Broken
Ethereal Spawn
I exist in darkness,
at work in a cold and gloomy mine
Yet I secretly wonder what beyond this purgatory lies
Do I have a choice?
Can I break the sacred law and walk away?
What secrets lie beyond the wall of fire that is I
I am broken;
dying alone at the end of time
with nothing but desire to fill the night
I rip open my sown shut mouth and eyes
and I see lies
So I speak: I shall seek the truth
Broken in eternal night
Broken is my surreal life
Broken by the written lies
Broken till the end of time
'For although nepenthe has calmed me, I know always that I am an outsider; a stranger in this century and among those who are still men. This I have known ever since I stretched out my fingers to the abomination within that great gilded frame; stretched out my fingers and touched a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass.'
Take me away!
For now I see that from which I tried to flee
It's not the life I live, no, it's me
I am broken;
dying alone at the end of time
with nothing but my fear to fill the night
I am broken;
dying alone at the end of time
with nothing but denial to fill the night
I am broken;
dying alone at the end of time
with nothing but myself to fill the night
