Afterthought Lyrics by Vacuity

Foreshadow

2016

What is our purpose
To love, but what?
A fleeting glimpse of peace

Ever aware of a space that hungers
This darkness pulses
As it grows

And I can feel it
The rhythm in my veins
An arrow cast from arcs of rejection
From this wound my fire drains

And throughout this maze of sorrow
She revealed but one star
A singular shard of beauty
Pierce me from afar

A rush of black
As you embrace
The obsidian walls of your soul
Frozen and texture-less glass
Reflecting your emptiness

And I can feel it
The stranglehold of thorns
Enticed by the scent of roses
From my chest my lungs are torn

And throughout this maze of sorrow
She revealed but one star
A singular shard of beauty
Pierce me from afar

Abandon me, leave not the aftertaste
Scattered leaves and smoke on the wind
I've incensed your altar far too long
Porcelain and red stained glass
Plunged through my lungs

Eclipse the star of my eye
Ignorance of light softens the black
Enflame my longing
So consumed I walk on fire

And throughout this maze of sorrow
She revealed but one star
A singular shard of beauty
Pierce me from afar
