Coils of Dread

In the hollow of night We fade Shadows stretch across the empty hall Where dreams dissolve into the wall A mirror cracks with silent screams Reflecting voids and shattered beams The weight of breath Too thin to hold Unraveling threads of stories untold Oh, the dread that coils around my core Endless black forevermore What is this pulse that beats in vain Lost in the storm, drowned in the rain Existential tide Pull me under, tear the veil Thunder and wonder Flicker of light in cavernous eyes Promises bloom, then wither and die Hands grasp at ghosts in the thinning air Chasing the why that's never there Time unwinds like a serpent's coil Devouring hope in fertile soil Oh, the dread that coils around my core Endless black forevermore What is this pulse that beats in vain Lost in the storm, drowned in the rain Existential tide Pull me under, tear the veil Thunder and wonder Beneath the skin The abyss awakes Of nothing For heaven's sake Love's fragile flame In the gathering frost Clings to the edge Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost Forever lost
