Echo Sonata

it’s out of my hands this time 

damned to be a passenger 

on a star crossed drive

the fear is overwhelming    

behind your eyes 

the world is slipping  

you alchemize

repeat beginnings 

when barely alive 

I feel it all around me

Are you still breathing

Can you feel your soul leaving 

(barely alive) 

It stole into the night

Some wounds keep bleeding

One soul for you and I 

I return to the moment 

The ache found an opening 

To feed on me til the end 

bled from the marrow

Emptied and hollow

Emaciated and cold 

Feed on me til the end

I fell through the ground tonight

And found you deep beneath it  

Mirrored in perfect light  

My mask reflects the mimic 

behind your eyes  

the world is slipping  

You alchemize

repeat beginnings

when barely alive 

I feel it all around 

Are you still breathing

Can you feel your soul leaving 

It stole into the night 

Some wounds keep bleeding

An echo of a life 

The adversary’s face is growing clearer 

My foe mirrored

I return to the moment 

The ache found an opening  

To feed on me til the end

I collapse into ruin 

dissonance surrounding 

Are you still breathing

Can you feel your soul leaving 

It stole into the night 

Some wounds keep bleeding

An echo of a life
