Home In Peace

I don't belong here
The Shadow is upon me
Don't you understand yet?
You hear the song of life
I hear the scream of silence
Why are your eyes so blind?
I am bleeding from within
Drenching my heart with emptiness

I don't belong here
The Shadow is around me
Embraces have left me cold and barren
I want to lay within my mind forever
My thoughts are warmer than reality
I only feel safe when I dream
Dream of non-existence
Dream of a time when my essence
Was pure and unfading

I don't belong here
The Shadow has touched me
Too hollow to resist the draw of darkness
I am slowly taken
One hope at a time
Can you feel me vanishing?
Unafraid of what is familiar
Unafraid of the tiny visions
Evolving to simplicity

I don't belong here
The Shadow has taken me
Thoughtless mind
Voiceless speech
Residing nowhere
Disappearing everywhere
Complete in nothingness
Home in Peace
