Darkness comes to take me home,
Home to the shadows where I belong,
Too long have I spent away from its embrace,
Too long have I spent in this blinding light,
Hoping for something more,
Something to quantify this sad existence.
But hope is a poison,
Bringing delirium of better times,
Only to choke the life from your dreams,
Harsh reality mercilessly at your throat,
Squeezing all childish thoughts out of existence,
Leaving you to asphyxiate upon the smothering truth of reality.
To dream is to die,
To love is to suffer,
Hope and you will not live,
To see you live for a dream will only see you die for the truth.
This world is not the place for dreams,
This place of pain and suffering,
Spending our lives searching for someone to love,
Someone to hold,
Someone to need,
And only finding razor blade salvation,
The crimson tears from our body releasing our tortured soul,
One agonizing drip at a time,
Our fragile forms the only escape from existence.
We stupid humans,
Ignorant cattle,
Who fight to live in this world,
A world that slowly kills us.
