Slipping - Penance

I, too, hear the cracking

The fury of the wind

The sound of everything crumbling

And fear it will not mend

You are one I’ve known forever

Yet your face has changed

Your soul is somehow different

Its aura rearranged

I’ve let too much slip through

And dread you’ll finally see

This darkness I’ve been hiding

Deep inside of me

My total lust for chaos

And confusion that I feel

Pain, suffering, and misery

And demons all too real

The end is drawing near

And no one seems to care

Things have come and gone before

There’s no need to shed a tear

All the warnings go ignored

As the final curtain falls

I feel nothing and I fear the same

As I stare straight into the sun
