Purgatory

So here i stand
completely alone
my skin absorbs the rain
Helpless to control
pieces within the whole
i can feel it starting again
A sudden descent
i never meant
to manifest itself
Caught unaware
in frozen air
by visions sent in stealth
How far i've fallen
dancing in the ruins of purgatory
my time is borrowed
but still i waste away
I've seen your eyes
search desperate skies
for meaning they can't find
Succumbed to fate's
unsteady gait
and found it too unkind
Plunge through the depths
of what you let
control you for too long
Life's fickle hand
dealt reprimands
you prayed for all along
How far you've fallen
dancing in the ruins of purgatory
your time is borrowed
but still you waste away
Watch the world pass
through broken glass
and wonder what went wrong
Monuments fall
on shattered walls
we once thought were so strong
Our false beliefs
are merely thieves
that steal our precious time
And off they flee
in symmetry
never punished for their crimes
How far we've fallen
dancing in the ruins of purgatory
our time is borrowed
but still we waste away
