Acid-washed into the void

I sought the root of all my fears

Psyche shredding, body razed

Now I paint the sky with acid tears

✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

Rift opened spewing lost years

Albums empty, photos blazed

I sought the root of all my fears

✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

Pelted with hollow stringless cheers

Black and white condolences, politely phrased

Now I paint the sky with acid tears

✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

Truths never uttered fill my ears

I longed for release, perception dazed

I sought the root of all my fears

✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

Scenes rain down, icy spears

Piercing through and through, I proceed unfazed

Now I paint the sky with acid tears

✮ ⋆ ˚。𖦹 ⋆。°✩

In the aftermath, foggy vision clears

With eyes and voice upraised

I sought the root of all my fears

Now I paint the sky with acid tears
