I wish I could
Let go
Of the past
The break of day
Ghosts fade
To the last

I wish I could
Just sleep
Like martyrs
So, sacrifice
To chosen
Gods tonight

I just can't face
One more
Day like this
It is too bright
It burns
Eyes away

i need a cold dark room
to reflect upon myself
this absence of silence
is overwhelming me
shut the fucking light out
or just blind my eyes
stitch my lids closed
so i can fucking sleep
i would welcome the devil
into this fractured soul
just to feel something
without a price tag foretold
leap into the precipice
and break on the rocks below
betwixt charon and the dead
I might find some peace
at long last

But here I stand
Godless
Corrupted
And meaningless
Fuck this
I will not wait
For the reckoning
