I take a second and I pause To reveal this painful discourse Your heart whispered its pain The core of the cause…I alone remain So I contort and mutate to conform To ideals your twisted mind has borne Though each new step eclipses your hole Darkness clouding and veiling my soul A boy with a wound you can't see Is what resides in this man…in me So my smile conceals my contempt For myself and how I have bent In order to protect my love of all loves I must annihilate all I ever was Leaving what? I cry out in despair "A fleshy corpse enjoying the air" I am lost…I lose…you win To start a new life…where shall I begin Now the blackness I see as shelter Not a flicker of light within doth flicker It's cold…I'm hurt…who cares? Within this core of nothingness that you bear This emptiness, this endless void-it's true Is the source of my pain… But it's within YOU
