The Plague
I came back for you I don't recognize this place I called home Paintings conceal cracks that could not heal All my life I heard your voice Why did I wait so long... I came back for you I don't recognize this place I called home Windows replaced Scars on that same face All my life I heard your voice Why did I wait so long... Lock the empty room Leave the key inside Turn and walk away Leave it all behind Purge the fear of your own design I will help you to mend a broken line I know these words mean nothing

Drifting deeper in the jade Drowning in the verde fade Slowly I am swept away Taken to a darker day When you were not mine, fate resigned Blood was paid and flesh betrayed If I could find the way back home I know I'd see you waiting there for me So we could lock away our memories And with the dawn, we'll be reborn Your clientele My padded cell I'll never win this fight I'll never see our light There is no cure Poison the pure Pictures pulsing in and out Vertigo via roundabout Broken glass photographs Afterthought epitaphs Marching under banners of death Spare me, o wicked tongue Echoes of other lungs Breathing your breath You cried out their names Casting hope down in flames If I could find the way back home I know I'd see you waiting there for me So we could lock away our memories And with the dawn, we'll be reborn Your clientele My padded cell I'll never win this fight I'll never see our light There is no cure Poison the pure I want to forget these waking dreams

I've said it all before the same way The words are taking on divergence Why veil the treason with intention Myopic misinterpretations Shine the way With one all encompassing truth Bemuse the minds that abuse Spread the light in every direction Pave the path without one correction Taint the law With views only you could conceive I hear things I would never believe As much as I may again be your guide I fail over and over again You know the feeling that I get When I am around all the chaos I have to feed it Once all the floodgates are open I cannot control where it goes The ebb and the flow This is the fight I had in mind One to cradle my newborn lie You own the feeling, the hatred, the healing You changed what mattered the most The meaning Time to take my life I'll slice away the skin with my knife I hope they see They brought the misery unto me To autumn's winds, I pray Please free me from my pain on this day He breathes, I choke I'll end his life I swear I'll slit his throat Help me I'm scared There is blood everywhere Ignoring my cry alone I now die I've said it all before the same way The words are taking on divergence Why veil the treason with intention Myopic misinterpretations

Roads surround my fate I chose the hardest way Longing to be free No one else but me Dig a deeper hole Caging up my soul Trudging through the mud It runs in my blood Climbing from the depths, I hear the Promises I made, why can't I Run from the shadows, haunts me Why In my nightmares, I saw darkness In that darkness, I found no one I was destined to walk that path A path that has been traveled alone Spewing from my mind Lies I could not hide Tears wept at great length Hatred, give me strength Climbing from the depths, I hear the Promises I made, why can't I Run from the shadows, haunts me Why In my nightmares, I saw darkness In that darkness, I found no one I was destined to walk that path A path that has been traveled alone Don't even lie, I can see right through you Tragic truth now as a crystal It's become as clear as day The corrosion of my essence Falling, crumbling, withering within

Every night I see your face in the stars gazing down In the field standing all alone, looking up, all alone Your voice was a melody, now just a memory Rising out of the black abyss I see the moon's red reflection All in one night Love at first sight All in one night Only one night Every night, I see your eyes in the mist watching me I am one with the falling rain, crashing waves call out your name Staring out into the sea, drowning in an emerald ocean Rising out of the black abyss I see the moon's red reflection All in one night Love at first sight All in one night Only one night

High in the sky, I see you falling Why do you think that I will catch you? Past the clouds a burning fire Hear it sing like a choir You gave much more than you should have My first words are your last rites Deep within my vacant mind Sits the thought, "Maybe there is hope..." Rays of light pour from my eyes and Baptize all that lay beneath me Everything that I have gained is Nothing next to all I've lost I surrender to the blackness Hoping, praying for acceptance Deep within my vacant mind Sits the thought, "Maybe there is hope..." No sins, yet forsaken When will I awaken... This truth I won't swallow: I have become hollow I'll wait for tomorrow Where there is no sorrow I see a light in the darkness I weep as that light goes out Neverending pain Driving me insane No more, I can't take it Silent cries Bloodshot eyes I'll defy you til I fall Final living breath Welcomed into death Mercy please, I'll beg for mercy Now alone On my own All I wanted was salvation Lost and staring at the ground I Realize: "I am nothing" Tears are streaming down my face and Seeping deep into my wounds I am beaten, I am battered Dripping blood, my wings are tattered Broken, I fall to my knees and Cry to the sky, "Heaven, take me home"
