lyrics
DELIRIUM’S REALITY
Darkness rests its hands upon my weary mind
Cradled in its blackened breast my burdens left behind
But from this silent lull a thunderous crash awoke
Now left to battle fears of which my thoughts had never spoke
And as my heart clenched tighter than the angriest fist
I fled to seek the solace of
Convictions that a hope does still exist
(Constricted by a doubt that will persist)
From out my furthest grasp unleashed to serve their woe
These vengeful phantoms taunt me with
Visions of defences overthrown
(Abscission of the sense I have known)
As the chaos ceased a calmness stilled my soul
Again to find the peace of mind that once had been my goal
And a tattered dream remains my only cost
Yet still I’ve heard the voiceless words that whisper through my thoughts
