Existence

My echo, a cold memento
A past stained so dark with malice
Back-breaking burden carried in tow
I've become inferior

There's not much left of me to save
These scars can't be erased
A hollow shell wandering the plane
A forsaken vessel

Escape from reality
Turn from longing for safe keep
I feel the weight of fate
Crush down on my chest

If I can't stay, please forgive me

It pains me now
To see the things I've done
Such a lack of remorse, you know not what you've done
You know not what you've done

You asked me to build my own life
But I chose the darkness above the light
To take you would be good will
Own your past, live with what you've done

Contrition consumes my nature
Yearning for an intangible break
Desolation consumes me
A realm of emptiness surrounds me

Is this the end of me?
Dare I fill my lungs again?
The end of tranquility
Is stuck between the world and me

Am I alive
Or trapped between two worlds?
One filled with choice, imbued with pain
The other, a void of conscience

The end is near
I've lost the battle, I've lost the war
The darkness has overcome me
I am no more

I'll see you on the other side

This is the end of me
Not alive but existing freely
At the end of everything
The void has broken me

With this, I bid farewell
Don't look for me, I am long gone
A whisper in the wind
Gravity no longer holds me

The specter in the doorway offers its hand
Outstretched, it says
"There's serenity
Among the shadows"

It pains me now
To see the things I've done
Such a lack of remorse, you know not what you've done
You know not what you've done

You asked me to build my own life
But I chose the darkness above the light
To take you would be good will
Own your past, live with what you've done

There's serenity
