Shining Black

I've been fasting face to the dawn from the desert of thoughs only prayers will cary on

I've been waiting knees in the sand will there be time enough for me to understand?

I've been breathing the air of high pass the cold reaches into my bones turning me to glass

I've been bleeding but the cup's not filled

I hope to see into it now, see my heart stilled far and away from here

I'd lie down to find some rest something whispers in my ear, the hurt has found a place to nest shining black...

I see you now shining black... you're made of steel shining black...

I've been fighting the worm of despair the hollowed me is losing strength, maybe

I don't care the demon whispers in my ear the hurt has found a home here shining black?
