Out from the Shadows - Aletheian

Dark skies and I'm drowning in the flood again
Endless affliction sent to torture my soul
Why does this misery follow me
Why can't I escape this pain
Drill another hole through my skull
Release another demon
Take any length to pass the blame
Responsibility washed my hands clean
Demons in the night
Self righteous perception
Defensively
I hide blind in the shadows
Misery cuts deep and yet my innocent hands hold the blood soaked knife
Every action leads to reaction
Every choice to a consequence
Foolish decisions yield a price to pay
Pass the blame and yet the debt remains
Wipe the scales from my eyes that I might gain clarity of sight
With a new perspective I take ownership of my actions
The impending flood now seems a healthy rain
Pain is inevitable but misery is optional
Suffering and pain will fade away as hope lives on and love remains
