House of Consequences

Deep in the shadows,

Buried in the dark,

Only this mortal knows

That this became the start

 

The beginning wasn't certain;

There were several ways

First it was the curtain,

While the deepening still stays

 

But as I found just how hard

That steel wall was to move,

I realized now my life is scarred.

What did I try to prove?

 

Deep under water,

Buried under sea,

This darkness was my daughter,

And fate the referee

 

My insides were imploding.

The mind thought this the way

I convinced myself I'm floating,

But sometime it had to decay

 

Once I thought I'd caught her,

But still she's broken free.

And all that she's had taught her,

Shapes what's become of me

 

Still deeper in the sorrow,

Drowning in that pain,

Brings out with it tomorrow,

To drench me in the rain

 

But this is what was pending.

This is how she came to be.

Wasted time is now unending,

And oh, how it hurts me

 

So, this is how it was quenched.

Nothing will be the same.

The consequences condensed,

The memories will remain
