Tenebrous

The sun is just above the horizon
And the world is slowly going gray
Wind gently floats leaves aloft
And chills the wetness on my face
I wish this moment could be frozen
I wish it would just pass me by
This chill in the evening air
Gives me a bit of hope for the day
But I'm afraid to face the summer
When everyone can see my pain
The quiet is enough to make me deaf
The sky has turned into a pyre
I watch my breath in clouds of white
As the sun fails to hold onto the day

SALIGIA (1 of 7)

There's blood on my hands
There's blood on my bed
There's blood on my memories
My mind filled with red

I don't know who's it is
And I don't know how it got there
I can only remember red mist
And now it is everywhere

Shadows of Rain

I look back on the past and cannot see a thing
I can't squeeze any tighter on this fading memory
I'm at the point where I can no longer breath
And despite myself I fear I'll never be set free

How can I let go of the colors I've always known
And set free the thoughts trapped inside my head
Breathing life into the things I thought I knew
Before I got trapped in this place of the dead

Everyday is filled with shadows of what once was
And with glances into what just might have been
There's a paranoid feeling that death haunts me
With all of the sorrow that cannot be unseen

Songs of Solitude

It's a terrible thing
When angels fall in love
It's such a quiet suicide
Ignorance entangled in bliss
Death comes creeping in
Casualty of causality
And blood keeps falling

You can't challenge memories
Or dare to hold onto futures
That are vanishing before you
You have to hope
That you'll take a hold
Of something someday
And that you'll learn the words
To your life's secret song
Hymns sung only inside
Of your own hopes and failures
Arias of despair and
Dirges filled with joy

The roses will die
And people will be reborn
In thoughts and words
In dirt and oxygen
Dreaming for days
And falling at night
With a shotgun in your hand
And a black snake on your mind
