My dead soul

A black rose unfurls from within my heart
Nourished by crimson tears that
Flow freely from my eyes
As wave after wave of hurt watch over me
I scream out my rage and anguish
Into the night where the
Ever-changing moon listens
The stars begin to dance
In a slow serenade to my pain

I’m in mourning for my dead soul
It seems like all of it is gone
It has died and left me weightless;
Now it seems I’ve lost control
Of the things that I kept hid,
The things that I know
The things that could harm you,
I’ve lost my control
Of the demons possessed me
Those that strive to kill
Caring for nothing;
Bending all to their will

I’m in mourning for people
Whose lives are now forever changed
All those people living lifeless;
All their fates now rearranged
Like they’re struck by tornados
And they’re torn all apart
Their lives become empty
For them there’s no part
In this thing that’s called safety
They’re left all alone
Empty and broken
Away from their homes

I’m in mourning for myself now
I’m the cause for all this pain
I’m the cause for so much misery
Really, there’s no one else to blame...
