Everlasting
A poisoned barb in my heart
Dipped in bitter tears and shame
The traitor, I’ll play the part
Burdened forever to take the blame
The weight puts me on my knees
Waste away to skin and bones
I have no more blood to bleed
Chisel my name on the tombstone
No forgiveness for sins I can’t atone
I’m forsaken to never return home
Trapped like a wraith underneath the stairs
To exist in this everlasting nightmare
She comes to me in twilight
Hours when sleep’s faraway
Just like a ghost in the night
I beg her wisp, “Why won’t you stay?”
Torments me with bloodshed scenes
Of pale white wrists bleeding out
Who’s crimson hand, I can’t seem
To find the truth in all this doubt
Shadows are born
When all was torn
From my grasp
These shaking hands
And past
No forgiveness for sins I can’t atone
I’m forsaken to never return home
Trapped like a wraith underneath the stares
To exist in this everlasting nightmare
Madness ensues
We were once two
Hearts entwined
Now the flames have
Died
Darkness at dawn
Now we are one
Tragic song
Verses have all
Gone
What specters remain
Will never be the same
Envision my suffering
At the end of this game
Tear stained cheeks remind
Me of all of those times
Strengthens the heartbreak
You were once exclusively mine
She comes with a murder of crows
And goes away like the plague
I swear I hear them below
Their voices are distorted and vague
“Killer,” they all scream at me
The straight razor stained my hand
How could you hate me so much
To leave me broken and condemned?
Foolish, I know
Waste undertows
Wash away
All the feelings
Crave
Your forgiveness for sins I can’t atone
Now forsaken to never return home
Trapped like a wraith underneath the stairs
To exist, eternally, in this everlasting nightmare
Darkness at dawn
Now we are one
Tragic song
Verses have all
Gone
Madness ensues
We were once two
Hearts entwined
Now the flames have
Died
Now
The
Flames
Have
Died
