Blackened, darkened places of the mind
Darkest of reaches we have set aside
Far from the surfaces that we hide behind
Convinced there's nothing left from which to hide
Surgery to peel away the skin
Establish that your hollow from within
Truly the image of inadequate
Bury all memories, a future to create
Barren, empty, cloaked in hopelessness
Place of quiet 'n' constant lightlessness
Robbed of life, meaning, and allusion
Sloth I left behind was only an illusion
Driven to forget your departed stare
Surmount your death to end the nightmare
Blood now frozen, my thoughts entwined
On the path less taken in search of a sign
Got to find my way again
Probing footholds in loose terrain
Won't deny that our differences
Are what brought about this belligerence
Full offensive to leave the vertex
Riding a spearhead towards an apex
Uncover a truth, only time will tell
Of how you rose and rampantly fell
I, the lucky one, to have to deal with you
Uncertainty, desertion, all that would ensue
Your sudden death relived in me a monster
Alcohol induced, in search of the hereafter
Not a fixture on my imagination
Death, hope, the rise of my reflexion
Got to find my way again
Probing footholds in loose terrain
Won't deny that our differences
Are what brought about this belligerence
Full offensive to leave the vertex
Riding a spearhead towards an apex
Distance an ally, rewards the path I'm on
Pushing me headlong, away where I belong
Destruction, redemption, vengeance on my mind
War machine a march to leave it all behind
Bury the past, be a little bolder
One must die to grow a little colder
Nothing to show, it came to an end
Uncovered the truth, entombed another friend
Got to find my way again
Probing footholds in loose terrain
Won't deny that our differences
Are what brought about this belligerence
Full offensive to leave the vertex
Riding a spearhead towards an apex
