Wraith

In my sleep all I ever see
Is rotting corpses of winter trees
A twisted cypress that holds no leaves
Give a violent, lifeless, freezing scream

Black, the colour of my true love's hair
It matches the black of the ice in her stare
And the blackened core of the corrupted thoughts I think
Black everything!

Fade away
Fade away
Waste away wraith
I don't want to see you again

Fade away
Fade away
Waste away wraith
Waste away

She looked to me to be a rock
And I promised her that I was
But time stuck its foot in again
Tested me, turns out that I was dust

All you need is some help
But the black of my anger
It white washes everything else

I can't help thinking
If you mention suicide again
I swear I'll kill you myself!

Fade away
Fade away
Waste away wraith
I don't want to see you again

Fade away
Fade away
Waste away wraith
Waste away

Every single morning
I fight through the same fog
Of painkillers and sleeping pills
What the fuck did I wake up for?
When each and all my actions
Every step I take
Are slow motion replays
Of previous mistakes?
