Like buried remains    Of loved ones lost   The fire burns deep inside you   Pleading for your remorse   Waiting to be set free      Lost inside an empty promise   You have made your own hell   Depleting that which burns inside you   Taunting your very being   Being all you'll never be      Exposed to pain and nothing more   Collapsing from lack of strength   Nothing lights the path for you   Smoldering what you were   Replacing what you used to be      A wave of feeling overwhelming   Breaking who we are in two   Almost done with ending my life   Now it sets it's sights on you      Soon   You will see   This world will swallow you whole   You'll fail to thrive   And strive to survive   But all to no avail      Power stronger than you are   Blinding so you cannot see   Destroying all the want inside you   Desecrating what you crave to be      As the knife twists deep inside me   Seeing things that are unseen   You must continue with your journey   Do not waste your time with me      Refuse to allow   Sumission is defeat   Remain staunch    In cause and mission   With death entreating    All to retreat         © 2002 Aaron Jasper
