I Am

I wish you could lay in the bed that I made
You could feel the darkness that holds me down
I wish you could walk into the sunset above me
You could feel the shadows that hold me back

You promise you know how I feel, How my thoughts form
I am numb inside my pulsing veins, My thoughts are born from sacrifice
You promise to guide me through the never and the night
I am buried beneath the stones and dead hearts

I am the thought that pushes you over the edge
I am the wind that embraces light
I am the rat that feeds off the scraps
I am the foul breath upon your neck

I wish you could lay within my stained glass casket
You could feel the hell that welcomes me home
I wish you could light your blood on fire
You could feel the hatred I hold for myself

I am life, I am death, I am the breath longing for air
I am truth, I am lies, I am the words begging for an audience
I am love, I am hate, I am the embrace bonding angel and devil
I am peace, I am war, I am the bullet ripping through cowardice
