I keep running but the time is slipping out
From the void that was my headWhere does it end?
What is right?
It matters not
Left to rotLife is over but the fight won’t leave
As the light pours out of meWhere does it end?
What is right?
Dragged down
To endless nightI feel your judgement stick into my skin
When I taste the fever in your eyesShining black sun
A visionless sky
As I become
Suicide juggernautPathways laid by the snake
Our piss and shit is love and hateWhere does it end?
What is right?
It matters not
Left to rotUnexplored shame, sickening rays
Lifeless condition furthers our gainsWhere does it end?
What is right?
Dragged down
To endless nightShining black sun
A visionless sky
As I become
Suicide juggernautI killed the dream right before the shit
Like still life a numb mind hurts
It’s in the face of obsession masking a cancerLife cast the shadow
The dark pours out of me
