In remission
i feel it sinking in
the blade has centered itself were i use to feel hope
demons dance behind these eyes of sorrow
can barely resist the temptation
the dying urge to cut them out
compassion has almost lost its luster
knees buckle beneath me
giving out in mid step
face down
lying dead in my own fucking tracks
getting harder to breathe
desperate and loosing sight
not even bracing for what is soon to come crashing down
head down
just lead me to the slaughter
it cant be much worse then whats become my every waking moment
nothing can mend this
its too far gone
a heart of nails all slowly being pulled out
letting the tears of ten thousand crushing days pour out like a flood
staining all that sourounds me
this toxic venomous plauge that seems to linger
and over shadow whats held deep beneath the surface
i wish these tears were snowflakes
beautifull and delicate falling into my eyes and not away
i would shut them so tightly
feel them melt wash my cares away
but my own eyes decieve me
drowning me beneath there waves of torment
washing over my head
sucking me down into the depths
lying awake feeling life pressing down
cold as ice
snow blankets me now
ill run and never look back if thats what it takes
to feel some kind of peace
back to the wall ill fire away
until my hand ceases to function
or the deamons are all lying in graves
it my only option
after the smoke clears we'll see whos still standing
whos nerves ruptured first
our ears echoing in pain
dont tempt me
dont push me
the line only crosses one way
step over it and see
.
