Compunction

In loneliness, damned, trying to find a way out
Weary and drained I feed the demons inside
Welcoming them to feist on my soul
I wear the mask of elation
Covering my sadness
Only to release the leech inside
As I drown on my own tears

Deceived to believe in hope
Not realizing the curse I hold
Shadowy smiles to hide the truth
Rusty nails to relieve the pain

Still, I roam in nightmares
In darkness, I'm free
Hoping to never wake up
I end and I leave for eternity

In silent auction, my soul left
In silence I raised the bet
I calmly invite the scourge
Of the broken vows I made
I gather the remnants of misfortune
Doomed to crave a light shining on me
Trembling from the cold
I drive myself to the edge
To a journey for my descent

Mislead by signs of ambition
I cut my own hand in disgrace
I withhold the sorrow
Just shoot the nails in my heart

Still my mind, my heart, all departed
Alas, I end
Finally I'm free
My whole, will roam unfettered

In this pitiful life all ends
In my sleep, with care, I fall
Falling into the abyss
My soul, my hope, my wish, all diffusing.
