The Power of a Dark Heart

Being with you is like being on cloud nine

Except that's too high in the sky

For any mortal to fly.

So i sold my soul

To the darkness,

Alone,

The abyss from which we all came

And where we will all return.

​

I walk with you now

Except it feels different somehow.

It's confusing.

I still remember feeling,

But now something’s missing.

I held my hand over a flame to see if it would burn.

I took a blade to my palm to watch the blood churn.

It's confusing

Because i felt nothing.

​

I walk with you now

Except you’re not really there, are you?

Time flies when you’re having fun, right?

Solitude must me really fun then,

Because it seems like just yesterday

When i didn't have to picture you in my mind

To make you real.

Floating adrift in space

A century since the extinction of the human race.

Reality is different here

In the abyss from which we came

And where I, alone, have returned.
