Night's Burden

Night's Burden
By My Decadent

The gloom has veiled around my face;
These tears leave stains of cold disgrace -
Self inflicted insomnia caused by dreams;
Outside nothing is what it seems.

Mutilated shadows dance on my walls
Hiding beneath bloody waterfalls;
Hectic thoughts inside my core -
I don't want them anymore.

Remembrance of past lives reflected at night
When I close my tired eyes and sleep tight,
When I drift away in a place so serene -
I drown in the darkness of this dream.

Chaos, anarchy, disorder - such affliction;
Driven by my own self into this perdition,
I still struggle - in my dreams, in my nightmares -
All for nothing because no one cares.
