The stark midnight
Can't you almost touch the nirvana?
Feel the lacy stars?
It's not that far away.
Just behind the moon.
All you ever wanted.

The blind morning.
Can't you almost touch the thrill?
Feel the cheap frills?
Not that it's far away.
Just behind the mask you wear.
All you ever wanted.

The fawning dusk.
Can't you touch the velvet death?
Feel the raging flames?
It's so far away.
Beyond the way, you push me away.
All you never wanted

The demising stain.
Can't you you almost feel the tension?
Feel the raining ashes?
It's not that far away.
You're living dead.
Is this really all you ever wanted?

The darkening, fading wonders.
Can't you feel the underground fear?
Feel it all beginning to end?
It's not far away.
It's here.
This isn't what you wanted.

It's creeping in the void you call your life.
You're digging your own grave.
You're living in your own tomb.
Can't you feel the velvet death?
How could you not?
Greet it as an old friend.
You're only hours away now.

The world was once so bright, filled with such wonderment
Where did that go?
Was it when you went and sold your soul?

The stark midnight
Can't you almost touch the nirvana?
Feel the lacy stars?
It's not that far away.
Just behind the moon.
All you never ever wanted.

You were drawn to the light not seeing the darkness that lay within.
You're trapped here.
No leaving.
No leaving.
No leaving.

And now you're gone.
