becoming

A shadow soon has ripened in my skin Devouring my core, wrapping me in As my eyes turn to glass, I start to see clear The way out from the depths of fear Each scar draws a map, each crack hides a door Every breath takes me further than the ones before No forgiveness, no return to what was pure The blackened remains are the ones to endure What have I become? The cold crept in through heartless skin My skin, this skin, bearing the cost of life The waning years carved in my frame Each mark is a chapter, but my will remains No chains to bind, no ties to sever I remain unbroken forever No chains to bind, no ties to sever I remain unbroken forever Fuck it, argh!
