"I lost the last of my hope on that
night when the morning never came.
Staring in the eye of all those ghosts of loss and like the plague it crushed me on the eve of a
new moon"
I'm made of filth, of lies, no clean blood runs in me.
I've turned to everything I hate. Black Blood and dirt
in a human shell.
Leaving these trails of betrayal. Cold lifeless flesh, a
so called man.
Choking on the pain of others, in my own lies I drown.
Happiness was all I reached for, but sure, no one
deserves it. That dim light I still held, finally faded.
There was so much in me that I trusted, but so little I
Knew. The weakness I held was stronger than anything
and it turned me into arrows for the ones I truly
loved.
Forgive me for falling, I know you all trusted in me.
But I'm made of filth, of lies, no good blood runs in
me.
