HOLLOW CHAINS...

**I sense hollow chains...
Supple and binding...
I seek to jump...
My heart keeps pounding....**

Im being discarded, I know...
By a body that long gave up on a soul...
It feels like Retribution...
Peace can always descend in later...

**As I sense these hollow chains...
Now coarse and binding...
I beg to jump...
My heart keeps floundering....**

I lost the need long ago...
To subscribe to honour...
I pushed forth my will...
Never once the conscious dread..

I don't deny the dignity...
That flimsy might shall give...
Desolate and broken...
These fragments of memories all live...

**As I sense these hollow chains...
Crushed but still binding...
I've lost the will to jump...
My heart loses feeling...**

I'm not the one to search and beg...
These shadows to move away...
To let an empty soul to pass...
As the body withers into the grave...

No tears condemn the walls...
And their stance doesn't fail...
Beckon and call I can never do...
As I cling to these hollow chains...

Its just these withered screams...
And the madness that always follows...

**Let these tremors subside for now...
Let me rest in my fake glow for now...
Of ashes nothing so heavenly...
As I've long been for now...**
