So I wear the darkness,
Like a badge of honor,
For the light is arduous to find and I lack the strength to bother,
Careless voices shout to the sky as the poison makes them stronger,
The poison turns a man into a monster,

And so I hide away,
For I know they won’t see my veiled soul,
I know it,
I know,

And so I hide within my misery,
I wish that somebody could see,
This jester's mask I wear is slowly killing me
This rudimentary world of pristine obscenity,
Lies told through bared teeth to conceal the rage and grief,

And so I pray,
But the prayers are left unanswered,
I pray only that someone might look upon me and be enamoured,
How long can this pain exist before reaching the surface of my skin,
Like a spiteful cyst,
Like a cancer refusing to desist,

But out of all this pain I’ve never known one like the one you left for me,
As you let the currents of time take me away,
And what did you gain,
What did you take away,
When you left me here to decay and you had nothing to say?

Has my loneliness led me astray,
Is this suffering my destiny,

Now that my heart has turned to stone,
You’d never know,
So many years ago,
I was beloved by the masses for being the fool,
Sat upon my cretin’s throne,
Now I reap what I have sewn,
Before I fade away,
And become an epitaph upon a stone,

I’ve forgotten how warm the cold can be,
I’ve forgotten how welcoming a goodbye is so bittersweet,
And so I sing from my heart unto my lips,
The silent sting of solemn bliss,

I sing,
From my heart unto my lips,

I descend to the hell of my own mind,
I’ve become enslaved by this cage,
By which I’m defined,

I descend to the hell of my own mind,

Was I born only for tears,
Am I merely a slave to my fears,
Through time lost through countless years,
Is this living?
Should I have ever even been here?

Should I just fucking end it?

Where is the light at the end,
Where is the prize for the tears in my eyes,
Where can I go to find peace,
Where do the monsters stop shouting,
When do the memories cease,
When does it not all seem so bleak,
God just take me away,
The pain only ever sustains,
Is this all that I am?
Is this all I was destined to be?
Why was I born with this curse of a world around me?

I reap what I have sewn,
Before I fade away,
Into the void alone,

I’ve forgotten how warm the cold can be,
I’ve forgotten how welcoming a goodbye is,
So bittersweet,
As the demons sing to me,
The lullaby of the damned,
Bringing me to sleep,

(just fucking do it)
Do it you fucking coward,
(do it)
Join us and quell your misery,
(fucking do it)
This is your destiny,
This is all you were meant to see,
Join us in the vaccuum of death,
(join us)
Fucking do it,
(just end it)
No more strife,
No more thoughts,
No more curse,
No more
