Resignation

I resign myself to thee
Oh demon of my soul
Fingers laid in darkness
The strings of my control

Now I've lost my hope
As daybreak turns to night
As shadows fill my heart
As darkness snuffs out light


Without love i walk the earth
Without joy I stride this land
My actions hold no meaning
My castle's made of sand

Despite the yearning of my heart
The tides they always win
My fortress will slowly wash away
And my mind will fill with sin

I resign myself to darkness
I step away from light
Now cast away my struggles
Now shelve my will to fight

Can you blame me?
For these actions I now take?
Can you hold me responsible?
With all that's left at stake?

I am but a demon
A sinner in human skin
No angelic light inside me
Not a scrap of good within

This is my resignation
I shall never love again
This is my white flag
Pain, it is you who did win.
