Catharsis

There are times when I feel

that everything is slipping from my hands

there are times when I want to fall asleep

to avoid the threat of time

So I ran away, I sought refuge in a different world

floating in hedonism, trying to write my name in water

I mixed mercury and sulphur

sanctifying my own blood

When a simple stare can hurt you more

than a knife stabbed in your heart

then you're ready to sacrifice everything you have

to chase a ghost

I was lost in Eden

longing for rebirth

Reality can strike and crush all of these phantoms

I had to wake up, like nothing happened

but I won't let this foul fiend take possess of me again

I'll keep on dreaming in my house of mirrors
