An Exit

Cold hands drag me down Tear me from this place Warmth stripped from my skin Light drains from my face The dark turns to me Looking in my eyes All my vile features Exposed from the inside I keep falling back I'm surrounded by only empty space I'm so afraid I keep falling back I reach out for you Only empty space I'm so afraid My sunken eyes are barren As barren as the earth Around me there is nothing The nothing I deserve Withering like an autumn leaf The skin starts to decay Lost inside an emptiness Engulfed in endless grey Am I just a visitor Or left here to reside Lost inside an empty space With nothing left in sight Have I found my refuge? Or has everything I wished for been placed into my reach? Is my passage now complete? Shadows start to shimmer They swirl round around my sight My cold limbs become frozen I gasp for air as breath turns to ice Shadows start to shimmer They swirl round Around my sight My cold limbs Become frozen I gasp for air As breath turns to ice They take my hand and lead me away Will they take me somewhere else or force me to stay? The darkness finally takes its form And guides me to the gates Shrieking as they open A glimpse into my fate A hand upon my shoulder Turns me toward a light Bleeding through fragments of a new A new life Am I just a visitor Or left here to reside Lost inside an empty space With nothing left in sight Have I found my refuge? Or has everything I wished for been placed into my reach? Is my passage now complete? The light I saw before Is now devouring me I'm burned by the sound I'm deafened by the heat
