Carry on Screaming (Ruins) - Sean Brennan, London After Midnight

I’ve knelt at your altar

I’ve cut out my heart

I’ve lived in your ruins

My pain is your art

My wrists are bound tight so as not to bleed

My eyes were so dark so as not to see

The memories of the past are fading like a bad dream

I’ve never been so alone than with you

I’ve never been scared to dream until now

I can’t close my eyes

I’ll carry on, screaming

Your words are like ice, they melt in the heat

The cold and the pain which you seem to breed

Have become what you are and left your ruins empty
