Tomorrow

These ravenous thoughts still squirm in my skull
These poisonous veins still bursting with sorrow
One would think that such pain would rend senses dull
Yet through scorching delusion I crawl every dawn
And every day I'm just waiting for tomorrow

They say love is light they say love is life
But none of them lived and counted the scars
It's simply the kind hand that clutches the knife
Now cold is my breath, but colder your smile
Colder yet than the void that swallows the stars

There's an odd kind of waltz we danced for a while
To the decadent cadence of a crumbling hearse
Our hands slip back together, my grin turns to a smile
And red drops ascend from immaculate tiles
But little we knew we danced in reverse

A spring of black blood has flooded the grove
And the forests are fainting enraptured by blight
You were a seven-headed Hydra, my love
Three I have severed, and three I have crushed
But one I have foolishly buried inside

There's no truer forever than "forever gone"
What can an unyielding, yet broken man say?
I'm a swarm of drunk ravens hatching the sun
I'm no place for your head, I can barely stand one
Crawl outside of me, just go away!
