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
