There is poison in my veins
Burning away my heart like acid
My sin crushes my soul
All happyness slips through my hands
There is no end to this endless torment
The last strand of hope is a rope
Holding me over the abyss
With one last look up I let go
Just wishing there was something
or someone to catch me
They say a demon stalks the streets
The butcher they call him
A wolf in sheep's clothing
But I am not afraid
For I know him and he is me
Always roaming and looking for prey
Destroying all and giving nothing in return
A shell of a human nothing left but torment
Steer clear for nothing escapes his path
The soul that lives in my chest
Will not let me fall
This heart keeps me strong
Love me or hate me I am always here
Not an angel nor a demon
Call me what you will
I walk this path alone
the way i live defines me
And my life will not be forgotten
The weight on my soul is crushing me
Shadows bleed and love burns
Clouds follow and rain black tears
Forever blinding and shadowing my future
All I want is that last black embrace
Why is it denied to me
There is a purpose to this existence
I will find it and forever hold on
For life is nothing but a brief wait
For the night calls and
All you can do is grasp on
to that on true inspiring, happy feeling
And let all else fall around you
My heart is an arrow
Flying straight and true
Never faltering and never misguided
All it needs is a target
Just a place to land and keep solid
You can always find the archer
But a true worthwhile target
Is harder to find
I see ash falling as i gaze at the sky
I am a haunted man
Looking for a release
A way to find something to fill this void
Shadows crawl and light fades
Night calls with her siren song
I am coming but not without a fight
Darkness falls but i still walk tall
I will not give up without a war
I will find my salvation
Darkness never goes away
But just maybe i can find a shining light
To save me from pure deprivation
Beasts stalk the horizon
They have come calling for me
I am one of them and embrace the night
for every man and woman have a beast within
I just enjoy the call of the hunt
for without them what am i
nothing but a shadow of myself
I am a hunter and a predator
I call back because i know
with them i can be my true self
Life spirals as an infinite loop
Endless night and waning sunlight
Day after day like being stuck on repeat
but once in a starry night as clouds part
the clock slows and we feel emotions renewed
the feeling once felt are realized and embraced
Life can be savored and we can feel that happiness once more
