There’s a pain building inside me
And it hurts more than you can tell me it doesn’t
And your words, they don’t make it any less real
Shedding light upon the blood
Shimmering in the shadowed glow of the muted lights...
I don’t want to die
No less than you do
Has it ever occurred to you
That your overtly critical words-
Your virtuous warnings
Only cause me to ache more?
Like a ghost to the world
I’m invisible among the labyrinth
Cast in with the rest of these nothings
Cast out from what you tell I should be
There’s a fear screaming out of me
Mouths opening in silence that the tongue can’t form itself around
I bleed for your god, a contrast to your perfection
Shed the light, but it fails me somehow
Shimmering, shimmering, shimmering
Cracking, drying, bleeding, crying
Deceiving, counting, pounding, overpowering
Dead. dead. dead.
<--- fall into my patterened tears... [return]
<---<--- catch me as i fall? [CS]
