Drown in Ash

Clutching to the withered strands of existence, Submerged under black consuming soil. Confined, imprisoned, my lungs constricted, And each breath inhales, restricting filthy dirt. Crawling, scratching, finally break through the surface, A burning phoenix into, ice-cold pounding rain. Ascending through to see, that no sun shines above, Waiting for a dawn, that will never come. I wither, I fall apart, time heals nothing, Too little time to fix, all that is broken. Reaching out for compassion, when all I feel nothing. I long to be hoisted out, but no one is coming. Too weary to find reason, logic, it all means nothing, All former altercations futile, yet left with a longing. To re-write these dreadful chapters, but the works have been printed, I'll settle for less, I'll settle for less, I'll settle for now. A poison fog devours all hope, with no salvation. There are shadows among the trees, and close the wolves are howling. An escape from isolation, to a place too naked and open, No shelter or sanctuary, and close the wolves are howling.

I walked a lifetime to get nowhere, my past a deep yet desolate grave. I reach out for comfort, belonging, my fingers wider and decay. My anguished wail goes unnoticed, as if trapped deep underwater, What I built, a gray illusion, a work of fiction, and I drown in ash. Barely clutching to these diminished strands of stability. With nothing but a broken mind, with no basis to resume, while my mental health declines. Crushed by a bitter realization, of how fragile my web was. Where I'll spend my final days, frighted, cold, alone.

I craved the warmth, To bathe in golden sun rays. An open pasture, With no heightened trees, or no clouds, grey fingers. But I shield my eyes and hide, An internal shade of preservation. I lack the peace inside, Confined in autumn's dreadful bleakness, Confined in autumn's dreadful bleakness. The days are heavy with rain, decaying gloominess lingers, Each drop of rain is as sharp as the point of a spear. Nothing ever blooms here, In the cold, dreary autumn, Where everything comes to die, the rays don't reach me here. Far to empty and too exhausting, From feeling everything and nothing all at once. Left alone in silence, to learn too much about myself, I'm not who I was, and I'm afraid of what I've become. I find no peace or grace, my former refuge in flames, I stood on a vacant plain and watched it all uncoil. Like ashes scattered, over damp and moistened ground, To slowly vanish, into the soil. I'm not sad anymore, just tired of trying, Tired of this place, you never noticed. Before all passion left me, Your voice could always reach me, It was always my favourite, it still is. I craved your warmth, as I stood outside, looking in. I would have settled for a hollow, empty glance. You never noticed, abandoned to the ice cold winds, A hollow ghost, clocked, undetected.

We devoid all hope in life, We replaced womb with fire, The Oracle staring blind, Death words spew poison. Black locust spreads its wings, The serpent choir sings, We're in the final years, And cease existence. Raging, black fires burning from the inside out, Vampire shadows, gropes, at beating hearts. Chaos, terror, forms its web upon the eyes of babes, Chairs tearing flesh from bone, as dreams of hope escape. We devoid all hope in life, We replaced womb with fire, The Oracle staring blind, Death words spew poison. Black locust spreads its wings, The serpent choir sings, We're in the final years, And cease existence.

An everlasting hollow, Descend into barren waste, Thousands of broken pieces scattered, Reflecting black emptiness. Struggling for purpose, The way ahead valueless, Trapped in an endless autumn, The sun, a fragile light in the mist. Left alone in vacant null, To face who I really am, Broken, silenced and naked, Open wounds and a broken spirit. The darkness holds a special place, numbing from regret. Embracing the lurking bleakness, And hide in plain sight. In dark woods and dreams, Divorced from the heart. Desolation, a drowning solace, Concealing sentimental venom. The clock of dusk, a shielding beacon, Redemption in the void. Beyond the gloom of preservation, A muted affection, vacant voice. The tearing claws of dark depression, It silently returns. A losing fight, I never wanted, I'm tired of knowing it's always lurking. The tears with no meaning, The pain beneath a smile. The midnight empty longing, The dreadfulness, the endless mile. For a moment I was improving, For a moment I was feeling strong. For a moment I wanted to stay here, And in a moment, I lost it all, again. In dark woods and dreams, Divorced from the heart. Desolation, a drowning solace, Concealing sentimental venom. Thanks to eternalhelcaraxe for sending these lyrics.
