And Now The Stars (Burn Out)

after I am gone
settled to ashes and fleeting memories
you will find this and read of my exhaustion
from burned bits of page
my will has been broken with the strength of my eyes
as words become chains that will only end up as lies
it was an afterthought
an effort slowly burning me alone
it was an afterthought slowly burned away
an effort slowly burning

thank god for this descen
and fuck you all for not listening
to this final breathing and heart beating
now my life will hold more meaning
I stood composed and time revolved at my command
hope the images we created are just more than
your entertainment

grow wise and distant from the past
thinking of all the things that I put myself through
you thought my heart would last?
