and would not return Frozen, words take flight In a moment, I saw it all Nurturing the seed on my salvation Countless hours alone, with my need Each departure, laced with hesitation A lack of light Uncertainty A yearning Countless moments passed I needed only one Forever a ghost Unspoken Unseen Purest devotion Haunts me

That which was black and white brings tears of grey Holes torn within the fabric of my world Spread within thought the growing menace burrows in Tendrils eat away at what was once my identity It all started slowly Little things easily dismissed] A slip of the mind Misrecollections The clouds descend, darkness crawls in, confusion Chaos takes its hold, I am lost within the prison of my skull The clouds part, but briefly, I see clear Snapshots of decline, my world decays, like my mind That which was black and white brings tears of grey Holes torn within the fabric of my world Spread within thought the growing menace burrows in Tendrils eat away at what was once my identity My gains ... Forgotten My dreams ... Forgotten My friends ... Forgotten My world ... Forgotten My past ... Gone forever My present ... Gone forever My future ... Gone forever My soul ... Gone forever
