Death's Call

Chasing shadows from my past
When death comes calling they grow vast
I’m falling into nothing fast
Haunting dreams come closing in
I always end up where i’ve been
A vicious circle from within

Explanations so illusive
Now i’m blinded searching for them
The aggressor lies within
This i know as we battle constantly

Whatever crosses my path, whaterver gets in my way
Whatever pours itself out as I remove the scab
If it’s attention you want, this is what needs to be done
Don’t gently tap on my shoulder, smack my head with a rock

Feels like what lies ahead is a lifetime of agony
There is a light at the tunnels end
A light that turns out to be the undeniable fire

A fire that burns, outside and in
A fire that reminds me of my every sin
It stains and distorts, then lingers and burns

Chasing shadows…
Explanations…
Whatever crosses…
