Mercy

I’ve become a monster
Under my own bed
And an enemy
On the war against myself

I’ve brought on heartache
To my own chest
And rejected the man
Starring back in the mirror

I’ve watched the sands
Slip through the hour glass
As my dreams flounder
And  purity fade away

I’ve completely lost myself
In the realm of insanity
And plead for one day
To leave this all behind

I’ve caught a sickness
That lingers deep in my mind
And the voice inside
Says I’m no good

I’ve hung the flowers
Over my grave
And prayed for mercy
For the decadence that has swallowed me
