Light Reveals Our Wounds

Dear journal, I write this as our time grows short We are once again nearing the edge You can tell by the way the glow is closing in What started as a black pillar now fills the horizon We can see far from here But there is not much to do to prevent the inevitable It's like we were dirt between two cogs A meaningless speck in front of an unstoppable force It's like the glue holding our days together Now had gone, vanished into the air We had to leave all hope behind Some spent their last days staring at the sky Our calm didn't last They told me it never does It's getting dark again Hear the screams as The alarm goes off To whoever finds these words I just wanted to say Some days were good it was never Meant to end this way Murmurs in the shadows Ominous schemes for the sole purpose of power A long line of random occurences That slowly took the shape of a plan I raise my glass to those Who knew and still Took against The coming storm This is for you This is for all of you Who had the strength To march against the coming storm Our calm didn't last They told me it never does It's getting dark again Hear the screams as The alarm goes off To whoever finds these words I just wanted to say Some days were good it was never Meant to end this way

Join me at the helm Destiny calls our names Hold my hand, my dearest Feel the growing waves One day our part Is to be found Just to be forgotten Once again Please stand with me Support my broken frame As we steer Into the mouth of doom Siren screams from the sky See how the light twists Begins to pain Shadows are here again Well we had a good run I crawl because I still Have the strength to pull myself As the flames Ignite the sky I memorize the path We traveled for so long Undeserving, ignorant Now it comes together This is where we met Here we will depart Please take me away I need to be Anywhere but here Guide me back to the start This time We will get it right

Spread the disease Spit my bile Over everything you are On all that may befall my way Hide, run for cover As I torch your halls From the tongue most vile The dark drips forth See what could've been built Of all of our hate All that could've been forged With the flame That drew our shades On the corners of your walls Tilt that head Let me drain your warmth See this disease A shadow Blacking out your star Lay your arms As I close your eyes Feel me swarm Longing to bite Closing in on your throat
