All Else Fails - La Demencia Violenta

Cerulean light dancing on the floor
It shimmers from the crack above the door
These little white pills under my tongue
A portal left ajar
And I'll be here nevermore

Lungs burn from exertion
Death screams in my veins
Head pounds as the pressure builds and my flesh burns hot with rage
There is a time to forgive
There is a day to forget
But none of that means shit to me on this day of reckoning

I am the night, I am the dark
Right now I'm your God
I am what the mortared walls foretold
These nightmare days, these sleepless nights
Your life for my heart

You all look, but you can't see
The storm swells all around me
But I've found peace
There's a sweet harmony in these cold bits of steel
And they sing for me

Eyes blur from the trauma
Hands grasp in the dark
You can scream all you want but you know that there's no one here for miles
You will beg for forgiveness
That you were trying to help
But neither one means shit to me it's all buried in denial

I am the night, I am the dark
Right now I'm your God
I am what the mortared walls foretold
These nightmare days, these sleepless nights
Your life for my heart

I am the light, I am the spark
The blade in the fog
My final gift, a glory to behold
These nightmare days, these sleepless nights
Your life for my heart

Is this life enough for you?
Bound and chained in the dark alone
A broken mind in the cellar below
Now he is free, running in the black
No chance, never going back
He walks like a ghost in the night
Always here, but gone with the light
He can't be brought back inside
Better dead than alive
