Wraith - Apologies I Have None

In my sleep all I ever see

Is rotting corpses of winter trees

A twisted cypress that holds no leaves

Give a violent, lifeless, freezing scream

Black, the colour of my true love’s hair

It matches the black of the ice in her stare

And the blackened core of the corrupted thoughts I think

Black everything!

Fade away

Fade away

Waste away wraith

I don’t want to see you again

Fade away

Fade away

Waste away wraith

Waste away

She looked to me to be a rock

And I promised her that I was

But time stuck its foot in again

Tested me, turns out that I was dust

All you need is some help

But the black of my anger

It white washes everything else

I can’t help thinking

If you mention suicide again

I swear I’ll kill you myself!

Fade away

Fade away

Waste away wraith

I don’t want to see you again

Fade away

Fade away

Waste away wraith

Waste away

Every single morning

I fight through the same fog

Of painkillers and sleeping pills

What the fuck did I wake up for?

When each and all my actions

Every step I take

Are slow motion replays

Of previous mistakes?
