OVERCOME

Within sleep, unspoken scars
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams

Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts

All reasons aside
Something in me died
I'm frozen in shadow
And there's no tears left to cry
The seasons go by
Only wasted time
There's nothing of fondness
Just a vessel in the crowd

Memories of requited love
Wrapped in hemlock, drenched in blood
There's a ghost inside the fall
That screams for peace
From our stories we abstain
Grasp the rope of amnesty
Seek the future from this pain
And never cease

All reasons aside
Something sparked a fire
These embers I'll follow
'Til there's no clouds in the sky
The seasons go by
Finding paths to climb
Now my eyes are yearning
I'm diverging from the crowd
