in silence
night falls once more
leave me to my own again
deadly visions my only friend
my arm, these crimson dreams
won't they leave me alone
stop the pain, stop haunting me
what will make them go away
set to flight and live here no more
i can't live with this any longer
strength has been drained of me
hard for me to lift this head of mine
look to the stars for the answers
tell me what to do to end this pain
why won't it loosen its grip on me
do i need to cut it away
let my tears wash away the blood
that is a path best untraveled
here i remain screaming in silence.
