A Distant Memory

Away from the light
Into the darkness out of sight
Searching for silence
Embracing the solitude

Run - and lock yourself away
Hide - hide your feelings so no one sees
Deceive - everyone thinks you're alright
You are the light that dies

Fade away - dissipate into thin air
A mere flicker and then nothing
Long astray - the power of delusion led you here
Be a distant memory

Pain, dread, fear - the suffering will not end
Still the same - the fever dream remains
No way out - no doors in this room
Close my eyes - and walk towards the light

The silence cuts you like a knife
The walls are coming closer
Your goal seems so near yet so far
This does not feel the right way

You scream in silence - no one's there
To catch you while you're falling
As the light comes closer - you comprehend
Now you really are alone
