Passage Through Time

"Well, uh, you know, Joe?"

"What, Bobby?"

"Uh, you know I hold the keys to time travel
Way down in the depths of my mind!"

"Oh, you have them keys?"

"Yeah! Um, they ain't been easy to find, but uh
I got some beautiful chilling scenes going to arrive in a little

Here, but they're covered by Dark
Let out this picture show, 'fore it's too late?"

"Yeah!"

Shapes of uh, well really they came from Shadow
Power so stark, the Thief opened the repressed key's safe!

I secured memories behind many locks
I must tear down this fell stronghold
Expertly built around each sturdy lockbox!
Shadow Self raised his very own Gloomhold!

The Abyss within my Soul envelopes my Light
Failed to see my goodness, couldn't start the fight!
When I did vent, though, I was always "far from right"
But when Wisdom came, you bet I used my might!

"Oh ho, I bet you did!"

Yeah! A Shadowy Realm, made when toxicity seeps
My mind holds no sway, down in them Deeps!
Where the Darkness outshines the Light
There may be another way to fix my plight!

But uh, you know, uh, it's gonna bring my anguish, Joe
Uh, it'll be hard, for me to console!
But I write with my own blood, hitting that indicud! ("Mmm, yeah!")
Wincing as the words I write are carved into my own Soul
Like an Ætheric form of Clive Barker's Book of Blood!

"Or Harry Potter's detention, uh, with that High Inquisitor Umbridge lady!"

Yeah! My leaf . . . Ha, ha, ha, or rather my life
Has been, uh you know, one war after another
Denied emotion, so starved!
So by the flickering candlelight, I make words a bridge
Between us, though their words will be poison-barbed!

The Abyss within my Soul envelopes my Light
Failed to see my goodness, couldn't start the fight!
But, when I did vent, I was always "far from right"
So when Wisdom came, you bet I used my might!

I got to feed these demons down in the mud
Agitating them with each deft pen stroke
I slam my battle ram against that hold's barricade!
The Army of Me splinters the door
"It's done, it's broke!"

The Abyss within my Soul envelopes my Light
Failed to see my goodness, couldn't start the fight!
But when I did vent, oh, I was always "far from right"
And when Wisdom came, I used my might!

The works that I released are laced with my own Soul
Living breathing extensions of Cas, as a whole, yeah!

"And, uh, you know, it feels pretty good to just get it all out there, y'know?"

"Yeah, I get it!"

"The Abyss within my Soul, enveloping my Light!
That's what it was, Joe, that's what it was!"
