Echoes of Woe

What are all these words, these words are all echoes
Why do I have these wings, these wings do not fly
A rendition of the last, the last is like the first
The beast in me lives on, lives on in my own eyes

No leash will fit my collar, my collar remains the same
As the wind inside my jacket, my jacket comforts me
Watch the colors fade, colors fade into my face
A shadow guides these words, these words in ebony

It's always so dark, so dark is the room
Her song comforts me, comforts me into sleep
Wrapped in a breath, a breath that lasts forever
Trapped in those eyes, those eyes that look deep

I close my eyes and see the same darkness
The same darkness that beckons my return
All I hear are my echoes of woe
Echoes that will forever burn
