Realize

The world draped in darkness
Carried on death's swift wing
Life can no longer grow
The Angels' no longer sing
Heart held in a fiery embrace
The sting of rejection still burns
Gasping for a single breath
Desperate for a place to turn
Tears tumble from my eyes
Falling crystals in the bitter cold
I lay here helpless and shivering
Hoping for it all to be told
The devils' whispers on the wind
I beg to understand what is true
Lies, illusions, and endless promises
All the words coming from you
A fog of insanity creeps silently
Paranoia suffocating out the air
This is the world I am caught in
Seeing reality through a single tear
Rays of light trickle through
I realize my heart must truly believe
That every choice in life is mine
Or else from this world I can never leave
