As I Unravel

Pulling strings always seemed so dull
Until the seams gave way and unfurled woe onto the world
A new tomorrow bitter in its frailty gives way to absence
Darkness absorbs the sun

Vanguard silhouettes slowly caress all in noir
Seeping from my cracked soul
Rancid with disdain my disorder spawns and multiplies
A wave of offerings hinder not the reaping

Wreathed in remains the spectre walks alone
Absolution in devastation, haggard with lamenting
Worn out fingers grasp strings with apprehension
A new world ripe with shadows

A bloodletting of goodness stains the garment
Depravity reigns supreme
The absence of all
Black

Unfurl the madness
A gift for you and yours
Acceptance tangles your soul
Just another string upon the seams of nothingness
And still I pull further darkness
