Decay

August, all the days go
The 16th comes to pass
I did not know it then
That I died alongside you
My life has no more view
Just scattered stones below
These words contort and twist
From joy to hopelessness

I can't shake the burden that is you
Wait for the end
As I'm falling back
On a memory

There's something in me
Still longing to finally know
If all of my ambition
Was lost amongst the years

There's parts of the past (The eidolon)
That I no longer feel (She fades away)
And with this new perspective (Now it's over)
It stains all I can recollect

As your hands grasp in vain
Your essence starts to drain
A glimpse of all your sorrow
With no time left to borrow

I come back to that place again
A smile and its mark on me
Did you know this was the end?
When you took your final breath

Casted aside from light
Beckoned beside the night
Your words insane worthless
Your name profane deathless

Her bright face withers to grey
A loving touch fading away
These empty and ravaged grounds
Are the legacy that surrounds

Taken by the storm of tears and the doubt never clears
I fall forever
Left a shell that is barren of all optimism
There was no reason

Even the brightest of stars burn away
The phantom of hate beckons you to his grave

Drowning in the sickness
As it leaks from your mind
And its seeping into my skin
As it fabricates, suffocates, mutilates, terminates

Shift your gaze
Turn away
Pretending
You don't know

They all know
I can't see
What's right in
Front of me

Look how faith has played its hand
Lost to my hate is where I stand
No matter what you try to do
Eyes in the dark watch all of your moves

Every move
Every move you ever made the dark was upon you

What can I say
With the weight of your words upon me?
The weight of your words

Decay of the mind
Decay of the soul
Decay of the heart that I once use to call my own

Decay of my mind
Decay of my soul
Decay of my heart blackened by all those faults your own

You've fallen apart
You've fallen apart inside my arms
No pieces of myself can
Put you together again

Let all of it fade
Let all of this color fade away
If there's any hope you'll change
I'm waiting to corrode with you

I won't let you go
Reach out for my
