The floor creaks under your feet
Drowning out the silent roar
Eyes gaze barely from a safe distance
Rooms, floors, memories
Shifting, sifting

Empty bed
Never slept
Floor littered with words
Walls littered with fears
Ceiling caving in
Crushing all I've said, accustomed to
The dark
Ceased my struggle
Stopped the begging
Forgotten freedom
Gaping mouth
Jaw unhinged
This darkness swallows me whole
I hear my mind dripping on the floor, This is
Unrelenting

Tormented hearts, repeating
Missing pieces, stolen
Punisher; relentless, unmerciful
You're trapped! Imprisoned
Fouled the incantation

I feel a creature living in
The shadows beneath both my eyes
Hiding in my darkened circles
Blackening my sight and my mind
Your demon looks so much like mine
My demon looks so much like you

Secrets found in a red velvet bag
Will you ever see your friends again?
No one could guess this is what life had in store
So unfair and cruel but this isn't life anymore
Those you knew changed
Growing outward, grasping and reaching
Like vines, twisting around the trees, killing them, suffocating

Murder
Premeditated
Resignation
Withering
Forgotten
The use of friends
Hydratation
From the blood that forms
In my mouth
Bubbling sores
Feast on the flesh that is presented
Get
Out
Of
My
Head

Whose eyes are these that watch me? Never seen
I know they are there. Patient and lingering. Passionate suffering
No longer seeking a light to blind me
The darkness has blinded me enough

Stories plastered on the walls
Dripping to the ground
This building sinks lower in hell
Taking shape based on your will
It's alive because of her
They died because of her
The men are just puppets
Pulled by their own unraveling seams
Living an endless cycle
Empty torment
Now I start to feel it
The nightmares are just beginning

Thick
Calloused
These scars make up my whole body
A dead tree in the wind
I have no more leaves to give
I hoped to get used to these pains
But that time has yet to come
I doubt that it ever will
This feeling of dread rises inside me
Becomes my gravity and crushes me until I give in

Secondary witness, experience death
Find sympathy
Agonizing thirst, fatigue, hunger
Pretty little noose
Inviting deathbed
Be swallowed whole
Welcomed with open arms, claws
Vice grips in eternity of rot and decay
Your new friends are here
No more smiles, no more laughing
Eyes staring infinite
The company is full
Hell is full

Will you ever find your friends again?

Your demon looks so much like mine
My demon looks so much like you
And now I start to feel it
The nightmares are beginning
