Serenity in the Black

Open eyes, I'm waking up
I see the dark engulf
Broken soul of ill repair
Forbidden warmth alone beside me
I see the world cold, love lost and lonely
Drowning in the deep
I cast my eyes upon the doubt that drags me down

I look into the black
And see myself relentless
I reach out and call for you
Yet I can't seem to grasp
Or find my youth's innocence
Old soul relinquish me

I can relate to the loss of love
And when you're blinded by hope
But you're just fucking giving up
You lose control and begin to choke
And there's no relief in this slow release and you drown

I look into the black
And see myself relentless
I reach out and call for you
Yet I can't seem to grasp
Or find my youth's innocence
Old soul relinquish me

You're looking back and you wanna react
But you cannot correlate, watch the fading gray
Consume the black and the minutes subtract
You start to aspirate
You cannot break away

Now I'm fading in the black
I've sealed my fate
Disgraced remorse surrounds me
I fall between the echoes of lost time
I harbor the pain, the hate, love lost for me
