Untitled


I live to dream
And dream to live
With nothing
I'll have more to give
I live in darkness
Darkness lives within
It feels my pain
Knows where I've been
I fear to live
And live with fear
Inside the night
There's no one here
Falling tears
Dry on my skin
Falling tears
Washed with sin
I dream to live
And live to dream
And nothing is
What it may seem

What I've Seen


I've seen the darkest places
Abandoned spaces
Lonely sullen traces
 Of superficial faces

I've seen the cruelty
Of other's scrutiny
Too much insincerity
Lacking sensitivity

I've seen slivers of souls
Trapped in vacant holes

Heartless acts of shame
Fire lacking flame

I’ve seen the world turn black
And I won’t change it back

I’ve seen a cloudless sky
Reflected in my eye
But even mirrors lie
Leaving me asking why

This is what I’ve seen
Through a blackened screen
I take darkness to the extreme
Wondering how I still dream

Perpetual dArKnEsS


All my light
Is darkness
All my life
Is darkness
Slithering shadows
Paint my blackness
Grey dreams
Shade reality

I helplessly fall
Into darkness
I silently pray
Inside darkness
Selective senses
Keeping me sane
But without a heart
It becomes madness

All my soul
Is darkness
All my life
Is darkness
Seething sensations
Touch the dream
Insatiable desire
Left untouched

I remember my way
Back to darkness
The path always leads
Back to darkness
Suddenly seduced
By an unseen lover
I’m held close
Never to be let go
