The Void Alone

Compulsion and numbness become The only way that I can survive This moment is the closest thing I'll ever have to paradise Color reflects as the night projects A glitch in the frame for this life of excess Tell me secrets of life and death For I foresee my grave Forget the past Or be swarmed with regret A pulse in the veins As I wait for the end Fighting fear, I wait in agony Seeping into the soil Rust upon the coil I am swarmed with self-contempt Never again, no never again I don't want to face The void alone The warmth in me Swallowed whole The sequence of the frames A young child alone Speak to me So gracefully You saw me through the lights And we had only time Paradise awaits as I unfold Bleeding days into the soil Forgetting the child you always were Becoming the man takes more than words Hate the way my thoughts they sway Home is but a place, a cage in a frame
