never mind the tears
as I waltz into the night
carrying only a broken suitcase
of memories and dreams once forgotten
for this path before me
I have chosen myself
-cold and alone I wander-
with only my shadow waving a bittersweet goodbye
I shall return to the cage of my own mind
there I may begin to safely fade once again
locking my minds rusted gates
and throwing the key into all consuming darkness
-here alone I lie-

Never again will I return to this jaded world
and it's many unknowns
-here I am safe-
dipped in grey and content
I have searched the technicolor world
and found only remnants of my past
strewn upon the dirty sidewalk
of this twisted and unforgiving land

no longer shall I be a pawn in father times wicked game as I reach for him
his second hand grasps my throat
capturing my last breath like a firefly in a jar

Here I am immersed in shadows smiling sleepily at the gleaming moon
suffering can not find me here
-silently i forfeit-
I simply would rather have nothing
than everything all the while dying
quietly inside
