A Silent Prayer For The Haunted

Hell Within

Daylight
 Four days you're gone
 Still chasing sleep
 Black spectres born from dark shadows in my mind
 One step to the edge I'm taking
 The last remnants of who I used to be
 My still blackened skies
 You've got to burn your eyes to see
 Unguarded thoughts betray a frail mind
 So what
 If I lost all compassion?
 (Just like you)
 Would you make me a martyr?
 I'm not afraid to die
 Shut me up with some new damage
 One step to the edge I'm taking
 The last remnants of who I used to be
 My still blackened skies
 You've got to burn your eyes to see
 Flowers for an empty grave
 To your knees to brush away
 An epitaph you just can't say
 Between the leaves reads your name
 The tide has washed you back to me
 Into my arms lay you down to sleep
 Call it love or just revenge
 A fitting end for us, my friend
 Time for mending came and went I tore you from my heart
 So just walk away I tried to open your eyes
 Your soul was shackled since the point of inception
 There is no grace
 So just fall away
 The hourglass spans the length of a life time
