Until there's nothing left to hold a name

Lying still inside this crypt of lies
Contained within these four walls
Feeling so far away
Like flesh connected to bone
It will all soon just rot away
Leave me now to wonder
Into the cold
Out into the open
Across this barren landscape
Across this burning bridge
Forever more
Condemned to solitude
I’ve lost my will to speak
Silenced by the pain
This tragic day will echo in my dreams
Eyes down
Tears will trace my footsteps
Against the grain
it seems there is no other way
And nothing else to do
But steal the air from your lungs
To sever our bond
stem this plague
And hope the wounds will heal
That the pain will numb away
These tears will scar my cheeks
And remind me every waking day
Of the demon I’ve become
My heart no longer beats
Feeling absent from this world  
Avoiding my own reflection
For fear there isn’t one to see
But still I walk away
Into a world of fire ash and greed
In search of what I have yet to find
That seems to just run from me
With rancid gums and rotting teeth
I feed off the carcass
Consuming the body of this most tragic of fates
Clawing at it
Tearing it apart piece by piece
Blinded by rage
Screaming at the night
Crippled and lifeless
Collapsing to the ground
Twisting and contorting
Riving in pain
Grinding into the gears the bones
until there’s nothing left to hold a name
