Second Skin

Hide the door
There's no place beyond
Who will follow
Until all is gone
Along the floor
Of carpet flames
There lies the truth
The silent name of all
Cold eyes staring
Into my innermost fears
Shadows glaring
Into sweet oblivion
A place so black
With shades of white
A stronghold where I can hide
Where all reins of life
- fall from my grasp -
This clarion call makes me shiver in fear
- it seals my curse -
The candle fades
In a lapse of light
It flickers bright
Denying the darkness
Will it ever change?
Weak and frail
Like wilting memories
We cry for the first light
And silently die in fear
Cold eyes staring
Into my innermost fears
Shadows glaring
Into sweet oblivion
A place so black
With shades of white
Where all reins of life
- fall from my grasp -
This clarion call makes me shiver in fear
The candle fades
In a lapse of light
It flickers bright
Denying the darkness
