Minds' Fading Flickering Flame

These dark empty roads
aren't heading anywhere.

No matter how hard we try
and how far we go,
we're never even certain what
we keep searching for.

While standing here,
these places where we dreamed 
of something better
just keep haunting us in our minds.

Ripping our souls apart
and finally tossing 
us to the ground,
leaving us lying totally alone
while trying to reach 
something unattainable.

We just keep ending
where we started,
not knowing that
until we reach the end.

Oh, I wish so hard 
we could finally get off these 
dark empty roads.

This air we keep breathing here
is like a silent disease
slowly poisoning our minds.

Now we just feel
how silent, ice-cold rain 
falls all upon us,
dressing us unrecognizable.

Burning our skin 
while we try to wipe it off.

Spoken words won't 
reach us anymore,
voices just echo back
like breaking static.

In the darkness, 
we are blinded 
by tenebrous light
which pierces through our bodies,
making us feel 
hollow and empty.

I wish we could float 
and glide upon the water
as it gently embraces us,
before pulling us into the abyss.

Here, this entity feels rusty
and twisted,
as everything is so blurred.

This is the day when
evil tries to reach us,
pulling us apart,
keeping us separated.

I don't know 
and 
I don't understand
this place
where we don't 
recognize ourselves anymore.

While we are standing here,
our minds make us wonder
how we even got here.

We just need to wake up
from these 
oppressive nightmares
that keep us awake.

Oh, how much 
we wish we could escape
from those depressive dreams.

We have been waiting 
for this for so long.

Silent words never stay quiet,
those words left undone.

They just whisper loudly 
between the lines, 
hurting our souls.

Sketching dark phrases 
on our mind's white pages.

Finally, we don't find 
any more sentences 
within our thoughts' open, 
empty drawers.

Our minds' flickering flames 
are slowly fading away.

The glow in our thoughts 
is slowly melting 
like molded wax,
turning into 
breaking static.
