Dark Fringe

Embedded image from another site

Cast yourself away into the deep emptiness
Forever where the sun is blackened
Lunge your self into the walls you stand before
Reevaluate what it is that your living for
Do you swallow your tongue in your transgressions
From the discomfort of your own disappointments
The hollowness in your head echoing and dumb
The beating of a calloused heart begins to grow numb
Death prepares for a guest in a room with no view
As you dance with the devil underneath a pale moon
No anesthesia pulling teeth with rusty pliers make your fist clutch
Grateful for life but could we be happy with this much
Good and evil are not just separated by dead skin
Only to find your soul decaying in the womb of a dark fringe
Crouched over in a hall as you try to find your way out
Incandescent lights are the only hope that you have found
How is the journey as your own enemy? I hope all is well
Have your walls finally crumbled as the earth is cut with a shovel
Shivering and weakened sleeping in cold sweats
I wont throw you away you will always be my friend
There is a little black spot on the sun today
But I hope that it is warm enough that you will stay
