Dark Tranqullity

where were the eyes that followed

how could they've found?

these misery's merchants

struck the message deep

"we have come to stay"



dogs fled there in the dark of his path

feared him as once they all did



like a ghost in daylight

on an overcrowded street

he wishes

to be something he is not



lie a shadow at midnight

that originate in air

he wishes to release



deep in the back it had caught him

the anchor they threw at his life

oh these misery's merchants

dragged through life as a burden



rushed off to his cage of glass

to open the single window

a means of escape, out in the open

there are still holes in these walls

puking information into the unwanting

probing the last hope of defence

so he plugged up the holes

shut the outside window

in doing that, madness payed a visit



...and then suddenly in mid-thought

escape was a factor and as from inside

pushing out were words

through fingers came uncovering

revealing the truth of him there in the dark...



skin began to crawl as they neared him

is all pleasure release?

oh these misery's merchants

saw the message clear

"it is time to pay"



like a ghost in daylight

on an overcrowded street
