The Silent Dark

Here in the silent dark

The emptiness reveals my heart

Why are you so ashamed of me?

Living in a secret that no one sees

For all the tears I have cried

Embracing the sins of my past

It's those who surround me

And I see the worst in them all

I struggle with my demons

These are mine to bear

I can see your constant smile

That is, until you look at me

Dying alone where my legacy ends

The trumpet wave through audible air

The final breath that I draw in

Death rattle groan that no one hears

I've done this to myself, I created my own hell

What a fitting place for my end, for my end

I have bled my final drop

No longer can I stop the ache

Bleeding out all the honesty

Leaving an empty shell of doubt

Who is it you seek comfort in?

What is it I cannot provide?

I know of stealth in the cover of dark

That thief in the night was me

Dying alone where my legacy ends

The trumpet wave through audible air

The final breath that I draw in

Death rattle groan that no one hears

I've done this to myself, I created my own hell

What a fitting place for my end, for my end

Fading away at the forefront of pain

This mind is trampled by my very soul

I've done this to myself, I created my own hell

What a fitting place for my end

My last step on this earth

With a desperate look in my eyes

Now is when I need you to believe me

And know this was all for real

So I wait at the shore of failure

And I know it could happen to me

I just may deserve the exact same fate

And my path in life is bending

Here in the silent dark

The emptiness reveals my heart

Why are you so ashamed of me?

Living in a secret that no one sees

My last step on this earth

With a desperate look in my eyes

Now is when I need you to believe me

And know this was all for real

So I wait at the shore of failure

And I know it could happen to me

I just may deserve the exact same fate

And my path in life is bending
