Now, I Sit

Now I will sit,

No longer stand,

I will take death as it fits

To bleed open and bleed dry,

To let the screams out and cry

No more pain, no more happiness

Just loneliness and sadness

Seclude myself away, isolation

Forget the sight of day, starvation

No more sleep, no more eat

Hidden away from everything

Too weak to do anything,

While everything fails and falls upon

Death and desire, I desire death

Life and entire, it all is dead

Constant pain and constant thoughts

No escape and no other fate,

I am to burn in the depths of hell in my soul,

To go insane and give up all control.

There is a hole in my chest,

Ripped out and bleeding, it's fleeting

Gaping and pleading,

Oh for it all to stop

To go back to before

But I know,

Before will never be,

So I will sit, no longer stand

Let the blood drip down my hand

I will lie down and sleep,

For the morning,

The reaper shall keep.
