I watched the walls collapse.
Beneath a hollow shell of lies.
Worn paper-thin and stained in black, fell beneath the fading light.
The shards that penetrate.
The thickest of my skin.
I feel the sting it separates, and bleeds my body of its sin.
The darkness that grows inside, like a cancer that's feeding.
Reflected behind her eyes as screams turn to silence.
The sound is deafening.
The hollow voices of regret.
Held like the damned under the flames.
Burned against the endless night.
The pain that suffocates.
prayer escapes my lips.
Force fed the lies, I'm choking back the bitter taste of what I am.
The darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding.
Reflected behind her eyes as screams turn to silence.
The pain grows to consume me.
Counting the scars left in its wake.
The endless torment of silence.
Crashing down it separates.
That darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding.
Reflected behind her eyes as screams turn to silence.
