a melancholy malady, has taken over me
a melody of memories, haunting my mind
sinful reproach I am guilty
the sadness builds within
and sorrow sings to the hurt
aching lament, is to know my honesty
culted understanding, I am one with the darkness
in the shadows I dwell
collecting madness from the bleak
lullabies of the damned
seems they alone know me
sacred trust, they keep my secrets close
hidden need, will not stumble
seeking the light I falter
sinking into the abyss, I gladly drown
tranquility mine
in the depths I am welcomed
