Lost

I lay awake at night
Dreaming of the day
My heart will take to flight

Shadows playing on my emptiness
Flashing neon laughs of vacancy

Music my mind
Longs to devour
Stripped, more each passing hour

Damn the silence
Damn the cold
As the clock now takes control

Sadness’ creation
Grabs with bony fingers
Collecting tows

Echoes of madness
Takes a bow
Replaced by haunting howls

Screaming taunts
Someday
Somehow

Tock, tock
Lost in the ticks
That just forgot

Rain please rain
Wash this insanity away

Cleanse my existence
My reflection
Drown this void
Take these phantasm eyes away

Faded colors
The brush has dried
Smiles now hide

Damn the silence
Damn the cold
As the clock
Now takes control
