Dreaming awake

Infected shards of a fallen empire
Obsession flows
Like a fading whisper turning to scream


Weak but impure
Cleansing mind through separation

Self controlled
Breathing away beyond the waste


Who holds the key to relief?
Who filled my thoughts with regret?


Haunted by sleep
Tempted by need
Cold touch of fate

Conceiving wake

Silence speaks in deafening words

Many different views of the same act
Time does not heal, it just makes things worse
Now freedom lies dead in me

Truth lies dead in me
Lies now dead in me!
