As Screams Turn To Silence

I watched the walls collapse.

Beneath a hollow shell of lies.

Worn paper-thin and stained in black.

Fell beneath the fading light.

The shards that penetrate.

The thickest of my skin.

I feel the sting it separates, drains my body of it's sin.

The darkness that grows inside, like a cancer that's feeding.

Reflected behind her eyes as screams turn to silence.

The sound is deafening.

The hollow voices of regret.

Held like the damned under the flames.

Burned against the endless night.

The pain that suffocates.

A prayer escapes my lips

Force fed the lies.

I'm choking back the bitter taste of what I am.

The darkness that grows inside

Like a cancer that's feeding.

Reflected behind her eyes as screams turn to silence.

The pain grows to consume me.

Counting the scars left in it's wake.

The endless torment of silence.

Crashing down it separates.

The darkness that grows inside like a cancer that's feeding.

Reflected behind her eyes as screams turn to silence.
