Death From Within

My feet they walk on ashes
They burn with each step I take
I've walked for so long knowing I'll never make it to the end
My hair falls each passing day
The color of my skin fades
This internal destruction of my body will help they say
My days are numbered I know
I'll never live to be old
The demon within only grows
Guiding me to death
I've swam in treacherous waters
My arms they grow so weary
My lungs they're almost filled to the brim
For a moment I almost stopped breathing
I feel my bones are breaking
My vision's slowly fading
The wires that they're inserting
The poison that I'm consuming
Is killing me
How did I get here
Have I made it
Or is this just false comfort I'm feeling
All the bystanders
I hear them mocking
But all their words just fly past me like wind
I've walked for so long knowing I'll never make it to the end
I'll put all the failures to shame

Hallucinations

Never once did you ever speak the truth
All your lies, your disguise
One too many times I was fooled by you
Hallucinations will suck you dry
Crawl back
To the hell from which you came
I'm no longer shackled by your chains
I'm no longer your puppet nor your slave
To the vile crevice at the back of my mind
Where the nightmares form and plague my dreams
Return to me I realized my wrongs
Don't leave me for dead I don't belong
Alone in my head you were my drug
For better or for worse

I am the backbone
I am the blood that flows
I am the air you breathe
I am what makes you whole
You won't survive without me
I'm the crutches to your crippled form
Maybe someday you'll see
But for now wallow in your ego
And just keep walking blindly
Murder your doubt in me
I am your basic necessity
I am your shepherd
I am your compass
Like the colors on canvas
The artist and his paintbrush
The merchant and his gold
You're the masochist to my sadism
I want to see you scream for me
I want to see you squirm for me
Admit that I'm essential
For I am your backbone

Yesterday Is Dead

I was so ashamed
So ashamed of all the things that I've done
Things that I should never have done
I have held all my guilt and all my tears
I have always wanted for all to be the same
Now I can only hope that all will be washed away
For yesterday is dead
And there will be no tomorrow
Yesterday is dead
Let me bury my past
Yesterday is dead
I shall look ahead
