I wear a crown of thorns

In my kingdom of tears

Veiled in a shroud of black

Robes of tattered emotion

Soiled and spoiled my love fades away

Darkness layered upon darkness

Deep abyss of empty thought

Reflecting on unfulfilled desires

All of my clouds are lined in lead

Scarred and charred, behold my broken soul

Must I continue with the glass half empty?

Shadow of shame, all encompassing darkness

Bleeding myself will only dull the pain

Enveloped by mind-numbing sadness

Shards of shattered glass pеnetrating deeply

All hope deplеting, the only blood I bleed is black

Gouged out my eyes to avoid my own reflection

The weight of shame crushing down on my shoulders

I feel the nothingness consume me; praying for it all to end

Blinded by my own self-loathing; praying for it all to end

I try to run away; praying for it all to end

Confined in my mental lead coffin

I cannot continue on this yellow brick road of solitude

Please hear me now, ‘merciful God,’ I’ve done all I can, I’m begging you

Mind careens out of control, a desolate path to insanity

Please hear me now, ‘oh loving God,’ I scream unto you my final plea
