No retreat from these horrid screams That nag my mind day and night No escape from embers of hatred Awake, I see no other way out No chance for peaceful living No hope for future plans I wish not for tomorrow, to come with the dawn Like coldness flooding my soul Driving out my very existence Sending me to better places Holes, tunnels and pits of coal Pulled further away from this life Every minute is only another step closer... Another nail hammered in my coffin I can not mourn... no tears of regret flood from my eyes For my only shame is to not have seen it sooner... this blank code Smoke carving the walls with riddles Charred flesh and screams of agony It is my paradise long forgotten... Of demons speaking in tongues No lies drip from their hollow lips No glory in their tales of despair... Simple truth, like a text from a book Like the aching I feel with every breath
