The Agonizing Wail

Embittered
Exhausted
Engulfed in apathy

A broken piece
Of human flesh
Enslaved by bigotry

A thousand times I faltered
A thousand times I failed

A thousand lies I told myself
In agonizing wail

Shattered, torn
And led astray
From things I cherished most

And here I stand
Amidst the crowd
A solitary ghost

Taken
For granted
Abandoning my deeds

Deception is
The masquerade
I'm bound to bear within

Another endless night
Lingering alone

Another pill
To ease the pain
In a world gone cold

One step closer
To end this agony

The mirror spits
The brutal truth
And the walls come closing in

The trigger calls my name out loud
A finger breaks the sacred vow

The pain no longer holds me captive
As I steer away
From earthly ground

Another endless night
Lingering alone

Another pill
To step away
From a life gone wrong

One step closer
To fulfill my destiny

The looking glass
The single witness
Of my impending tragedy

The trigger calls my name out loud
A finger breaks the sacred vow

The final warm embrace of death
Grant me the peace I never found

Another endless night
I hear them call my name
