Through sharp fires enraptured and piercing golden stars
With fear so close by his side, empty without its cold grasp
Declining into a moment of vulnerability so shallow
Cradled within a shadow, and hollowed out within
To crystal droplets gliding across his soft forgotten skin
With nightshades grasp urging him to wander in
Forgiving becomes an act for the weak and pre-defined
Cradled within a shadow, and hollowed out within
Anger leading to hate, and fear leading to impossibilities,
He wades through the clouds of his own self truth
Driven by confusion and strangled in self doubt
Cradled within a shadow, and hollowed out within
Prepared to push himself through iron gates held fast
Wandering through a tired valley of sleepers
Sparkling emerald havens surround his soul
Cradled within a shadow, and hollowed out within
A victim to that which he doesn?t understand
Entangled within a web of sharded sin
He begins to cradle his own fragile body
And lets the darkness pour in
