Purgatory

So here I stand

Completely alone

My skin absorbs the rain

Helpless to control

Pieces within the whole

I can feel it starting again

A sudden descent

I never meant

To manifest itself

Caught unaware

In frozen air

By visions sent in stealth

How far I've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

My time is borrowed

But still I waste away

I've seen your eyes

Search desperate skies

For meaning they can't find

Succumbed to fate's

Unsteady gait

And found it too unkind

Plunge through the depths

Of what you let

Control you for too long

Life's fickle hand

Dealt reprimands

You prayed for all along

How far you've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

Your time is borrowed

But still you waste away

Watch the world pass

Through broken glass

And wonder what went wrong

Monuments fall

On shattered walls

We once thought were so strong

Our false beliefs

Are merely thieves

That steal our precious time

And off they flee

In symmetry

Never punished for their crimes

How far we've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

Our time is borrowed

But still we waste away
