Stuck in self pity

Anger filling the void

Rapid expansion of the sinful city

The darkness being my call



Strangers walking in my home

Sounds of you not there



Never seen the night so dark

I lack the will to care

All alone in city lights

Where you absorb the echo



Taste the layers of my heart

See it shatter

Mute the voice



No direction

No final call

Alone to make the right choice



Bound for terminal descent

Sacred simple mark

Devoted little testament

Every simple spark



Keeping it together

For my own sake

Retain any sudden urge

Defy the high stake
