Aphonic Threnody - A Worthless Life

I opened my arms to welcome you in
Only betrayal, a life full of sin
I'm so sick of these wasteful thoughts
Every battle inside I bled and fought

I drank deeply from a dark well
It pulled me under to a new hell
Cast aside all that I believed
Why had I always underachieved

My hands showed a bleak history
Of stories coated in dark mystery
Longing to find a place to hide
Someone to love by my side

Follow me into oblivion
Across oceans to my fallen kin
The stars guide the chosen way
To the forgotten wherever they lay

When I first crawled out of that hole
The sun burnt my unclean soul
A hopeless witness to a worthless life
A wretched man with a worthless life

A face that no longer resembles who I was
I fear walking alone o be so afraid of a future unknown
The rain runs red over my eyes
As the whole world burns blood

The end is so close
A wretched man with a worthless life
