Entrance
by Half Empty

Spirals catch me with red hands
Drop demonic death demands
Falling closer to the center
Gone forever before I entered
Falling nearer, nearer still
Broken back, broke windowsills
No sight outside because of this
No sounds except my demon's hiss
No touch other than serpents tongue
No breath is left within my lungs
No way out, no way to find
The angels that I left inside
Of my house of rock and stone
Forced myself to be alone
Alone I wait, alone I cry
Alone I wait and wait to die
Alone I find the path not taken
Alone I find myself mistaken
Alone I wander through these halls
Alone I become aware of my fall
Falling closer to the center
Gone forever before I entered
Drifting farther from the entrance
Pray to God, pray for repentance
Pray the Lord my soul to take
Pray to God absolve mistakes
Pray for life and pray for love
Pray for mercy from above
Realize my prayers unanswered
Misunderstood my angel dancers
Pointing are they at my blunders
Laughing at decaying wonders
Pointing are they with their grins
Laughing at my mortal sins
Pointing still, they make me cry
Laughing at my wish to die
These angels point at my appointment
Laughing with mirth and disappointment
But all is fine and all is well
Angels don't exist in hell
Make them fall away from center
Make them gone before they've entered
Make them drop the bread of life
Slit them open; melt the knife
Stop me from falling in the center
With someone's grace, please let me enter
