Dead and Gone - The Absence

When syllables go soundless

the sensation kills you

to the brink of burning

from the fill of your filth

to their lacking still

while walking through these walls

I am now dead and gone

deep into your soul

you may live on as nothing

I am now dead and gone

Reaching further into the void

past the gates of slumber — forever night

to a non-believer from a distance

it seems much clearer

the total loss of mind

from suspended faith

to where it must die

It would be senseless to drag this out

anymore that time could wither

clock hands corrode

Live on as nothing

you live on as nothing

While walking through these walls

I’ve come to find no unconditional

Breeding this fear deep into your soul

I am now dead and gone
