The Darkness

or; spitting teddy grahams all over the place

from JoeUser Forums
Leaves of azure brush my lips
Clock is ticking back the time
Flakes of ashes cover me
Reason wavers through the rhyme

Luminescence frightens me
I feel safer in the dark
First my skin begins to sting
This pain leaves its wicked mark

First the light devours my eyes
It burns deep into my soul
My heart palpitates again
I'm consumed, I'm burning whole

I've become a phantom, flayed
Like a creature in the light
Darkness dissipates, divides
In the face of failing night

Will you leave me in this place?
Will you let me wither still?
Will you leave me in this place?
Will you let me falter still?

Nice, mate. Well, not nice, but you know what I mean.   

This could be song lyrics for sure.

That's the plan. I've been working on music for them . . . we'll see what happens.
