The Promise Of Agony - Dark Angel

You  tell  me  what  will  become  of  us?
Are  the  lines  so  drawn  and  the  stage  so  set,
That  as  we  age  what  reamins  is  burdened  sufferance?
My  mortality  looms  in  its  visage  is  doom,
And  it's  speaking  to  me  alone.
The  years  will  unfold  but  what  is  the  use?
In  solitude  I'm  left  to  atone.

The  sins  of  my  past  are  returning  to  gnaw  at  my  core,
The  scars  I  have  left  and  those  that  have  been  left  on  me.
My  purpose  in  life,  is  it  unfair  to  assume  I  have  one?
I'm  not  fooling  myself,  what  now  awaits  is  a  nightmarish  end.

What  I'm  saying,  do  you  understand?
Do  you  know  what  it's  like  to  feel  inadequate?
And  the  future  ahead  has  no  place  for  you,
As  if  you  ever  thought  it  did...
Alone  in  my  shell,  if  I  come  out  I'll  die,
I  don't  want  to  escape  though  I  should.
No,  just  leave  me  alone,  *I  don't  want  your  help!!!  *
Yeah,  if  you  could  ease  my  pain  you  would...  (right!)

No,  you  don't  even  know  me!
And  your  words  of  comfort  fall  upon  deaf  and  frightened  ears,
I  lament  my  bitter  fate,  lachrymation  upon  examining  my  fears.
I've  built  a  fortress  around  my  soul,  impregnable  the  door,
I  refuse  to  admit  you  to  my  netherworld.
You're  correct,  I've  absolved  my  self-control,
This  spiraled  course  depression  has  me  on.

AGONY!
I'M  A  STUDY  IN  DESPAIR,  DOMINEERED  BY  THE  PROMISE  OF  AGONY!
AND  THE  HAPPINESS  IS  BOUND,  AND  THE  HOPELESSNESS  IS  FOUND.
I'M  IN  AGONY!!!
CAN'T  YOU  UNDERSTAND,  DESPONDENCY  COMMANDS  MY  AGONY!
and  I'm  waiting  to  die  alone...

As  I'm  drowning  in  a  sea  of  abused  visions  and  shattered  dreams,
A  chilling  descent  into  a  phobic  hell,
Insanity's  blade  performs  it's  correctional  surgery.
Impending  doom  in  this  blackened  room,  I  can  g
