FLESH

"Light Me a Candle," Said Flesh to Flame
Light it with anger and shame.
"Taste my submission," Said Pleasure to Pain
Feast on the remains

"Shatter me gently," Said Love to Hate
As the words struck like daggers to the beat of enrage
"Embrace me forever," Screamed Trust to Betrayal
Leave me believing that scorn will be etched in my scars

"Sleep in my ashes," Said Future to Past
Sleep with the remnant of pride
"Dream," Whispered Hope to Despair
Dream of the ones you confide

"Shelter me please," Begged Body to Soul
Please keep the hatred inside
"Why?" asked Lie to Truth
As it faltered to echoes forsaken in time.

I can never understand my own apathy
I can never hide away from insanity
I can never understand what is wrong with me
It screams in my mind.....
You will never comprehend or ever find
You will always be the blind that leads the blind
You are the reason I left me behind

Awake, Awake
Awake, Desire, redeem
Outside the world collapsed
Thought, denial, thought, acceptance
Inside the words confuse me

What does it mean?
All these thoughts that conspire
What have I seen?
Make it all go away
Walking away
From the face of a liar
Further away
From the mirror I shattered in rage

I scream to my mind.....
I can never understand my own apathy
I can never hide away from insanity
I can never understand what is wrong with me
It screams in my mind.....
You will never comprehend or ever find
You will always be the blind that will lead the blind
You are the reason that I failed and left me behind

Glorious Rage....
Drowning in guilt that’s corrupting my mind
Rage....
Choking on the lies that left me behind
Hate...
"Light Me a Candle," Said Flesh to the Flame
To late...
I beg for salvation, to die with my shame
