Burning

Shedding my old skin*

Looking down

Deep within

Falling

Fading

All is changing

There is no normality

I can feel

I can taste

Nothing

Everything laid to waste

Burning

Marching backwards through the years

Facing long forgotten fears

Yearning

Searching for a reason

What is my identity

It all lies in ruins

The world that I once knew

I'm searching the wreckage

Just to find a grain of truth

All of us shadows of our former selves

Must still receive some illumination

Frustration

Confusion

Set me free

I walk through the shadows

Of my sorrow

And fall down to my knees

Oh lord

Please comfort me

Marching backwards through the past

Facing all my fears at last

Lost within the creeping shadows

Twisted

Charred remains have cast
