The End of Days

If I could drown out my muted mind
Run from the fears I constitute
Tear open my chest to give you the heart -
That was never even mine to begin with,
I would do so as quickly as I lose my breath
When you said her name like you used to say mine.

This mask I'm wearing is starting to crumble
My lips are beginning to crack from lies
I've cast away the angels light -
While the darkness sings me to sleep,
Like a mothers song to a distressed child
What a wasteland I've created from my Eden

If I could empty my body from blood and life
Escape nightmares that mask as dispositions
Oh my dear, if I knew how to tell you -
The sickness that fills the cracks of my soul,
Is like tar that will soon consume me
Why have I forsaken myself?
