DARK ROOM WITH A BLEAK VIEW
Clawing at the walls of my own prison
That I build up around myself
Complications that I cannot explain
Kept me in this personal Hell
I wish I could but I never
Find my way out because there’s a
Dark room with a bleak view
The horizon with a dead sun
Black skies in the mind’s eye
An incision that’s unforgiven
Murder behind the thunder
That dies before the haunted light
I swear we’ve never shined so bright
Than in our darkest hour
If you look at the thing in the mirror
Your soul stares back with bloodshot eyes
What is this fucking monster I’ve become?
How can I claim this life of mine?
I wish I could but I never
Find my way out because there’s a
Black out without a doubt
When Poseidon eclipsed the dawn
The crux of the dusk’s husk
Our collision in Elysium
Hades across the decades
Finds me scattered across the sea
I swear we’ve never shined so bright
Than in our darkest hour
The scars remind me
Of when the cold steel
Kissed tender skin
My heart never beat
So fucking hard
When the thrill of death
Showed me more love
Than anything else
Are you surprised
That I never cared
Just what you thought
Or fucking said?
I’d die again
With no second thought
Only if it means
Never seeing you again
I wish I could but I never
Find my way out because there’s a
Black out without a doubt
When Poseidon eclipsed the dawn
The crux of the dusk’s husk
Our collision in Elysium
Hades across the decades
Finds me scattered across the sea
I wish I could but I never
Find my way out because there’s a
Dark room with a bleak view
The horizon with a dead sun
Black skies in the mind’s eye
An incision that’s unforgiven
Murder behind the thunder
That dies before the haunted light
I swear we’ve never shined so bright
Than in our darkest hour
I swear we’ve never shined so bright
Than in our darkest hour

I concur ..."Bad-ass" Frank!!!
This my favorite bit...
"Dark room with a bleak view
The horizon with a dead sun
Black skies in the mind’s eye
An incision that’s unforgiven
Murder behind the thunder
That dies before the haunted light"
Like a fist the whole way through
Skillful pen flowing easily!!!
