The Dark Other

On the rocks, in the wind
The way back's guarded, by the other
Shall we just begin?
A waste of time
The way back's guarded, by the other
I can't stop the din

Mental wasteland

It's news to me, a foreign concept
I see the meaning but it's cloaked
I have the means to be ahead in the race
But all I do is sit and choke

Lashed down, by ropes unseen
Scramble for diamonds in the dirt
My mind is haunted by malignant forces
Who want to magnify the hurt

Feeding on the best of me

When my train, goes off the tracks
I'll take the carriage and paint it black
A wandering lamb in acid rain
Like an overflowing dam, set to burst from the strain

An overdose of life can be cured with a pill
A jab from a needle can cure all your ills
Like a hammer of violence, shrink wrapped in tears
Like a chalice of silence, full of all your worst fears

Voice in the void
Avoiding the voice
Drowning in pain
Downing it and saying again

Voice in the void
Avoiding the voice
Drowning in pain
Downing every drop of it and saying again

The dark other

The dark other
