Void Surfacing

Withhold acceptance
When we so easily forgive a child
Never asking twice for another
But we tell ourselves that we know better
An attempt to cauterize the mistakes
Love was branded on your skin
And now it sinks deeper

Ignite the innocence, the panic

Another night as unknowing takes
(The panic)
Another night of the time, to breathe
(Abandoned)

Now your eyes turn to your soul
And punish the inner child
Whose laughter you have stolen
Corrupting his freedom

Burden to another
(Orphaned, unseen)
Burden to another
Replaced by a sin, panic

Another night as unknowing takes
(The panic)
Another night of the time, to breathe
(Abandoned)

Ruthless acts in the black to go back to the garden
That is all it ever was, a selfish bargain
Ruthless acts in the black to go back to the garden
Between the love and the dissipation
You chose to walk

Burden to another
(Orphaned, unseen)
Burden to another
(Martyr for nothing)
