Twisted Kingdom

Down, down, drowned
buried in the ground
can't find air to satisfy
my burning, aching lungs

screaming eternally
Bleeding internally
back and forth
forth and back
no reprieve

A voice in the darkness
calls to me
almost screams, "No!"
calls my name, drags at me
will not let me go

Venturing into that abyss
it guides me
as i balance on the border
twisted roads of insanity
not so far away

Anguish in the mind, the body
"Heal it, heal it" the voice cries
"Let me help you, tell me how", it says
I don't know, i don't want to leave
So much easier to be broken

But for that voice
makes it so hard to stay
that need, that comfort
makes me want to go
to follow it

Nothing stronger, confidence
Just dulling the pain to reach
Anything to grasp
anything to hold onto
so glad to be pulled
from the mindbreaking twisted abyss

So much warmth in an item
a simple chalice
A promise, a ring
all I desire, it's worth it
now i can stay...
