Purgatory

Assemblage 23

So here I stand

Completely alone

My skin absorbs the rain



Helpless to control

Pieces within the whole

I can feel it starting again



A sudden descent

I never meant

To manifest itself



Caught unaware

In frozen air

By visions sent in stealth



How far I've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

My time is borrowed

But still I waste away



I've seen your eyes

Search desperate skies

For meaning they can't find



Succumbed to fate's

Unsteady gait

And found it too unkind



Plunge through the depths

Of what you let

Control you for too long



Life's fickle hand

Dealt reprimands

You prayed for all along



How far you've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

Your time is borrowed

But still you waste away



Watch the world pass

Through broken glass

And wonder what went wrong



Monuments fall

On shattered walls

We once thought were so strong



Our false beliefs

Are merely thieves

That steal our precious time



And off they flee

In symmetry

Never punished for their crimes



How far we've fallen

Dancing in the ruins of Purgatory

Our time is borrowed

But still we waste away
