Shadow Melody

From Shadows it begins, a steady beat surrounding me.

A pulse to match, a line on me, cold as ice.

The sorrow and anger of things I couldn't be.

I tried to pretend, and so I payed the price.

Slipping down my arm, out of sight, out of mind.

A sweet release that cannot be found.

For bliss becomes monster, lost and refined.

And what some would want is to rest beneath the ground.
