Tainted With Darkness

I am trapped in my head, deafened from the cries and the wails of the eerie silence.
Haunted by the shadows of my past.
Victim to the ghosts within.

Seized by the demons of hell.
Netted in the lies of hope.
Captivated with the unimaginable.

I am suppressed in the chaos of my twisted mind.
With no where to run... no where to hide.
Overthrown by the voices embedded into the walls of my empty mind.

Drawn to the metallic taste of death.
Tainted with darkness.
Adopted by the unforgiving.
