Hope Dies

Granite exterior
Walls a thousand feet high
Stoic and eternal
The Fortress to my tender heart

All those who loved
Except for one
Tested and tortured

That center of balance
Resentment hangs forevermore

Never to be swayed
Oh, unyielding walls
Weather all storms
So we may never feel this way again

But, it's not their fault
How could they know?
We've rarely had words

The Crabpot scrapes at my impenetrable exterior
Dragging down at every opportunity
Resentment hangs forevermore
Grinding the concepts into palpable sludge

Uncompromising exoskeleton
Weather all storms

Hope is illusory

Naked and revealing
My tender heart
Exposed and innocent
My tortured soul
Guardian eternal
Hoping, waiting in deep contemplation
Of the anomaly

This is the core
Where my hope dies
Oh, unforgiving walls

Protect me from myself
Protect others from me
Until they give me a reason
To reveal my spiteful face
To reveal my mask
A guise of plausible deniability
Resentment hangs forevermore

The embodiment of Fear and Obsession awakens
The embodiment of Fear and Obsession awakens

For I'm a damaged soul and I was trying to save you all from me

Peeling the layers of my indiscretions
Fear and Obsession forever haunt me here

They can never know the truth behind my mask
My own catharsis, killing the innocent
Saving you from my trauma only created a rift
I didn't know how to say I'm the one in need

A universal truth came to life before my very eyes
Hope Dies
