Decaying hope.

I am striving,
For that light up ahead,
I run towards it,
I'm dying,
Or am I already dead?

I've fallen,
And tripped,
Consumed by pain,
Into darkness I'm calling,
My soul's been strained,
And I'm bleeding inside,
But you'll never see me cry,
'Cause you'll never read my mind,
Maybe it's all a lie.

It barely shines through the night,
The only source of hope,
A glimmer of light,
With this life I can't cope,
Maybe I could end it,
But I still wouldn't have the answer,
Meaning,
Can't grasp it,
It fades in this surreal cancer.

Everything seems to be slipping away,
Everything is full of decay,
Hope is a shimmer,
The light but a glimmer,
Will I reach it?
It's so far.

Will I beat it?
It stabs so hard,
This evil chasing me,
Stealing me from where I want to be.
I see my dreams fading away,
Why is hope covered in decay?

Is it an illusion?
Or is it real?
Manipulation,
Alone I feel,
On this path it is so dark,
My life flies past,
Leaving no mark,
It sprints by,
Leaving me behind.

I'm trying to fly,
I'm caged by lies...

Yet I see,
A glimmer of hope,
Will it wait for me?
To untangle this rope?
Or will it go out?
Will it run away?
I feel blinded by doubt,
Covered in decay.

I'm pleading,
For it to stay,
Decaying hope,
Please come my way,
Before you're gone,
Decaying hope,
Please hear my song,
My life's slowly fraying,
And hope is decaying.

Loss of senses.

I am blind,
Yet I see too much,
Mixed up feelings,
With no sense of touch,
I cannot hear,
Except silent cries,
I taste only fear,
My mouth has gone dry,
I've been stragled to silence,
I scream inside,
So much intolerance,
Hope seems to have died.

We're lost,
So confused,
We're beaten,
Strangely bruised,
We've all gone numb,
We're never content,
We're all so dumb,
Can't let go of contempt.

Under a veil of death we live,
We live and know no life,
We have so much yet refuse to give,
Cut by an evil knife,
We're cut and we feel no pain,
So caught up in our trance,
All we see is our own red stain,
Falling when we try to dance,
We're all so dense,
We refuse to take a stand,
We've lost all sense,
Living in this fallen land.

Silent screams.

I'm kicking,
They're slipping,
No matter how hard I grip,
I always seem to slip,
They say they're open,
Then slam the door in my face,
So hard I'm struggling,
To lead them to a better place.

Why am I the only one?
What about the things they've done?
Where has hope gone?
How long will this internal war rage on?

I've lost myself,
Trying to help them,
Evil laughter I hear,
Claiming to trade a stone for a gem.

I'm drowning in darkness,
Though the light I drink,
I'm drowning in nothingness,
In evil I sink,
All this pain,
Yet no outward stain,
The harder I grip,
The farther I slip.

A sick twisted game,
Overpowered by shame,
What it's like,
No one knows,
My supposed friends,
Bring savage blows.

I close my eyes,
I'm lost inside...

They say it's right,
It feels so wrong,
They have no light,
They sing evil songs.

In a corner I sit,
So brutally kicked,
What's happened to me?
Why can't I see?
I feel only darkness,
I'm starting to choke,
I taste no light,
It's been forced down my throat.

Pure light from a fire,
Bruns painfully,
My mouth only feels drier,
Blood rains peacefully.

I'm so confused,
I always lose,
I scream inside,
So many lies,
Nobody hears,
They don't see my tears,
They stab my with violence,
My screams seem so silent.

The life of the dead.

Life is so unfair,
Nobody will ever care,
No one will ever see,
We will never fully be,
For what are we without love?
Paralyzing soaring doves,
The sun is covered by our greed,
Off of which this evils feeds,
The rainbow's promise left unheard,
We silence the singing bird,
Hate is all we want to learn,
And we wonder why we burn!
How can we be so blind?
We find it too hard to be kind!
Oh how we deserves God's wrath!
For so deliberately choosing this evil path!
We say there is no hope,
We say we're bound by too strong a rope,
We don't see this is what we chose,
Pricked by the thorn of an enchanthing rose,
We struggle for every breath,
In this world so full of death,
Anger, sorrow, greed, and dread,
These things fill the life of the dead.
