In the air a summer breeze
Yet gripped by a sequence that will not release
Depression coils with venomous might
My heart ensnared, bound in blight
Haunted by youth's fading tune
A life in ruins beneath the noon
The past a phantom drawing near
Feeding on sorrow, birthing fear
Forgotten days they clutch and claw
Scraping through the bones of all I saw
A child lost, a soul betrayed
In the maze of time, I fell and strayed
My youth a realm forever crushed
Haunted still by ruins hushed
In depths where silent nightflowers loom
I am the architect of my own tomb
Beneath the weight of dread unbound
A shattered mind, no light is found
Seeking solace in tears that fall
Yet no hand answers, no voice calls
Through veils of time, a scream resounds
Faint echoes where no hope is found
Dreams are ash in ruin's wake
Where soul and shadow bend and break
Forgotten days they clutch and claw
Scraping through the bones of all I saw
A child lost, a soul betrayed
In the maze of time, I fell and strayed
My youth a realm forever crushed
Haunted still by ruins hushed
In depths where silent nightflowers loom
I am the architect of my own tomb
Seasons fade, but wounds remain
A silent witness to endless pain
Dreams eroded by the sands of time
A light condemned for forgotten crimes
Forsaken youth, in darkness drowned
Whispers of the past that only I hear
Regret and longing, a mournful cry
Beneath the ashen, weeping sky
In the void of summer's fleeting grace
A spirit lost, finds its place
With every breath, the past entwined
Youth once gone, in darkness confined
Forgotten days they clutch and claw
Scraping through the bones of all I saw
A child lost, a soul betrayed
In the maze of time, I fell and strayed
My youth a realm forever crushed
Haunted still by ruins hushed
In depths where silent nightflowers loom
I am the architect of my own tomb
