Electric Blue

In the Echo of My Anguish

In the echo of my anguish
Hangs the weight of my despair
Twisting into turmoil
Like fingers wracking through my hair
But in these waves of torment
I find solace in release
I scream to bleed the pressure
Building, billowing beneath
Below the surface of my suffering
I am surging with unrest
I am aching with the urge
To put my endurance to the test
Let me live, but let me linger
In the depths of my disease
For I have never been more eager
To test this bath of misery

(2015)
