An Exit
Bloom
Cold hands drag me down
Tear me from this place
Warmth stripped from my skin
Light drains from my face
The dark turns to me
Looking in my eyes
All my vile features
Exposed from the inside
I keep falling back
I'm surrounded by only empty space
I'm so afraid
I keep falling back
I reach out for you
Only empty space
I'm so afraid
My sunken eyes are barren
As barren as the earth
Around me there is nothing
The nothing I deserve
Withering like an autumn leaf
The skin starts to decay
Lost inside an emptiness
Engulfed in endless grey
Am I just a visitor
Or left here to reside?
Lost inside an empty space
With nothing left in sight
Have I found my refuge?
Or has everything I wished for been placed into my reach?
Is my passage now complete?
Shadows start to shimmer
They swirl around my sight
My cold limbs become frozen
I gasp for air as breath turns to ice
Shadows start to shimmer
They swirl around, around my sight
My cold limbs become frozen
I gasp for air as breath turns to ice
They take my hand and lead me away
Will they take me somewhere else or force me to stay?
The darkness finally takes its form
And guides me to the gates
Shrieking as they open
A glimpse into my fate
A hand upon my shoulder
Turns me towards a light
Bleeding through fragments of a new
A new life
Am I just a visitor
Or left here to reside?
Lost inside an empty space
With nothing left in sight
Have I found my refuge?
Or has everything I wished for been placed into my reach?
Is my passage now complete?
The light I saw before is now devouring me
I'm burned by the sound, I'm deafened by the heat
