Conquer
Paints with silver along the pulsing layer
Drips and drags, coming out redder
Grips along the walls, Built at Thirteen
Hides behind a black veil, try not to be seen
Cages the beating heart, and holds onto the pain
Feels numb and then pleasure, probably going insane
Says something, locked away without a doubt
Thinks but then pushes and falls all the way down
Leaks but struggles to get off the red-inked ground
Screams but doesn’t make any sound
Cries but there aren't anymore tears
Winces, and endures the everlasting fears
Looks around, afraid of letting anyone too close
Looks around, afraid of letting go of the noose
Lets the pain drip away, Ecstasy running high
Sighs as the wave washes over doesn't even try to deny
Lies and fake smiles put aside pain would always Conquer
Washes away the traces of night and leaves no alter
Endures the boulder resting along and smiles any worries away
Laughs at the fact people believe and are naive, when I am dying anyway
