Ashes to Ashes
Dust to dust
I feel my bones are starting to rust,

10 whole years staring at the wall
Will someone help me if I fall?
I see no ceiling up above
where is my feelings
And where is my love?

Everything I touch turns to dust,
deep inside the knife I do thrust,
Warm blood running on my skin,
letting the demons out within

tormented images, twists my brain,
never ending horror,
As my tears fall like rain,

10 whole years in this room,
Staring at the walls,
I see glowing eyes in the darkness,
As the Devil calls,

Am I a sinner?
Or is this self inflicted pain?
I love to see your face,
but memories have been drained

I lay here still
staring at the sky
I dont want to die!

Staring At the Walls

This was part of a verse i wrote years ago, for my old band, but never got to finish it

its about being alone, a hermit, and low self asteem and self inflictions
